7 His Parents Tried To Beat The Gay Out Of Him
Adolescent boys typically slap posters of bikini-clad babes on their walls, but a determined young lad like Arnold Schwarzenegger veered in a slightly different direction and covered his room floor to ceiling in images of oiled up musclemen. “Why,” you ask? Well, if you ask Arnold he’d tell it was because, as an aspiring bodybuilder, he wanted to surround himself with photographs of his heroes. However, if you asked his parents, they’ll tell you it was because he was on his way to becoming a full-blown gay man and the only way to counteract the process was with extreme force. “He ran after me with a belt and beat me,” Schwarzenegger told Xposure. Seems extreme, but we’re talking about Austrian police chiefs (his parents were both police chiefs) in the early 1960s. Luckily, it didn’t rub off on young Arnie, famously commenting “Hasta la vista,” in response to one of his followers un-liking him due to his support of gay marriage.
6 He Thinks Sequels Suck As Much As You Do
The original is always better. Everyone knows that. The only time a “part II” ever contends with a “part I” is if it’s a part of a trilogy, and one person who takes this knowledge of pop culture into consideration is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ever since he decided to follow up the 1982 box office hit Conan the Barbarian with the 1984 box office bomb, Conan the Destroyer, he’s turned his nose up to almost every sequel pitch (excluding The Terminator and The Expendables). Think about having follow up Schwarzenegger storylines to movies like Total Recall, True Lies or Predator. We’re talking franchise money. Big time franchise money. And with the original star they actually might have been watchable.
5 He Likes Kindergarten Cop As Much As You Do
If you’ve never seen Kindergarten Cop allow me to bring you up to speed in terms of plot: a badass cop has to go undercover as a kindergarten teacher in order to catch a drug dealer. Classic, right? Yeah, Arnold thinks so too. During a visit to The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2015, Schwarzenegger said out of all the movies he’s ever starred in (remember that’s including HUGE game changing movies like Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Predator) the one where he screams at five-year-olds is his absolute favorite. And many fans who love hollering the movies famous, “It’s not a tuuuumor,” line would agree with him. He told Corden he loved working with children and even said, in a way, it prepared him to be the Governor of California. Apparently, the golden state government is filled with toddlers on a sugar high.
