«Don’t forget to dress warmly [laughs]!» «I froze my ass off for 54 nights in a row in Whittier with the little stamp I was wearing for my costume,» Dolph told HollywoodLife while promoting his association with Old Spice.
«Anyway, aside from that, it’s always good when things work out.» I’ve been around for a while, and I’ve noticed that people enjoy remaking things, and Masters is a charming tale.
I believe the film I produced has issues, but it is a lovely story that people seem to enjoy… especially because many contemporary comic book properties are darker. I believe it has a delightful quality to it, which distinguishes it, and I believe that people will appreciate it again when the new one arrives.»
Dolph’s He-Man outfit was just that: a costume. His Masters of the Universe costume comprised primarily of a brown leather body harness with a chest medallion, brown shoulder guards, a burgundy cape, and a burgundy cape. No word yet on whether Kyle’s He-Man costume will be identical to Dolph’s in the 1987 film.
In the next film The Expendables 4, Dolph will resume his role as Gunner Jensen. The iconic actor claimed that he has a «very entertaining» «small tussle with 50 Cent» in the film.

In a new Old Spice commercial, the Swedish actor is de-aged to advertise the all-new Old Spice Sweat Defense Dry Spray Antiperspirants.
Dolph stated that seeing his younger self in the advertisement was a bit of a shock. «I had to deal with witnessing my younger self take shape in front of my eyes. «It was a little creepy,» he said.
