Arnold Schwarzenegger dreamt of being a top bodybuilder from his earliest days. He had this passion engrained in him so deeply that all he thought of was bodybuilding and exercise when he was in his teenage years. This led to many bizarre incidents and hilarious anecdotes.

For instance, he revealed in his newly released documentary that his mother used to complain that her son had posters of bodybuilder men oiled up in his room; this was in stark contrast to his friends, who had photos of beautiful women, and made his mother think that Schwarzenegger was gay!

Nevertheless, The Terminator star never stopped working hard for his passion, and he kept exercising hard and eventually became one of the best bodybuilders in the world by winning multiple titles in Mr. Olympia and other championships. The documentary titled Arnold shows Schwarzenegger in a never before seen light, and his fans cherish this opportunity to see their idol for what he is.

Arnold Schwarzenegger recently released his three-part Netflix documentary titled Arnold, and in each episode, he recounts different aspects of his personal and professional career. The actor reveals how he began his career, what inspired him to become a better star, and how his father had a rigorous way of disciplining him.

The Austria-native actor claimed that as he grew older, he became aware that something was wrong in his childhood claiming,
“As I was getting older, and the more I read stuff; about the outside world, outside of Austria, the more I started feeling like, I don’t think that I was, brought up in the right place, there is something off here. Maybe I don’t belong to Austria, or maybe I belong to America; Why is that? and this would convince me that one day I have to be over there. I am in the wrong place; I gotta get out of here.”
In the first episode of his highly anticipated docuseries, Schwarzenegger also claims that when his mother saw his wall, which contained oiled-up posters of bulky bodybuilders, she wondered whether her son was gay.

The actor added that in his room, above his bedroom wall, he had big posters of Park and other bodybuilding legends, and his mom initially thought upon seeing the wall that maybe her son was gay.
