Battling cancer and still training. Dolph is a legend.
I had a feeling something was going on. He has looked ageless for so long, and in recent years he looks pale and tired, and his hair has thinned. God bless him - I hope he makes a full recovery.
I didn’t know Dolph was dealing with cancer, he’s such a great man and I hope he’s going to be ok !
I have read that if you exercise while undergoing chemotherapy it helps the body circulate the anti-cancer drugs and hit those tumours
@@ronki23 didn’t know that and thanks for the knowledge.
@@rickym2881 I didn't know either. That explains why I had to look twice to recognize him. I thought: Is that Dolph? But hey, we can all get anything.
‘200lbs is just as heavy for a poor guy as a rich guy.. So here we become equal!’ Fantastic quote 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Till rich guy use sciborg exoskeleton
Not so in my gym, rich guy ask trainer to wipe the seats and handles..
the first Universal Soldier is a great movie
@@ryancang3627 then its not trainer but maid

Machines, like Arnold and Dolph, are not made anymore. 80s action stars just were different. Love to see them alive and kicking. May they live another 100 years.
yes, most of young people don´t like steroids.
@OdinThorWalhalla most young people don't know what a good action movie is or how to wait for something they want
@@OdinThorWalhalla you mean Hardwork
@@rhatikeo You referring about actors or strong people in general?
If it's actors, I can sort of see it to some extent. Though the ideology with actors kind of got skewered where in behind the scenes it looks like female actors are going harder with their training than their male counterparts. Take Chris Evans for example. Mr. Captain America, yet he tapped out from the MCU, wants to just live like Homer Simpson now, and is more than happy to let his female costars like Ana De Arnas do the action roles.
Also to further add to the comment. Arnold himself also complimented his female costars like Emilia Clarke and Mackenzie Davis for how hard their trained for their terminator movies. Though I'm not sure if he had the same compliment for the men though.
@@o.c.g.m9426 All what you said just makes you sound old. There is no such thing as an objectively 'good action movie', things change, people change with them. That said there's plenty of actors these days as well who put in more than enough work and effort into their craft.
“No 40th anniversary cake”…priceless. Arnold’s humour never fades.
Close ur eyes and listen is voice damn he is always look young
"no flowers, not even a note" hahahaha
omg tell me they're not gorgeous ! ... you can't !
Dolph is one tough SOB. The guy has battled cancer for 8 years, was told he only had a year to live, battled through and here he is standing tall pumping iron with the Terminator. Never Give Up, Never Say Die. 💪💪
Goonies never say die!!!
No, incorrect.
If he dies... He dies !
I must break you
Jeremiah 17:5 New Living Translation
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,
who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord.
I found myself simply smiling at the banter between Dolph and Arnold. You can tell theres positive history there.
Agree and that's healthy
They should of brought in Stallone
Funny how Arnold didnt hold it on the last rep at all lol
same
Never meet your heroes.
What?
"Scr*w your freedom!"
Oh, that guy.
Growing in the 80’s and 90’s as a child I always loved watching Dolph, Van Damme, Sly and Arnold. My childhood action hero’s man. These guys are absolute legends and amazing people.
I agree Sir
All those movies l also love love your comment
And now the best we can get is Chris Pratt lol
Sly, Dolph, Arnie, Bolo Yeung, Bruce Lee and Van Damme, these guys were just a different breed. We sadly won't see anything quite like them again i feel.
What about Mark dacascos
A Swede and an Austrian, seem like best pals and compliment each other wonderfully. The character and personality of each works so well together
Oh, damn here I was thinking Dolph was Russian.
@@justinholland9844 How many Russians do you know named Lundgren?
It's an absolute typical Swedish name.
@@OriginalPuro Like I care
@@justinholland9844Haha, your social skills are flawless
Man at 55 seeing my two favorite actors of all time together still exercising gives me hope to go out and live my life.
and then you die and then.............where do you spend eternity??? Bodybuilding will not save your soul on judgement day.
Just go out there and do it! Every day counts 💪
We must live it to the very end. Jesus said that He came and died so we may live life fully. Don’t be afraid, don’t let things hold you back, choose to fight negative thoughts with positive ones. God keep you, Brotha 🙏🏽😎
@@joshuablack8221 Fully means living for Jesus Christ. Not for bodybuilding or to be famous or to be wealthy or popular. No one was during the early days of Christianity. 1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation
15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

you are only half way there dude. loads of time
Arnold still has that strong social energy

@@tristankerr3655 Thanks for your beta input!
@@JohanChristensen_ thanks for your omega input!
He's got that big muscle energy.
That's how you live your life even in old age - positive mood and energy, and still lifting with old friends. Long live Arni and Dolph 💪🏻
Two legends. Sly, Arnold and Dolph were my teen hero's.
Growing old is a privilege denied to many and it's an honour to age with these legends. So many great childhood memories. 🌹
Well said ❤
Never meet your heroes.
What?
"Scr*w your freedom!"
Oh, that guy.
Pound for pound, Columbu was a better bodybuilder.
Growing old is not a privilege. What a ridiculous thing to say. Do you know how many people suffer because of age related decline and health problems.
@@axelstone3131 Growing old in good health*
Arnold is the definition of charisma.
i love his nazi charisma.
Never meet your heroes.
What?
"Scr*w your freedom!"
Oh, that guy.
@Fletcher Pleasure. Explain it to your children. 🩲 Edit: I bet you have non.
@Fletcher If it is, as it appears you said; screw your freedom. In real life we hunt you.
Arnold very humble ..
Who in the world doesn't like Dolph Lundgren? He is super nice, super humble, super strong, super awesome, a real super hero! Thank you Sweden for this wonderful human being😍😍😍
I ALSO FROM SWEDEN AND TRUST YOU.
Absolute legend. Such a nice guy. But cross him... your in trouble lol.
And super smart! He has a PhD in Physics from MIT and Sweden’s KTH (Royal Technical College in Stockholm)… He is also a Karate Master (7th Dan I think)
Арнольд и Дольф замечательные люди! Рад тому,что они поддерживают дружбу!
Never EVER thought I would hear the Terminator say "This is Elderly abuse". These guys are my heroes from the 80's to 90's era.
I would use that. I am "only" 57 but running 5km to half marathons in Finland's running competitions. I will use my abused body even I have Coronary artery disease.
They are my heroes along with Sly and Willis
Even the Terminator needed a vacation! 😁
Ditto. 53. Rocky, Commando, Red Scorpion. The era of the greats.
I spit my drink out when he said that and had literal tears of laughter, so so funny
As a kid these two, Stallone, Van Damme, Gibson, Glover, Jackie, Jet, were my heroes. It's awesome to see them still out doing it. To me no one will ever top what these guys did.
I agree! Also Chuck Norris 😁
@@Sebkrist omg how did I forget about chuck??? Thanks 👍.
What blows my mind is when I try to remember just how many movies I've watched since 1980.....🤯 I've watched all of these guys from the beginning of their acting careers..... I could've been a rocket scientist by now.....😳
Bruce Willis too
Don't forget Carl Weathers
Dolph is such a humble guy. A genuinely good guy and badass at the same time. Respect.
I wish I had a friend as positive and friendly as Arnold is. Can't help but smile every time I hear him pal around with his friends.
you realise he is being filmed and is acting. That is NOT normal life you sheep
Like he said in Twins, "I'm so glad we met. I'm so happy!"
Shame he wasn't able to run for president after a succesful run as governor.
This video just simply made me smile. Love when these guys are just being human.
Same here! Well said.
How can you not love Arnold? The dude is full of charisma and brightens every room he enters. Two legends!
Because he's a c#nt
unless he says "screw your freedom" ... arnold was the man.. but now he is a liberal clown
Ya, but SCREW ARNOLD's FREEDOM...
Yes but he's also a politician
"how can you not love (insert name)"
I'm starting to wonder if 80% of comments are just AI bots.
Dolph was an absolute monster in his Kyokushin karate days here in Australia : tall, fast and strong. I can't recall if he fought the Japanese full-contact legends of that era, but from memory they had different weight classes and he was a heavyweight.
man, what was that movie Dolph did in 80s or early 90s, where he was Russian spec.ops in Afghan.
The Scorpion or something?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Scorpion
Makoto Nakamura was that man
Dolph is a very humble man even with what life is now throwing at him! 2 legendary action heroes still training together 40 years later amazing!
Dolph Lundgren was so awesome in Rocky 4. Even today those training montages from the movie of both him and Stallone are HIGHLY motivating for training.
Arnold telling dolph you have to hold it on the last rep and then not doing it himself is funny
Love them both. I hope Dolph gets through it, he's a champion.
Arnold is always a masterclass of charisma & positive energy.
well check how much money he has , then check how much dolph L has 😅 and wonder why Arnold is always happy
So full of charisma and positive energy, yet still says ‘screw your freedoms [if you don’t want to partake in a massive medical experiment which we have no idea of the potential harms it could cause because we have zero long-term data]’.
Screw that guy, 👎
Yes
Dolph Is a real gentleman
Except when he said 'fuck yer freedomz"
He's a tool
This is just pure awesomeness! As a fan of both Arnold and Dolph, this is great to see. Two big action stars who are friends to this day and they help each other out. In a place like Hollywood, folks get jaded and arrogant. These two seem to be amazing men who remain humble and loyal friends. It's nice to see, excellent video!
Well put. Both are legends but also feel like guys you could just grab a beer with.
Two OG legends just chatting it up and sharing their wonderful stories with the rest of us.
The Charisma on Arnold I never noticed it before but, it’s really apparent here.. He was destined to be a star! ⭐
Damn. Arnold is 75. Hope I can still workout at that age.
its absolutely insane!!!
I need your clothes,boots and your longlivety.
My father still works out at over 75 also. Climbing ladders, splitting wood, etc etc
My great grand father was doing things right up until his death at 104.
He ate mainly farm animals, eggs, and fished.
It’s very do able if you put the time in, eat whole food(natural), get good sleep, and get out in the sun.
@@Eric1-373
Right on. I'm 47. Planning on never stopping working and staying active until I can't anymore.
@@Eric1-373 100%, my grand-father was the same way.
Watching Arnold and Dolph working out just made my day.
I turn 40 next month. I just finished training my student. Thank you both for setting great examples as men and performers. You guys have been friends my whole life. This is what it's all about. God bless you Dolph. I pray for your recovery and strength. Grateful for all your days Arnold. Thank you both so much.
Happy Birthday!! 🎂, a little bit late i know
The energy from Arnold is fantastic!
I hope Dolph can pull through the cancer treatment. I know how fked up cancer can be, i lost my mom to it a couple of months ago.
So sorry about your mom. Has not heard Dolph is affected. Wishing him the best too.
Sorry for your loss. My dad died of cancer when I was 10. I know how it feels.
Sorry for your loss. I've lost 3 family members because of cancer too
30 sets of back with Lou!!! I met Lou Ferrigno the other day in the airport. He was a class act very humble. I told him when I was a kid I used to put my weight bench in front of the TV while watching the incredible hulk and lift during the commercials. He put out his hand. I shook it. He said keep it up and thank you. Never forget how awesome that day was. Thank you to these guys too.
Dolph Lundgren ❤ Arnold Schwarzenegger 💥👍👏💯🙏🥰
I do not understand how Graham's channel does not have millions and millions of subscribers. The content is pure gold.
Gold is subjective
Because you dont need to subscribe in order to watch the videos, duh.
Because he uploads 50 videos for one interview. How about just releasing it as one video.
@@vika0194 I don't think Graham is the problem. The cultural landscape is not the same as the 90s,videos like this one, would have been a VHS bestsellers at blockbuster or Virgin megastore. The relationship between the stars and followers were something like a god cult.
Because Graham has CLASS. And CZcams success requires the exact opposite.
Герои моего детства по-прежнему круты. Живите долго, мужики! 💪
mne tose :)
да без них было бы трудно представить боевики.
Собрали лучших фриков 80х и 90х годов и сняли отличные фильмы. Теперь герои.
Arnold was once a great man, but like many he showed his true colors over the last few years during the COVID hysteria. "Screw your freedoms" -Arnold Schwarzanegger, just another woke traitor

Dolph is a legend. I always loved his films.
Как же я уважаю этих старичков!Любимые актеры,настоящие легенды!
Улыбка Арнольда вызывает доброту и восхищение. Так я привык к его образу что как будто у меня бы не было детства без его участия в фильмах которые я пересмотрел по несколько раз.
The Terminator and The Punisher still going strong today. Arnold always got that great positivity when you see him.
Being 51 I grew up with these guys... Thank you for the smiles.... Two of the very best guys in Hollywood...
Arnold is such a friendly dude. You can tell the older he gets the more he values enjoying the company he keeps and just appreciating still being alive.
I’m 47, and these are two of my absolute heroes from back in the day. Grinning ear to ear, watching this entire video 💪🏻
You can see why Arnold is who he is. Guy is a charisma machine and so good at connecting with people
This put a smile on my face. The comradery is strong with these guys.
No one else could’ve done that part and Rocky except him that was absolutely incredible
It's really interesting hearing Dolph talk as himself. His roles always dumbed down his intelligence, but in reality he's extremely intelligent. I've been watching both of these guys since I was about 3 years old. I'm 44 now..... It's truly an odd experience watching your favorite action heroes grow old.....
You can see why Arnold is and was such a mega Star he's just so charismatic..
Two legends of the golden era of action movies 🎥
Those two guys are friends to me from the best part of my life. They are not pompous and arrogant like some who rose to this level,these two guys kept their feet on the ground and their heads never got big.I am glad that Arnold and Dolph became friends early in their life, because at our age that's more precious than wealth.Arnold and Dolph i love you guys like friends i have known for years that i have never met in person.I love you both for your humility and humanity.Arnold and Dolph please post more videos of you guys talking about old times so we can remember times gone but not forgotten. Love you both, thanks Graham.
This old dude's gave us some great moments of happiness with their movies
Love the natural banter actually see these guy for who they are. Nice
Arnold and Dolph Lundgren two legendary amazing actors
Dolph Lundgren would have been an awesome T-800 in his prime!
Good call
He was bad ass in Universal Soldier..i can def see it!
I thought Drago WAS a T-800
“It’s too late to worry about the abs.” my man, Arnie.
Arnold's sense of humour + his accent is beautiful
Lets all not forget Lundgreen also graduated from MIT. A smart mofo that got blessed in life.
Everyone wishes they were as genetically blessed as him for real.
He had a bad childhood though which is sad
With a masters in Chemical Engineering
It was the University of Sydney. He left MIT for Grace Jones, which I will never wrap my head around...lol.
@@chrismorgan9153 that's where he got his cancer from .
@@chrismorgan9153 because without jones, he would have never met arnold who probably introduced him to his hollywood contacts and the rest is history
Pair of legends!!!
They both made my childhood worth living
I love how our "superheroes" where where these real life action guys.. like their name on the poster kinda outweighed if the movie was good or not .. we just ate it up... and no matter if the movie was good or not they where always giving 100% pulling off amazing stunts and action scenes
Not shitting on actuall superheros BTW we still enioyed those In animated shows, games and comics
I was raised on Arnold and Dolph movies i am 51 and i still train those men are legends and inspiration to me.
The antithesis of action movies and action hero’s is these guys. Along with Sly and a few other guys from the 80’s. Those times, those movies, and those kind of actors who love a life of dedication to their art will likely never be repeated. Love em, and I miss those days.
Thank you Arnold, he explains other important aspects of going to the gym. People with the earphones on and ignore everyone are missing out on this. Plus, what happens in the gym stays at the gym.
Two of my best idols in the Hollywood action movies. Arnold & Dolph, also Jean Claude & Slyvester Great actors 👍👍💪
They are amazing actors and very good people. Happy to have grow up with these legends
Arnold & Dolph, two legends ! Inspiration and strenghtnes ! Both- be healthy ! 🌞
TWO TRUE LEGENDS!
Dolph is a true inspiration for chasing your dreams & becoming multi-talented in life. Dolph is beast mode incarnate!
Imagine having these guys not only as training partners, but as true friends. Love these guys.💪👍😃😎
You can tell from Schwartzenegger's dialogue that everyone's legacy is tied together. They were the 80s / 90s action stars. Dolph left Hollywood for Spain but when he ran in to trouble, they welcomed him back with open arms. These guys fought with each other over the years but once you are in that Gold's Gym / Hollywood brotherhood, you never leave. Also, love how these guys: Stallone, Lundgren, Schwartzenegger, Van Damme always try and pass on life advice to the younger generations.
and none of it will save your soul on judgement day. Jeremiah 17:5 New Living Translation

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv I'll give you that man! Soon we will all be gone and only God will remember. I detest the Anglo-American Order and its decadence: the hedonism, the greed, the selfishness of it all. God is watching and he is not pleased. Despite their camaraderie, all the 80/90s action stars - along with everyone who worked in Hollywood - is going to hell. They are all a really despicable group of people. I just hope God sends me to a better place.
Cultist@@JohnSmith-uy7sv
Arnold really commands the room, great charisma and energy, nothing like someone 4 years off of 80! Plus he's still built like a tank, chest is huge. Dolph appears subdued like the energy is knocked out of him, cancer is a bi*tch. Both are legends, great to see them together.
Dolph has a pretty reserved personality, naturally.
where the hell is Dolph in this video?
Great interview. Nice o see the old boys chilling out, training and talking about the good times.
Dolph Lundgren , I wish him nothing but health and happiness.💖 As I do the others. Great interveiw . Really enjoyed watching this . Thank you so much from Sydney OZ. . .
Man Arnold is just such a unique Human. I feel like an author couldn't even come up with a character as odd, unique, charismatic and just awesome as he is in real life. The guy is a cartoon
Two absolute legends are still training together in probably the worlds best gym 🏋️♀️ how great is that 👏
Love seeing these legends being so down to earth.
The Terminator and Ivan Drago just chilling like bros and working out.
I love that he mentioned the issue with long arms and bench press! I've NEVER been able to bench a lot for that reason. I wear a 38" sleeve
Facts that brought a smile to my face and dont forget about pullups being affected to, it's a long with up doing those lol. Something I always knew considering I'm 6'3 with a 6'9 wingspan but i still love hitting the gym
Try going wider :)
Ditto and it frustrated a teenage me back in the day.
@@Allan_Melon I went wider but it didn't help I actually found a medium width grip is best for me and I have a 6'6 wingspan
@@Allan_Melon wider is dicey if you’re tall. Higher risk of snapping that rotator up. The secret is build up your triceps. Pause reps, Weak point pin presses and Floor presses are a tall bencher’s best friends. 6’4” wear 37” sleeve dress shirts.
Two legends who brought many many smiles and great action movies in the great 80s & 90s.
It makes me so sad to watch these two legends from my childhood aging and getting old. But that's the cycle of life, for best or worst. I wish the best to both of them and I hope Dolph definitely beats cancer forever.
Long live all the heroes of our childhood! 🇧🇷
That's crazy how times passes, each year it goes faster and faster, life flies away from us, don't lose your train guys🤙
Im still praying for lottery im playing for decade as my parrents also so that i can definitely enjoy the rest of my life on my own!!Dolph is my favorite btw!
I never thought my childhood idols would get old. Time is ruthless . Legends.
I didn’t know Dolph was going through some health stuff. He has always been in top shape, and looked after himself, doctors in his family as well so I’m sure he is getting the best of care. Arnold is such a LEGEND, and with all his life’s accomplishments, his graceful aging is so impressive to me. He is out and about, working out, and I just think it’s great.
Как же приятно смотреть на своих кумиров детства. Живите долго ребята!!! 👍👍👍
Killing it. Living every single moment as if it's new.
Arnold must be a FANTASTIC guy to hang out with...such great humour,and he must have a ton load of interesting and funny stories to tell....I just laughed throughout this clip to his wit and stories...
Keep up the good fight Dolph. You are a legend!
We need a lot more Arnold's in life who saw a star in Dolph instead of being jealous. He always comes across as a genuinely kind person who loves seeing everyone succeed. I loved how he said in his new documentary you could call him anything you want but do not call him a self made man. He truly understands the meaning of community and support.
1986, me and the wife were in Vegas, at a Pointer Sisters show and sitting way in the back on the balcony level. Table were all length wise towards the stage. Each table had maybe 10 seats, 4 each side and 2 at the back. Five minutes after the show starts, 6 people were escorted to our table. A big, tall blonde guy sits on the very end and right next to me. I glanced at him as they sat down and it looks like Dolph, but asked my wife to check and see. One look and she said yes it is. He came in with his friends and one I swear was Bruce Weitz who played Mick Belker on Hill Street Blues. I have never been star struck type guy and do not bother people especially when they obviously came in under the cover of the dark after the show started. I turned to the side to grab my drink and he looked right at me and I said " hi Dolph, how are you? He said fine thanks. I turned back around and enjoyed the Pointer Sisters and left him alone. They then left about 5 minutes before the show ended. I would think that stars got special treatment and seats and all, but this was early in his career and maybe they decided to come at last minute. Either way, a memorable moment in my life.
Congrats Graham on interviewing this legend. In my opinion this is a next level interview and the best one I've seen in decades of any celebrity that's been interviewed. You were great as usual, but the openness and honesty of Dolph was tremendous and very refreshing. From his description of his battle with cancer, showing his emotions and fears of what he went thru, and even candidly just describing his issues with Sly, this was definitely an epic interview. And the icing ontop was Arnold and his humor.
2 LENDAS 👏👏👏
So cool to see these guys who have done so much and contributed so much to the world of body building having this friendship that goes through time and only gets stronger. It is amazing. Congrats to the two of you. You are true legends.
Growing up in the 80s and looking up to these legends now play out roles that we memorize and have imprinted in us for years to come. I'd be lying if I said it's not sad to see them in their later years of life, out of their prime but I am very happy and grateful they are still with us and still providing us with entertainment and hope whether it's on screen or off. I didn't know Dolph has been living with cancer now for close to a decade. He is one of my favorite action stars, I hope he can finally be rid of it soon and back to a full recovery.
Dolf in Rocky 4 is my go to when needing motivation. If Sly & Dolf's workout doesn't light a fire, check to see if you still have a pulse!
"Give me 2 more now... c'mon you can do it!". Haha, Arnold bringing the energy while spotting Dolph. Classic
Any video Arnold features in just warms and motivates you, amazing to see Dolph still training after his health problems .
This is so emotional,40 years training together like friends and colleagues❤
I started lifting when I was 19. I'm 38 now and still lifting. I was wondering how long I could still do it and then I see Arnold and Sly still doing it in their 70s ! I guess it's another 30 years to go....
Well, Arnold has had several surgeries including for his shoulder. Same for Stallone. If you train heavy for long periods you are damaging your body. That being said, they all used steroids and GH to lift even heavier.
I was 14 when I started and now 46 and still train 5 times a week. Just need to adjust your workout for your age.
