Nope. This was from November 1979. This was PRE-1980 Mr. Olympia. From what I read he was just under 200 pounds here.

Nope. he was preparing for the Conan film at the time , in early 1980 he learned the news that Conan production was pushed for 1981 so he decided to enter the O in the fall that year.



WoooSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Don't think he'd grow his hair that long unless he was notified he got the role as Conan :D

You know.. I think it boils down to that he was more active.. I really think he tried back then, tried to hide the accent, he went to school and trained with speech therapists etc.

He laso used a lot of literal references and elequent words in his interviews around 1980, he read a lot at this time obviously, and I think that it had an effect.

Nowadays I don't think he gives a shit and just is in a relaxed state about the "hol sink".

Yeah, I noticed that too. He almost barely could pass for American back then.

No, this was from November 1979. It's from the Johnny Carson archives. It aired on TV on November 13, 1979.

He was preparing for Conan at the time. He says it himself at 1:10 in the video directly below. The complete interview was about 15 minutes. Directly below is the 2nd part of the interview where he mentions Conan:

You're right. That interview is pretty much the best, clearest quality English I've heard from him. Maybe helps that is talking slowly and not having to shout.

If he wasn't preparing for the role he would not have that kind of length of hair

He says in the interview that he's around 210 pounds (and 6 foot 2).

Thanks for posting this.  He is really one of a kind.

Here's another interview from around the same time in ~1979, where he says he has signed up to do the Conan movie, so it's probably around 6 months earlier than the Carson interview.  (Or however long it takes his hair to get that long, from the length it is here ...)

LOOKS UNTRAINED ...he really got himself good enough in conan,some scenes he looks smallish ,soft and others pretty pumped and fuller .interesting stuff,he really stopped for some time and got normal ,probably other than the heart operation is still going strong into 60/70's unlike most heavy steroid users,lets face it he took enough..

That interview took place in 1977 at the Cannes Film Festival when he was promoting "Pumping Iron". He signed a deal that year with producer Edward Pressman to do Conan but it took about 5 years before they actually started filming it. They were supposed to start in 1979 but then it got delayed another year until the fall of 1980. He was training hard that summer and then it got delayed again until the New Year 1981 so he decided to enter the Olympia in 1980.

Probably 200 lbs here.  Amazing how he blew up so fast.  Definitely a super responder.

Once you've had it, it comes back very quick.

Arnold is a great salesperson, he knew what he had to say on the show and he did it.
