Arnold Schwarzenegger earned unparalleled fame with his prolific career over the last five decades. Arnie earned a massive fan following as an iconic bodybuilder, a Hollywood action superstar, and the governor of California. While many applaud Arnie for his achievements and his service to people, the name Schwarzenegger is not completely dissociated from negative remarks.

Recently, BAFTA award-winning actress Miriam Margolyes wrote about the Terminator actor’s rude behavior on the sets of the 1999 film End of Days in her new memoir.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is respected across the globe for his massive contributions to sports, cinema, and politics. While bodybuilders revere him for providing Arnold Classic’s stage to compete, Hollywood is grateful to Arnie for bringing the action genre onto the big screens. However, his 1999 co-star, Margolyes, is not fond of Arnie.

The Harry Potter actress detailed the 24-year-ago incident in her new memoir, ‘Oh Miriam! Stories from an Extraordinary Life,’ as per Insider. In it, she confessed to having passed the wind first on the sets while shooting for the End of Days. However, the 82-year-old actress ensured that “In the anxiety of our rehearsals, I allowed a medium-strength fart to escape. The sound effect was inevitable but there was no odourama, I assure you,” Margolyes writes. “Arnie, however, leapt upon my transgression with frenzy,” she wrote, adding that the Governator constantly spoke about it, reflecting his disgust.

The veteran actress even revealed that “Arnie had me pinned under him, utterly at his mercy. It was then he delivered the coup de grâce (or should I say, coup de disgrâce?)” while shooting a killing scene on the sets. The actress, who shined in the role of Mabel, further added, “He did it deliberately because he didn’t like me, had no respect for me, and knew he could get away with it.” It wasn’t the first time she spoke ill of the $450 million-worth actor.

Despite being a fan favorite, Schwarzenegger is not immune to criticism, and Margolyes publicly confessed her dislike for the action star. Before adding the distasteful incident to her memoir, the British-Australian actress said, “Arnold Schwarzenegger is a pig of a man,” to The Guardian.

The 76-year-old superstar has acted in over 40 films and has received some compliments from co-stars as well. Brigitte Nielsen, his ‘Red Sonja’ co-star, has good things to say about Arnie. “Arnold is a great guy. He made me feel very safe because he was a superstar at the time. He still is,” she once said.
