The passing of Bill Pearl at the age of 91 sent the bodybuilding community into a state of mourning. In a post made on Instagram, bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a heartfelt message following Bill Pearl’s unfortunate death.

Hailing from Washington and Oregon, Bill Pearl first rose to prominence at physique contests in Southern California, where he won Mr. Oceanside in 1952. His career spanned over two decades from the 1950s to the 1970s. He was crowned Mr. Universe four times (1953, 1961, 1967, 1971) and was honored as the “World’s Best-Built Man of the Century” in 1974. Pearl eventually stepped away from competing professionally but made guest posing appearances at numerous shows until 1989.

Bill’s illustrious career earned him the prestigious Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. He maintained a presence in bodybuilding even after competing by coaching and publishing a number of written works. Pearl never stopped bodybuilding and was highly respected for his dedication to the sport, well into his twilight years. 

His wife, Judy Pearl informed fans months ago that Bill nearly avoided death when he fell off a Craftsman lawn mower. As a result of the harrowing accident, Bill suffered a compression fracture of his T-10 vertebrate which required a six-hour surgery.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Bill Pearl Passing: ‘Bill Pearl was One of The Greatest Bodybuilders of All Time’

In a recent post made on Instagram, Schwarzenegger shared his reaction to the passing of legendary bodybuilder Bill Pearl.

“Bill Pearl will live forever in the millions of people he inspired. I know because I’m one of them – when my goals were just dreams, it was idols like Bill Pearl, one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, who motivated me to make the impossible possible.
