Kai Green is called one of the most charismatic bodybuilders in America. Unlike his colleagues, he acts in films, sculpts and paints. Its very appearance can also be called sculptural - it is as if it were carved from a single piece of stone.
Each appearance of Green in public amazes and delights the audience - he furnishes his shows in such an unusual way. His image is a strong and tough man, and for this fans gave him the nickname "Predator".
Biography
Kai was born in Brooklyn in 1975. The family did not give the son proper upbringing and education, because the parents simply did not do it. In those years, New York was called "the city of fear" - so high was the crime rate associated with robberies, all kinds of violence, drug trafficking and theft. The police were afraid to appear on the streets of Brooklyn, because any police officer could easily get a bullet - the criminals had a lot of weapons.
When Kai was six years old, his parents sent him to an orphanage. Of course, he was very offended, he felt bad among strangers. Even with drunken parents at home it was much better. Then the child became angry with the whole world, and his aggression often manifested itself in fights with boys. He was naturally strong, and often offenders "got what they deserved."
Green was taken into foster families several times, but due to his quarrelsome nature, he could not stay in any of them.
Fortunately, strength training was available at the shelter, and Kai began his first iron swing experiments. By adolescence, he was already quite strong. And when I found out about bodybuilding, I began to engage in this sport and very quickly achieved good results.
When he was fourteen years old, he began participating in junior competitions. This circumstance gave him even more strength and determination, he trained even more than was necessary. And he achieved a high result: at eighteen he weighed one hundred and eighteen kilograms and he had a high bench press - two hundred twenty seven kilograms.
Green had nothing to lose at that time - he had no one close to him. But he knew that he could reach quite great heights in sports and thereby compensate for everything that he did not receive in childhood. Therefore, he was all right about motivation, and for any athlete this is the most important thing.
Sports career
When Kai had the opportunity to become independent, he began to compete in serious tournaments and became a professional bodybuilder from the World Bodybuilding Federation. However, his ambitions extended even further - he wanted to get the highest title in this sport. And for this he needed to become a professional of the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) and become a participant in the NPC competition.
Green trained on Fifth Avenue, and he was inspired by the fact that it was in this gym that the most famous bodybuilders who later made a successful career once trained. He represented himself at the height of fame and really wanted to achieve the title "Mr. Olympia". This is the most significant international bodybuilding competition held under the auspices of the International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFBB).
It seemed that soon his dream would come true: in 1999, Green went to the international bodybuilding championship in Bratislava. However, he was unlucky - he took only fourth place. And then Kai's explosive nature manifested itself. He was so disappointed in everything that he left the sport, as he thought, forever.
However, then I changed my mind - I decided to just take a break after exhausting training and excitement before the competition. Green returned to serious work on his body in 2004. Several seasons passed until he was able to compete with dignity and became the winner of the Colorado Pro tournament. Four years later, he took third place in the Arnold Classic competition, and this was also a good result, because he was bypassed by real celebrities - Phil Heath and Dexter Jackson.
After that, Kai showed ingenuity and creativity: he began performing in a mask, which completely captivated the audience. He also added choreographic movements to the elements of sports, and it was already a real show.
Unfortunately, the athlete did not manage to delight the audience with these spectacles for a long time: he ended up in the hospital, where he underwent an operation. However, immediately after his recovery, Green resumed training, showing a real athletic character.
He resumed his spectacular performances, began participating in competitions and in 2016 became the absolute winner in the Arnold Classic competition. However, the athlete does not rest on his laurels - he still trains to achieve his cherished dream - to earn the title of "Mr. Olympia".
Creation
The spectacular "Predator" is often asked by journalists about his hobbies, and then he says that he was attracted to art from childhood. In particular, as a child, he drew a lot and with enthusiasm. When he grew up a little, he even wanted to become something like a sculptor or artist, but bodybuilding won.
When the opportunity arose, Green began to study drawing, and then took up painting. And he did it pretty well, his paintings received critical acclaim. And in 2011, an exhibition was held where Kai presented his self-portraits to the audience.
However, this is not all - the filmmakers could not fail to notice such a charismatic young man. And in 2013, Green was invited to shoot the film "The Iron Generation", where he received his first acting experience. True, he had to play himself, and yet it was a real movie. In the next three years, he played himself three more times in different tapes.
Two years later, he was invited to play the role of a stripper in the comedy "College Ready", and Kai looked very impressive. In 2016, he was again invited to shoot in the series Stranger Things, and here he had a rather significant role, and on the set he met Winona Ryder.
Personal life
Kai Green, despite the fact that he achieved everything himself, did not contract the "star disease". He lives quietly and modestly in the same place where he was born - in Brooklyn, in a rented apartment. He gets to his gym by public transport.
Green is not yet married, and the press does not know anything about his chosen one, although he had affairs with two athletes, but it did not come to the wedding.
On his instagram, photos are only of sports topics.
