I haven't met him. I hope Basile will introduce me to him one day. I want to show Arnold some ironmeister photoshops.
-
We have a strong platonic business partnership.
-
Yes.
Spoke a couple of times with him on the phone, and I met him once or twice at the Arnold, backstage (once with Maria). He was all smiles and pleasant. When I told him I worked at MuscleMag, he said something like, "Oh, you work for Robert kennedy! We're good friends!"
Friendly dude. But we didn't chat much as there were hordes of people clamoring for his time, obviously.
-
Someday...
-
P.S. One of the times, Franco was also milling around. SMALL dude. Seriously, the guy was not only short, but also TINY. Like, zero muscular size.

Back in the day, I was with my supermodel girlfriend, redocrating my west coast mansion.
Anyways long story short I told him how my girl is sick of blowing my 10 inch cock in my ferrari so I made an order for first civilian hummer.
The bastard was competitive in those days and somehow jumped ahead of me on the order sheet, what a fucking kuntie move that was.
-
I wonder if Stallone and Arnold sit around asking each other "Have you ever met a Getbigger?"

The wife and I were on vacation in LA / Beverly hills and he passed next to us with his security detail.. walked into a suit shop.. he smiled and was cordial when we said hi..
Regret we didn't ask if we could of taken a picture with him..
Nobody was around.. we felt intimidated due to all the security around him..
He was still the governor of California when we saw him..

-
No.
-
Many times. Not a single picture.
-
not Arnold but met Lou, got a pic with him for free and had a 15 minute conversation with him about Edmonton
-
I have his signature on the bottom of my worthless BA degree :-\
-
no interest.
-
Met him when I worked on the movie "Raw Deal" with him. Even worked out at Gold's in Wilmington, NC at the same time he was working out where it was filmed at Dino DeLaurentis studio (at the time) anyway.
Was always super friendly to the crew and other actors. almost like he was running for office ;D
Good guy and was fairly intense during his workouts as well.

A few hand shakes at the Arnold over the last 20 years. But a few years ago on the Sunday of the Arnold Weekend we were at the Easton Town Center in Columbus and he came walking out of a girls clothing store with a couple young girls(assuming his daughters) and some poor schmuck carrying a ton of bags. There was security about every 20 foot with in 200 foot circumference of him. He seen my buddy wearing his Arnold Classic Tee Shirt from Saturday then walked up to us shook our hands and asked if we had fun at the Classic. we chatted for 30 seconds then he was whisked off by security.
My wife came out of the store she was in and told us the lady in there told her she heard Arnold was at the mall. We both laughed and said yep he is and he just shook our hands. My wife called bullshit til someone else came by who had seen it and said that was pretty cool meeting Arnold huh?
Was kind of a cool thing, but I don't get start struck like some people do!

Arnold used to host a cigar night once a month when he was in town at his restaurant, Schatzi's on Main in Venice/Santa Monica where you could meet him and hang out, but it cost like $135 bucks a person or something. I didn't have the scratch to pony up for the cigar night meal deal, but I knew you could just go hang out at the bar for free and it spilled into the bar after the meal. So I went there with a friend and hung out. Artie Zeller was there telling his jokes like he always apparently did. Toward the time Arnold was leaving he walked right by me and my friend and turned and shook our hands and said warmly "okay, I'll see you guys later" like he knew us. I was like "okay, see you later." The rest of the hangers on who were similarly exploiting the loophole turned and looked at me like somehow I personally knew Arnold. I found it pretty funny.
Artie Zeller's two jokes that I can remember: One Q: what tastes good on pie but not on pussy? A: crust. Two, Q: the eagle is the bird of freedom, the dove is the bird of peace, but what is the bird of love? A: the swallow.
Yuk yuk yuk.

I attended cigar night many times. Never One, you and I most likely know each other.

Or at least sat at different tables at the Firehouse at the same time!

Haha! That's the truth. I must have ordered the bodybuilder breakfast w/chicken breast over 200 times. It was cheap- those days are long gone.

Thanks for the stories guys, good stuff!

Lies!!! ;)

Its from the early nineties hes posted it before.

Arnold once met me. He said my arms are impressive, but that came off kind of creepy so I kept on walking...
-
Arnold visited the prison I was serving my sentence at in 1975. Big dude. All the way big dude.
-
.. It was 1969' or 70'... I was a 16 year old kid from Nor. Cal. visiting family in the L.A. area.. I was already hooked on bodybuilding and bought all the magazines... I bought a day pass at Gold's Venice and was in awe that Saturday as within the space of an afternoon I saw Frank Richard, Zabo Kosewski, Franco Columbu, Frank Zane, Eddie Giuliani and Arnold himself...
I was sitting at a distance watching Arnold and Franco train, when suddenly Arnold says to me; 'excuse me - but was that your sister who came by the gym earlier? .. ' to which I replied .. 'no, I do not have a sister, and I am just down visiting for the day'... Then Arnold replied .. 'because you really resemble that girl and I thought you might have been her brother' .. Arnold then said.. 'She was a good looking girl!'.. Ha ha - I'll never forget that..
I guess Arnold was all about the pussy in those days and was always scheming even during his workout...
All the champs were really friendly and I got their autographs on a slip of paper that I still have to this day...

Why would u want to bother him? Pic taking/autographs etc is the most bitch beta behavior ever

I'm sick of this 20 dollar bullshit.
Most dudes get money through the back door,(pardon my pun).
He chooses to be upfront and gather money honestly.

^^
He went OFF supplements completely after the mid 1980's...

I slipped my hands down my pants and then fondled Arnie's Tupperware Chicken while his back was turned at the Olympia Expo.
When taking a picture, he has a "Ten Second Rule" meaning you hand him the $20 and then have ten seconds to give your camera to a friend and hit the perfect pose withThe Governer. Take too long or your camera messes up, he turns his back and disappears into the crowd.
:)
-
Yes, he's 5'7 IRL

Really.. were you the guy that asked for a kiss?
-
He gave me a medal of participation at the 2003 Special Olympics when it was held here.
I wasn't competing, think he just took pity on me cos I was fat at the time.

Ah those buckwheat pancakes too. I beleive the last KooKooRoo is also now closed. I truly shed a tear that day I heard.

Yeah, thanks.
What he was left with was ZERO.
You'd think, him having been quite strong in his day, he'd retain a degree of at least thickness, but nope. Short, small and frail.
Looked like total mongoose shit. And this was about 15 years ago, to boot.
-
Met him twice at the Arnold classic. The last time he had a female BB friend of mine get up on the table at a sports bar and strike a few poses for him and Ralph M. He was cool as can be. Took care of our food and drink tab.

What do you expect? Franco is a child. :D

I was the woman who got the kiss. I haven't washed my face or snatch since.

Without the finishing 2%, we should still see a 98% Franco.

never actually met him but back in 1979 he came to olympus gym in jersey to do a meet and greet type of thing. place was so crowded i couldnt even get 10ft from him, it was cool just seeing him live though even though i never got close enough to say hello.he wasnt as big as i was expecting him to be though,i was young and i thought i was gonna see some super huge guy walk thru the door,he was slimmer than usuall. thing i noticed though was his hands where super huge,looked liked a neanderthol type of hand.i couldnt drive back then and got ride from my buddy/training partner and his mom
-
That was probably one of his slimmest periods.
I saw him in 2003 at t3 premier, was solid, chest huge and bi's popping through suit jacket. What struck me was the size of his head, literally looked like you could break planks of wood over it without phasing.

In the late 1980's, when I was in my early 20s, I had a 2nd job as an instructor at a health club in NYC, where Arnold would sometimes train when he was in town.
I'm not the type who bothers celebs, but, this was Arnold. So, one day, while he was squatting, I decided to ask him a question. The one I came up with was, "Ever have any knee problems from all the squatting?" He said he didn't, but he didn't go heavy, anymore. I remember him looking me straight in the eye, and my thinking, "Oh, sh!t, I'm talking to Arnold!"
I'd say I crossed path with him about 10 times. Can I say a bad word about him? No.
