Arnold Schwarzenegger julkaisi kunnioittavan somepostauksen edesmenneen Kirk Douglasin muistolle – muistatko elokuvan, jonka kaksikko teki vuonna 1979!

Arnold Schwarzenegger muistelee somessa edesmennyttä Kirk Douglasia.

Douglas oli yksi Ison-Arskan lapsuuden ja nuoruuden filmisankareita ja mies tapasi Douglasin vuonna 1979 yhteisen elokuvan merkeissä.

Kyseessä oli Hal Needhamin ohjaama länkkärikomedia Kaktus-Jack (The Villain).

Arnold muistaa saaneensa kokemattomana näyttelijänä suurelta tähdeltä lämpimän ja avuliaan vastaanoton. Arnold muistelee Douglasin olleen myös mainiossa fyysisessä kunnossa.

Kirk Douglas oli kuollessaan 103-vuotias.

Kirk Douglas was an icon. It’s hard to put into words what it meant to me to work with this legend who I grew up watching in Westerns in our little theater in Austria. He was larger than life to me – a real life hero. When we finally met on the set of The Villain, he couldn’t have been any sweeter to me. I was a new actor and he was the perfect mentor. He was already in his 60s but he was in unbelievable shape, and he could still jump off a trampoline into his horse’s saddle. I’ll always remember his lessons and our workouts together (back then actors trained secretly, so he’d pull his dumbbells out of his hiding place and we would do curls together). He was the perfect role model and my career wouldn’t have been the same without him. I will miss him dearly and my thoughts are with his family.
