Arnold Schwarzenegger, aka 'Rock Balboa', gives a lecture in Brazil

Arnold Schwarzenegger was in São Paulo this Friday (25), where he was featured in the 15th edition of Expert XP 2025, an event focused on the investment market. The Austrian-American actor, known worldwide for his roles in Hollywood and for his time as governor of California, shared reflections on leadership, discipline and health in front of a corporate audience.

Now 77, Schwarzenegger remains active in both entertainment and social issues. Since 2023, he has starred in the Netflix series "Fubar," playing CIA agent Luke Brunner. His last film appearance was in "Agent State Farm," released in 2024. The visit to Brazil also included an interview with the program "Fantástico," scheduled to air next Sunday (July 27).

During his speech on stage, the former governor addressed topics that go beyond the political and artistic realms. As he emphasized, leadership is not only linked to formal authority, but also to the ability to overcome personal and social obstacles. He emphasized the role of self-discipline as a foundation for success in various areas of life, including business, physical health, and commitment to the environment.

Schwarzenegger also used the occasion to reinforce his commitment to environmental issues. He argued that states and governments must act more aggressively to address climate change. "Fitness, health, and a healthy planet go hand in hand," he declared, discussing the relationship between individual and collective responsibility for a sustainable future.

The lecture attracted the audience's attention not only for his charismatic presence, but also for its content aimed at executives, entrepreneurs, and investors. The presentation was marked by personal examples of overcoming adversity, as well as constructive criticism of global trends in the environmental and political spheres.

In fact, this isn't the first time the actor has delivered inspirational messages beyond the silver screen. Known for his career that combines bodybuilding, entertainment, and politics, he has spoken at numerous international conferences on the environment, innovation, and education.

The event took place in one of the main auditoriums at Expert XP, considered one of the largest investment fairs in the world. With a highly qualified audience, the venue was designed to welcome prominent figures from various sectors, including panel discussions and individual presentations.

Schwarzenegger's presence reinforced the event's international tone and livened up the cultural and business agenda in São Paulo. According to the organizers, his participation was one of the most anticipated of the 2025 edition, concluding the day with reflections on leadership and purpose.
