Phil Heath reflected on his many victories – and a few losses – in the competitive world of bodybuilding, after the release of his new film Breaking Olympia: The Phil Heath Story in his new uInterview.
Heath, an esteemed professional bodybuilder in the Ifbb Pro League, has secured an impressive seven consecutive victories as the esteemed Mr. Olympia champion, holding the title from 2011 to 2017.
Originally a Division One basketball player, Heath entered the world of bodybuilding in 2002.
“It’s usually not the case, right?” Heath told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “The guy that plays Division One basketball, having hopes of going to the NBA… goes to realizing that that’s just ain’t in the cards. What do I do next? And lo and behold, there’s a guy sitting next to me that’s into bodybuilding and I just start following him around. Next thing you know, I started gaining some real muscles.

From Rocky Balboa fights to cornfield baseball games, virtually every mainstream sport has received a few moments in the Hollywood spotlight. But it’s hard to think of a sport more intrinsically intertwined with cinema than bodybuilding. Football fans might enjoy watching “Remember the Titans” on an offseason afternoon, but cinematic recreations are unlikely to scratch the same itch as live games on an NFL Sunday. Bodybuilding, on the other hand, has enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with Hollywood ever since a certain Austrian named Arnold Schwarzenegger set foot in California. For the past half century, documentaries about the sport have often drawn more mainstream attention than any live broadcast of an actual competition.
In many fans’ eyes, the sport of bodybuilding first gained mainstream legitimacy with the release of “Pumping Iron,” George Butler and Robert Fiore’s landmark 1977 documentary about Schwarzenegger’s preparations for the Mr. Olympia competition. In addition...

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood icon and former Governor of California, has previously expressed a desire to collaborate with Taylor Sheridan, the acclaimed writer-director-producer. But the reason for his interest is not what you might expect.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter last year, Schwarzenegger revealed a surprising reason for wanting to collaborate with the acclaimed Yellowstone showrunner. The action star, 76, revealed that his desire to work with Sheridan stems from a desire to compete with his longtime rival, Sylvester Stallone.

“It was a competition against Sly,” he said, referring to his Escape Plan co-star. While the reasoning may seem a bit odd, it’s hard to argue with the rapport that Schwarzenegger and Sheridan could bring to the table.
Sheridan is known for his gripping and intense storytelling, while Schwarzenegger has proven time and time again that he can bring both humor and heart to his performances.

Now, the tennis icon has decided that it doesn’t have to be over if she doesn’t want it to be. During a press conference in San Francisco Monday, Oct. 21, Williams declared: “I am not retired.
