Growing up as a child, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger had posters of “half-naked men covered in oil” on his bedroom walls which baffled his mother who did not understand his obsession with bodybuilding.
The actor—turned—politician, who shot to fame by winning the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding title a record seven times and appearing in the documentary ‘Pumping Iron’ used to put posters of his muscle—bound heroes up in his bedroom, much to the amusement of his parents, New York Daily News reported.
“My mother thought there was something wrong with me when she came into my room and saw pictures on my walls of half—naked men covered in oil. My mother said, ‘Shouldn’t there be pictures of girls on your walls?’ My parents thought I was a little wacky,” Schwarzenegger said.
The 62—year—old star, who has been the Governor of California since 2003 also admitted that the thing that gets him most excited is the “United States of America” and that his favourite sound in the world is “water".
