It is not uncommon for artists to pass on their wealth of knowledge from one generation to the next. Kanye West played mentor to Travis Scott, Steven Spielberg to J.J. Abrams, and Arnold Schwarzenegger to Will Smith. The 76-year-old, in his appearance on the Jay Shetty podcast, opened up on his words of wisdom for the upcoming star. It so happened for Smith to run into a room packed with The Expendables cast, including Schwarzenegger, where the latter explained to him the importance of promoting oneself across all markets and countries.
There so happened to be a time when actors achieved fame and called themselves ‘superstars’ while being famous only in America. However, Schwarzenegger wanted to build his persona across all countries and people all over to admire his work. “Hey, how can it hurt? Do it. Just promote yourself,” advised the former bodybuilder. The meaning behind it was for Smith to not only promote his movies but also promote himself as the star behind them. And it looked like the advice worked. Smith’s movies have amassed a whopping $9.3 billion globally.
It is not only global superstars that Schwarzenegger lends advice to. The humble Austrian also ekes out time to impart wisdom to anyone who seeks so.
