Király Levente - Keményfiúk

Nowadays, it's hard to believe that the famous stars who parade on the red carpet in expensive suits, live in villas with swimming pools and drive luxury cars, did not even run for food. However, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were not at all spared by life before they became icons. Kicked out of twelve schools and raised in a foster home, Stallone lived as a homeless person in the New York bus station in the 1960s after he couldn't pay his rent. Later, he worked as a ticket collector, sold hamburgers and cleaned lion cages at the Central Park Zoo, and even sold his beloved dog Butkus to make money.

Arnold, who is a year younger than him, did not have an easy childhood either. His father gave him a very strict education from a young age. His father required him to do training exercises every morning. In order to get breakfast, he had to do push-ups and knee bends. How much poverty they lived in is clearly shown by the fact that the young man of Austrian origin, who also worked as a mason before his acting career, carried water from a well and washed in a tub.

However, thanks to their perseverance and hard work, the protagonists of the legendary Terminator, Gemini, Rocky and Rambo films have become one of the biggest and most popular Hollywood stars of our time. Their names have forever been associated with those of fearless, rock-hard action stars with steely muscles, who gifted film fans with their overwhelming physiques and countless unforgettable works. The book presents the journey of the two veteran heroes to the top of the world through interesting stories and reminiscences, but we can also read exciting and funny stories about their adventures on the sets, while we can also get a glimpse into the stars' personal lives and their professional clashes.
