One of the all time greatest BB and one of my favorites.

He is great and 1 of my favorites, but he looks like a 13 year old with muscles in the first pic. SO DAMN SHORT. :D

Awesome balanced physique, the only thing he lacked was height.
Brilliant shot.

Nearly perfect

Really? I thought that was his most popular pic. It really epitomized his nickname. Fucking SICK picture though... he didn't have height, but oh well. You can't win 'em all. If I were his height and looked like that, I wouldn't be complaining lol
-
Should've won an O. :'(
-
I didn't know there was a topic on this already. I just made one in the history section oh well. It's about time Danny got in.
One of my personal all time favorites like mentioned Danny had it all except for size. The 81 O was his hands down.

What's funny is people will believe that but yet deny or completely dismiss that Arnold was in fact a homosexual prostitute/escort whatever you want to call it in his early days. I mean all the gay for pay shit that went on in the last 20 years but somehow never went on during the 60s, the guys back then were much more honest and pure! ::)

I have no problem beleiving that Arnold sold his asshole to schmoes..He would do anything to win and if that meant cozying up to gay doctors for drugs , having sugar daddys to pay his way then shit Arnold would of not thought twice about it..
I beleive Arnold has in fact admitted to this sort of stuff already.

Don't say those bastardly things to any Arnold fans. lol.

Don't you think at least one fag he allegedly was with would have come forward by now? He is where he is because of his ability to visualize his goals without any possibility of failure, extreme discipline and drive, and yes, used his ability to make contacts with influential people. I don't believe he had sex with gays. It would be widely known and people would have admitted it by now. He is no Chris Duffy, Bob Birdsong or Kai Greene.

Arnold has admitted to performing for homosexuals..this takes nothing away from him being the greatest ever..he did what was needed to be the best.
Rick Wayne has said of Arnold that one time Arnold asked him if he beleived that if a man really wanted somthing , anything do you think he could get it?Rick said no because somethings are out of your control to which Arnold said , then if he thinks that he will never be great , I will do anything to be the best..
Wayne said Arnolds reply sent chills down his spine , how he said it , wasnt in a normal tone..
Arnold would do anything and he did to be the best..he was and is no saint..
Some of us might think it immoral or depraved but to Arnold it was just another stepping stone in his road to greatness..
Just like in business , to get to the top you must be ruthless and stand on alot of toes pissing alot of people off , Arnold took this outlook on everything he did , he used alot of people..gays are just one of those groups..
He is still the greatest in my eyes though , he took chances and they didnt always pay off but he never gave up , ever..it was more than just being driven or focused he was ruthless also.

I can assure you that Arnold has never admitted in print that he had sex with a homosexual. Did he befriend them and possibly lead them on to believe they could have a chance with him... I'm sure he did. I know how ruthless Arnold can be. My father knew Joe Weider well and knew Arnold. In 1977, when I was 14 I met Arnold at the Mr. Olympia, which he was promoting. He invited me backstage and introduced me to Zane, Robbie. Same thing in 78. Then in 79, Arnold wanted my dad to invest in a film that was going to be about the benefits of weight training in prison but my dad didn't do it. So at the 79, olympia I went backstage like the 2 previous years,. Arnold sees me, pretends he doesn't know me and starts screaming "What the hell are you doing back here?Get out of here. You think you can just walk back here whenever you feel like it." So I got traumatized by my idol. Still, I doubt he screwed any gays. He knew that it could come back to haunt him one day. When he was running for governor, one of his opponents would have found about that shit, if it had happened and used it as a smear tactic.

I can just here him now saying that. Arnold did possess a sense of greatness, poise, and charm that one can see from early videos. There was one posted on the G & O board, from 1977, it shows how charismatic he was. And the sense of his greatness showed.

Sorry by performing I didnt mean sex..he has addmitted to posing and has posed nude in gay mags.
The "Mr Big" of there drug scene was a homosexual Doctor..im pretty sure Arnold never payed for any of those drugs yet got pricked in the ass by this guy many times..
Theres already lots of dirt out there on Arnold..about how he treated females and racist comments etc.He just brushes it off as being a young dumb arrogant BB..so pretty much spitting on the area that got him started to greatness.Id bet my houses on it that Arnold was very popular with his gay "friends" doesnt make him gay though , he just used them.

Yes, i would have to agree with you here.

Guys who could pay him good money probably had/have something to lose by coming forward, or don't feel the need to implicate him or are dead, unlike the women later. I have NO doubt he was in the gay environment extensively including contact, as were most BBs. Beginning with his gay european businessman friend and possibly Weider. These guys along with Gold helped him big-time in mentoring him to the value of real estate investing and other pursuits. I believe that included contact-all the many episodes with women, most of which were far more recent, really haven't hurt him, plus obviously he wasn't disuaded by what might happen to his rep, based on these situations with women.
The price i heard in 70s in NY was $500-huge especially in 1970s dollars. I remember seeing his nude color shots in a gay mag around 1978; probably Blue Boy. He had no hesitation to do it and i don't fault him for it, especially factoring in the mood of those times, which was more relaxed than no, pre-AIDS. He didn't need the money as much as some others IMO, thus he could pick and choose the situations a little more than most, and like most BBs who weren't in to it, keep it light with mostly body worship,etc.
I'm not going to get carried away like some and say that the gay4pay was part of some master plan for success; it was just for extra money, just like the many projects he tried to create in the late 70s after retiring but before the movies kicked in. I'll also not say he was a great businessman, because most of his revenue has come from movies-that's not being a great businessman. Holding and buying real estate takes more acumen, but again he was guided by others and it doesn't take great business chops to buy and hold real estate.

I can't understand why midgets start bodybuilding. They look like freaks, and no amount of muscle will make them look like real men. They should stick to Jockeying and getting tossed at bars.

Interesting..but basically all speculation. If you don't think someone with knowledge of him doing that wouldn't have come forward, written a book, done at least one TV interview. It would have been worth a lot of money. Again, without any real evidence, I see no reason to believe Arnold had gay sex. Rumors and innuendo are way different than facts. For several years, Arnold has been one of the most famous people on the planet. Someone credible would have unearthed some evidence of this stuff. As far as groping some girls..no one cares. Normal male agressive behavior. Having sex with fags? That would be incredibly tarnishing to him and would definitely have cost him him chance to be governor. If his opponents could have found that, they wouldn't have hesiated to use it against him. And by the way this schoolboy thing with Padilla is really ridiculous. Why people feel the need to come up with this nonsense is beyond me. We all know that story was the product of Jimmy Thompson's fertile imagination.

Actually it's mostly speculation so you're not stating anything new. The only sure thing is that he's got a demonstrated history as a charmer, which as is the case with many charmers, equates to equal parts charisma and jackass.
HOWEVER, anecdotally the evidence leans HEAVILY towards the realities discussed here, up to and including at least 15 women being harrassed including a BBC reporter not that many years ago.
If you're insane and arrogant enough to harrass BBC reporters, all the rest of what's been discussed here, especially when a relative unknown in the late 60s and early 70s, is nothing in comparison. It defeats the notion that he was calculated enough to avoid risks and adverse publicity.
The theory that there's no truth simply because no one came forward , when in fact there may be many reasons for it...now THERE's a reach.

He is EXACTLY like a shorter version of Arnold. great physique

Actually Danny had less flaws than Arnold. One of THE least flawed BBs in history, coupled with excellent size and aesthetics-Padilla's a textbook example of BB show politics, given the fact the he never won the Olympia while undeserving BBs like Columbu did. That's why he and others retired. He talks about this quite openly on his site and elsewhere.

AWSOME !!!
