Richard’s Profession
As Richard had grown up in the public eye and had been under media scrutiny all his life, he decided to take a break from everything. He had been MIA for a long time but finally decided to reveal what he had been doing for a while now. In an interview that Richard gave in 2015, he announced to the reporters that he had actually taken up a career as a Hollywood stuntman.
A Hollywood Stuntman
Since he had been disciplined and had endured so much, today that Richard is strong would be an understatement, He had grown strong both physically and mentally. He is now working as a stuntman for Universal Studios and his job often required him to jump off of high structure and work with fire. He would often have to light himself up 5 times a day for huge crowds.
He Needed To Spice Up His Life
When asked why he had taken up such a peculiar job, Richard gave a surprising answer. He likes that his job is not only very unique but also because of the fact that it is completely different from that job that he grew up having. He like that his new job is not as planned out as his old career. He loves that he gets surprises and new challenges every other day.
Need For Adrenaline
Richard says that the days he spent lifting weights for 7 dreadful hours a day did not leave him having adrenaline rushing through his body. He was slowly losing interest and did not want to pursue his career in bodybuilding anymore. He knew that there was something beyond this and he found happiness in working as a stuntman. There was something about lighting himself on fire that made him happy.
No Real Regrets
Richard has revealed to many interviewers that he does not have any regrets about his past and the way he was raised. At least we can say that he is actually making a life for himself, doing something he truly enjoys. He has made up for lost times in the recent years that have passed by doing something he desires. He must also be a little happy that he has changed a lot and does not look like ‘Little Hercules’ anymore.
Not Stuck In The Past
He has stated that he cannot change his past, that he accepts it and that he is moving on to better things. “I’m proud of my past. It’s not something I don’t want people to know, it’s just that I’m not going to be stuck living it,” Richard explains, telling us that he does not plan on being stuck in the past. He is happy that he can now make his own decisions freely.
