In his fifth and final part of his interview with the Bodybuilding Legends Podcast, Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about the publicity surrounding the book and movie "Pumping Iron" and how bodybuilding began to be accepted into the general public and into Hollywood in the late 1970's. Arnold also talks about the controversy involved in the 1980 Mr. Olympia which he won after a 5 year layoff. Arnold also explains how he was able to launch his career as a movie star after he stopped competing in Bodybuilding. At the end of the article, host John Hansen reads the article "1975 World Bodybuilding Report, Part 2" written by Armand Tanny from the July, 1976 issue of Muscle Builder magazine and "Mr. Olympia is No Popularity Contest", written by Rick Wayne for the October, 1981 issue of Muscle&Fitness magazine.
