edition of style magazine g.q. has added another accolades to trucks and his list. legend of the century. is yummy. leave it and didn't remember action action action thank you very even better muscles muscles muscles at least that's the message i get i'm handling your m x reporter and i'm always pursuing the latest trends in men in this. song it's now i want to see how important muscles are to being a man today or what being a man means goes. time in the right place here on the red carpet at the g.q. god of celebration looking to compete with the prize winners. men often here like the two musicians gregory potter and mark foster spots i can still apply.

and actor but yes right before they all say muscles operate requisite. and all that just as important as character. muscles can't hurt to set up for sale to turn a guy into a real man who had some nothing this image conflicts or something nasty they're always in poland is inconsistent. but only one guy here really knows about muscles on all shots and i go for my bodybuilding world champion and mr universe if it's in the end this is the training intensity is the most important thing mune it was my stepping stone to america i used to train for five hours a day in munich if i'm sure they get through me it. well i can do that too i think and throw myself down on the weight bench. like ten million other fitness to do members in germany but after half an hour training i lose interest ought to be on.

i'm beat but i have to continue if i want to pump up my biceps. and neither can anyone who looked like that afterward. so i have the qualities for it or they're going to come as a nine that's what the show you do is have a course you have to have a lot of discipline and work hard out it's to reach the level of shots and i got out of it it's a poem gunshots and. no pain no gain but is it worth it. who would know that better than women. when to end it is rose who needs. to be muscle bound to be manly as most of these are not necessary but it doesn't hurt that i prefer a strong mind to strong muscles as mia and eva. well well but everywhere i go i'm confronted with heroic images of masculinity by the dragon slayer all lion tamers. high time to consult some predecessors and the collection of artifacts in billions

of dismissive the body called in the bench in greece and rome can be seen as the origin of today's ideals of masculine beauty but even back then muscles weren't everything. so and she often it was important to the greeks to bring their ideal of beauty together with a certain mentality or a beauty in the mind and spirit. the greeks had a word. for the combination of beauty and nobility it wasn't just about the body. yet today's world is beginning to realize the importance of balancing body and soul and expressing it through style. in the fine i think i still draw this fine line and not just in bodybuilding but in all areas and i'm and if someone crosses it if it gets to be too much gnashing is good. but if it's right up to that line it's brilliant. but muscle it's on just for body bill. this is who struck this stuff.

trumpet player and he's muscles but in his face you have to exercise them just as often they don't get as big as the ones we don't get up in your shoulders and i doubt you could make a movie with a trumpet player muscles but you could maybe become a world star but i think the biggest muscle that i use is my brain and i'm trying to and my heart i'm trying to to to open people's minds up and open people's hearts with music. it seems that men and muscles and such of that combination but without a heart or a brain they're not much use. twenty seventeen's man of the year not even arnold schwarzenegger would have gotten very far if he'd relied solely on the power of his muscles. well from great men to big ben it's time for a quick roundup of what's happening in europe today and first we had to london to visit the iconic clock.

the continent on thursday euro max was on hand at this year's event to find out who's making the biggest impact. the movers and shakers in the cultural world gathered in berlin on thursday night to celebrate the arts those dedicated to the promotion of culture were honored at the european cultural brand awards what began as a small event in two thousand and six has grown into a major platform for marketing culture and the arts. this is an attorney goes on to it's great to have a diverse cultural offerings human but if no one notices those offerings they're not consumed on these awards recognize the value of cultural management and cultural marketing and cultural sponsoring in all societies wing it was like as a chef gives arts managers are essential information and marketing culture variants of initiative roland martin broke using was honored for his life's work and francis morris of the tate modern took top honors as european cultural manager of the.

european trend brand recognizing special innovation in culture marketing and communication this year's award went to the berlin what's left stream project where artists and the public can experience culture that is literally on the move was named european culture capital in two thousand and sixteen this project is helping promote tourism to the city but you know it's a theme of fun on people who take this train do it in spite of the long journey because it's simply an experience you wouldn't normally have thought of it offers a first hand experience of europe on solid knowledge and the coveted title european cultural brand was awarded for the twelve time to a culture provider that has established itself through strong branding the code fruit brand awards two thousand and seventeen goes to new c.e.o. that's the group fairly see you on this. journey of the museum had one part for impacting the cultural and economic landscape of bilbao. was

in with the guggenheim in bilbao we've seen a multi-level impact. it's also the museum's twentieth anniversary and it's this real uniqueness this unique bilbao effect that is being talked about all over the world and this is something that is truly unprecedented and we have had a great you know i knew their story so these. their fix and two or yeah i'll find if there's three thank you very much. the european cultural brand the war it's an evening of surprise the tubes to benefit the arts. well congratulations to the guggenheim on a stunning twelfth when and as if that's not enough let's look at the numbers the museum in bilbao has attracted twenty million visitors in the last twenty years and it has done much more than to light its visit as its strong influence on the region

has led experts to hold it responsible for a socio economic phenomenon the so-called bilbao effect. so we wanted to give you the chance to see for yourselves what makes this award winning museum so special. the guggenheim museum bilbao the spectacular architecture draws large numbers of visitors making it crucial to the local economy in spain's basque country. we came all the way over here from vancouver canada to see the me it was time until i left the temporary exhibitions and everything life into the museum for me the museum is beautiful a special and inspiring curvy shapes straight and flat elements to it it's very interesting to. the museum also showcases art works outdoors jeff koons puppy is a particular favorite. and many are fascinated by louise bush was huge spider sculpture. inside the museum more cutting edge twentieth and twenty first

century artworks await the visitors the eleven thousand square metres of exhibition space drawing the crowds with temporary exhibitions of high profile names like textile artist. or video artist bill viola. richard serra's remarkable walk in steel sculptures are part of the museum's own permanent collection. but visitors don't come only for the art there's also exquisite basque food. the guggenheim in bilbao is the first guggenheim to offer a michelin star cuisine. the museum run by bilbao native juan ignacio be dark day is a success story. in fashion it's maybe that's because the museum lets visitors establish

a kind of relationship to the art rigs. and that the new not enough here on earth that isn't possible in any other museum in the world. want to know the architecture plays an important role. it's allowed us to showcase modern art in a unique way. the on spiralling building marked a pinnacle in the career of the u.s. canadian architect frank gehry after four years of construction work it was inaugurated in one nine hundred ninety seven as a spinoff of new york's guggenheim museum it was a risky undertaking in the one nine hundred ninety s. when bill was grappling with a decline in its local coal and steel industries not exactly fertile ground for an art museum. this was a real city within the economy traditionally steel and shipbuilding. but those industries were in decline in unemployment was rampant. and economically.

today bill by was considered a prime example of a city rejuvenated by investment in architecture and infrastructure it's prospered from tourism a phenomenon that's been dubbed the bilbao effect and more cultural institutions are coming like the us could as intro of a new renovated by french designer philippe starck. attempt bilbao effect to describe the process of reform and the transformation of the city. from within the life of the environmental social economic and cultural dimensions of this process. little barrel of thanks has a gun owners who want to copy it all over the well and when all and when that is on the local say the guggenheim bilbao put their city on the world map with one point two million visitors last year the museum surpassed numbers for new york's original

guggenheim that's generated thousands of jobs and build. but to stay successful the museum has to. main creative. life very much but i think that digitalization helps us connect with the public that way people can access our collections virtually and prepare their visits before coming to museum needs to continue pursuing this path. from the initiation. to celebrate the museum's twentieth anniversary in october light artists projected images from bilbao as industrial age on to the building's exterior. the past meets a glowing future at the guggenheim bilbao. now it's time for the final installment in our series indulging experiments all this week we've been taking you behind the scenes at some of the more unusual restaurants on the continent today we're traveling to iceland to visit

a chef who thinks there's no such thing as too much tomato the entire menu is based around the red fruit and the restaurant goes through around a ton of tomatoes every day they even grow them on site with a little help from an unlikely source volcanoes. but this really is an outstanding project a restaurant in a greenhouse in the icelandic village of records the menu at the fried hey my restaurant is all about homegrown tomatoes and not much else from tomato icecream to tomato cake to tomato water and of course bloody marys the concept is clear. one of the most popular dishes here is tomato soup made in served by head chef you all in secrecy and it costs around twenty euros per plate but at least it comes with time made bread. this is the fifth year we started with about five thousand.
