The Austrian-born actor and former professional
bodybuilder claims the Real Madrid star possesses
a "fantastic physique" which has helped him reach
the top of his game
Arnold Schwarzenegger has confessed himself an
admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo, declaring the Real Madrid
forward to be in "spectacular" shape.
Ronaldo has been in excellent form so far this season,
scoring 12 in ten games for los Blancos in all
competitions, though his side are third in La Liga and
five points behind both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Speaking to Spanish radio network COPE ahead of the
2013 Arnold Classic, a professional bodybuilding
contest hosted in Madrid, Austrian-born actor
Schwarzenegger enthused about Ronaldo's condition.
"He has a fantastic physique," said the Predator star.
"He has some great abs - he looks spectacular. He looks
to be in great shape, so it is clear he's a great
footballer."
The 66-year-old Hollywood star, who rose to fame with
leading roles in films such as Conan the Barbarian
and The Terminator, was also asked if Ronaldo had
what it took to compete against him in the prestigious
bodybuilding competition Mr Olympia - a title
Schwarzenegger has won seven times.
"I don't think he'd be interested in competing in a Mr
Olympia," said the former govenor of California,
laughing off the question.
"He is interested in being the best player in the world. I
was interested in winning the Mr Olympia title. They are
two different sports, but there is no doubt he is in great
shape."
