Arnold Schwarzenegger is an admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has a fan in Arnold Schwarzenegger

Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger has stated that he admires the way Cristiano Ronaldo takes care of his body, Marca reports.

The Terminator actor was attending an event at the Casa de Campo Exhibition Centre regarding the Reebok Spartan Race. The U.S.A is fascinated by the obstacle-littered race.

The 66-year-old admires Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo and has given his opinion as to why he is one of the greatest players ever.

“He has a fantastic physique and great abs. He’s in amazing shape. That’s why he’s such a great footballer,” he said.

“I don’t think he’s interested in competing in Mr Olympia. Ronaldo wants to be the best player in the world and what I wanted was to win the Mr Olympia title. They’re two very different sports,” explained Schwarzenegger.

The former California governor was asked which muscle was the toughest to develop, he said: “Each and every body is born with its own assets, its own strengths and weaknesses. I found it very easy to develop my biceps and my chest, but harder to improve my calves and thighs. Other people however, find it very easy to get the best out of their thighs and calves, but they struggle to improve their triceps or biceps. Everybody is different.”
