READ TIME: 1 MIN.
An upcoming drama about the early days of the fitness movement is currently in the works. Starring "Teen Wolf" actors Colton Haynes and Tyler Hoechlin as well as Julianne Hough and Kevin Durand, "Bigger" will also feature Arnold Schwarzenegger, played by hunk Calum Von Moger.
Per IMDb, "Bigger," directed by George Gallo, is about "the inspirational tale of the grandfathers of the fitness movement as we now know it, Joe & Ben Weider. Battling anti-Semitism/racism as well as extreme poverty the brothers beat all odds to build an empire & inspire future generations."
The brothers are responsible for discovering Schwarzenegger, and according to Deadline, Gallo is tapping Von Moger, who was Mr. Universe in 2014, for the role.
Hailing from Victoria, Australia, Von Moger, 27, started his body building career at 14 years old. Standing at 6'2" and weighing between 235 and 260 pounds, the young athlete makes an excellent choice to play the former California governor.
Von Moger took to Instagram to announce his role, writing: "A few years ago many of you said that one day I should play Arnold in a movie... that day has come. I will play the role of @schwarzenegger in upcoming Weider movie, #BIGGER."
