Calum meets idol Arnie

Highton bodybuilder – and Arnold Schwarzenegger look-a-like – Calum Von Moger attracted plenty of attention when he met his idol at the weekend.

Calum was at the Arnold Sports Festival, founded by the Terminator, in Columbus, Ohio and posted these shots of himself with the man who put body building on the map.

Organisers asked Calum to present an award in the bodybuilding section of the festival, which includes 50 sports, events and a major fitness expo.

Calum has been compared favourably to the Australian former Mr Universe at the same age of 23.

He is preparing a visa application to live and work for the next three years in the US where he will compete in bodybuilding shows, undertake photo shoots and seek acting work.

Calum is also training for a Mr Universe competition in South Korea in June. His fifth placing in last year’s Mr Universe in Austria as a relative newcomer made the bodybuilding world sit up and take notice.

He has already been signed by two major sports and leisure agencies and has lined up photo and video shoots with bodybuilding.com.

Calum returns this week to compete in the Australian Pro Grand Prix in Melbourne.
