Arnold Schwarzenegger orders three statues of himself as Mr Olympia
« on: September 27, 2011, 03:15:54 PM »
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/guy-commissions-statues-of-himself.html



The 64-year-old, who was named Mr Universe aged 20, has ordered three bronze creations that will stand eight foot high and weigh 580lb each.

One is destined for the recently-opened Schwarzenegger museum in his childhood home of Thal, Austria.

Another will be shipped to Columbus, Ohio, where the annual Arnold Fitness Weekend is held.

The actor will keep the third one, and is considering commissioning further likenesses.

He said he chose a bodybuilding pose because that's what launched his career in the United States.

Ha! It's amazing how scandalous events fade into oblivion with the passing of time. I'm glad he's back doing what he does best: self admiration  ;D

Haha, yes, the statue also looks a little spilled-over, maybe he could have Fat Panda lay out a diet plan.

Right when we got married, I suggested to my wife that we put a bronze statue of me in contest shape right in the center of our drive way, naturally she rejected the idea, but her father very much liked the idea and would keep bringing it up!!!  Its too bad - woulda been awesome!  ;D

You have to admit that Arnold dresses well. Wonder why he didn't order another copy for Maria?
