And the drug use whilst dieting story makes you wonder what else is fact or fiction, event or fabricated, truth or lie.
Thats the thing with Arnold, bigger than life, smoke and mirrors, can create and re-create himself, tells people what he wants them to know, and what they wanna hear when it suits him.
Thats what made him big, not too many morals, able to look at both faces in the mirror. Thats what it takes in this sport, and especially in Hollywood.
Think about it, how many scandals or negative headlines have we seen on Arnie? If theres any, it quickly gets forgotten or swept under the carpet. He uses his charm and the accent which hes made sure not to lose, to hone and refine, as it gets him sympathy and the whole foreigner with accent thing is harmless, shame. Some people associate a foreign accent with lack of intellegence too(which Arnold has bucket-loads of), and let their guard down.
Even now as governor, the media and talk-shows still every time they mention him, have to make fun of his accent and his bbing past as well as his action movies. Reagan and Ventura never had that. But thats the persona Arnold wants to portray, let your guard down, make fun of me(behind my back), next thing you know, I'm the President of the worlds biggest Superpower nation.
The man knows what hes doing, and the sky is the limit for him
