Hi friends!
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a versatile and interesting person. Now he is 71 years old. Who only he was not: a movie star, a great athlete, a successful businessman and politician. Arnold is the owner of the title "Mr. universe". Today we will talk a little about the interesting facts about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a picture of him sleeping on the street, under his famous bronze statue, and sadly wrote "how times have changed." The reason why he wrote that phrase is not only because he grew old, but because when he was Governor of California, he opened a hotel with his statue. The hotel staff told Arnold, " at any time you can come and have a room reserved for you." when Arnold left the post of Governor and came to the hotel, the administration refused to give him a room, claiming that he had to pay for it, because their hotel is in great demand. He brought a sleeping bag and slept under the statue and explained what he wanted to convey through it: "When I was in an important position, they always praised me, and when I lost this position, they forgot about me and did not fulfill their promises. Do not believe your positions, or the sums of money, nor your strength, nor your intelligence, nothing is eternal"...
Let me remind you that the 2.5-meter 260-pound sculpture of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the image of a bodybuilder was installed in October 2014 in Columbus, Ohio. This is a copy of the bronze 6-kilogram monument, installed earlier in the homeland of the actor in Austria at the opening of the Schwarzenegger Museum.
Country boy
Schwarzenegger was born in the Austrian village of tal in a poor family. "My father wanted me to become a police officer, just like him. My mother offered to go to trade, " recalled the famous actor. He always dreamed of becoming successful and rich. At the age of 14, Arnold decided that he would become a bodybuilder.
In sports the awkward, but hardworking young man quickly succeeded: at first became the champion of the region in weightlifting among juniors, and after won superiority of Austria on power triathlon in heavy weight.
Army service
In a hurry to leave, Schwarzenegger in 18 years went to serve in the army. The service was for his pleasure (he even arranged himself in the barracks gym), but in just 9 months, the athlete had had enough of the boss.
Once the fighter went AWOL to take part in competitions for a title of the young athlete of Europe with the best Constitution. In a poetry future star the actor, of course, won, but, when he returned on service, his on entire clock dispatched on the brig. "I could not miss this important event for me, but did not think about the consequences," Schwarzenegger admitted later.
Bad tanker
The future Governor of California, Arnold served in the tank forces, where he received a different driver's license to drive a motorcycle, cars and trucks, and even a tractor with a trailer. However, with the tanks themselves Terminator chronically unlucky: he forgets to put the car on the handbrake and drown it in the river, instead of warming up the engine will turn on the transmission and destroy the hangar.
About his dismissal from the army Schwarzenegger recalls that the officer told him with a smile:
Since your presence here is a certain danger to others, we decided to satisfy your report and release you early. We don't need you to continue destroying our tanks.
Arnold's Dream
At 21, Arnold Schwarzenegger realized his long-standing dream: he moved to America. He lived here for a long time as an illegal immigrant. Village guy expected many difficulties, among which were even problems with speech (in Hollywood still long joke, that "harder muscles Schwarzenegger's only his emphasis").
Over time, an ambitious bodybuilder managed to improve his life, and about that period, the famous actor recalled:
I almost did not know the language. I couldn't listen to the news. I couldn't read the papers. I was left with no money at all. It was the hardest time of my life.
Terminator with humor
Focusing on his magical muscles, Arnold Schwarzenegger managed to build a career in film. However, his first roles did not bring anything but disappointment. His gaming debut — "Hercules in new York"-the movie star is still ashamed. And after the movie "Stay hungry", he read in the Newspapers that his acting is similar to the behaviour of the horse.
Accustomed to defeat Schwarzenegger like the reviews were a great incentive:
he went to take acting lessons
The further career of Schwarzenegger in Hollywood is well known: the Terminator movie became its top. The fateful role went to the bodybuilder, after she refused Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone. For Schwarzenegger, it was a perfect job:
first, his character spoke in the film in just 18 scenes, and secondly, he could demonstrate his excellent physical training.
Governor Of California
Schwarzenegger was first elected in 2003. At the same time, there were always many contradictions in his political views: he opposed the legalization of same-sex marriages, but for the legalization of marijuana ("for medical purposes"), did not believe in global warming, but supported the signing of the "Kyoto Protocol", believed that abortion should be banned, but was a supporter of the death penalty.
Although Arnold's rating declined over time, he was re-elected for a second term in 2006. In 2011, the powers of Arnold Schwarzenegger ended. Under the California Constitution, he could not run for a third term.
Schwarzenegger returned to work in the cinema, but he is still remembered today as in 1977, he said that he would become President of the United States:)
