4 He Basically IS Conan The Barbarian
When I say Arnold Schwarzenegger is basically Conan the Barbarian, I don’t mean he looks like him physically (which he obviously does). No, what I mean is their lives are strangely similar. Check it out, Conan was born in a small village and Schwarzenegger was born in Thal, a small village in Austria. Conan becomes immensely strong after years of slavery and Schwarzenegger got super jacked after years of intense bodybuilding training. Conan then becomes a famous gladiator and indulges in the finer things life has to offer and Schwarzenegger became a Hollywood actor propelling himself to fame. And the real kicker, Conan then turns his back on his old lifestyle and is eventually crowned king and Schwarzenegger ditched the lights of Los Angeles for the governor’s office. I mean, their lives aren’t identical but that’s pretty uncanny. If at some point Arnie gets crowned as an actual king, which isn’t completely out of the question, then he might as well change his name to Conan.
3 He Had No Idea His Son Was His Son
By now it’s public knowledge Schwarzenegger was sleeping around on his ex-wife, Maria Shriver. Hell, it was public knowledge in 2011. If you haven’t kept up with the news for the past six years or so, allow me to fill you in. Back in 2011, Schwarzenegger divorced Maria Shriver, his wife of twenty-five years after it was exposed that he had been sleeping with their maid, Mildred Patricia Baena, for oh, only the past fourteen years or so. Somewhere within that time, Baena gave birth to a bouncing baby boy whose father was, you guessed it, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Thing was, the identity of his father remained a mystery for a massive chunk of those formidable years, even to Schwarzenegger. The former California Governor has said he had no clue the boy was his until he started to see a resemblance once the kid had aged. Although gradual, that really isn’t the smoothest way to find out you have a son. And the situation should seem slightly familiar to Arnold because…
2 His Dad Didn’t Believe He Was Arnold’s Biological Father
This little factoid pretty much set the stage for a troublesome family life as you could imagine. Papa Gustav Schwarzenegger had suspicions that his second son, little Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t have a drop of his DNA in him, unlike his first son, Meinhard, who had oodles of that Schwarzenegger blood surging through his veins. Thus the reason why Gustav reportedly didn’t care too much for Arnold and favored Meinhard a great deal. We’ll get to discussing his father more in a second, but in regards to his big brother, they didn’t exactly keep in touch after Arnold left for the states. He died in a car accident in 1971 and according to Schwarzenegger’s then girlfriend, Barbara Baker, he was stone cold emotionless about the tragedy and never and I mean NEVER spoke about his brother at all. But if you have political dreams and your big brother is the favored son of Gustav Schwarzenegger, it may be for the best to distance yourself because…
