So much so that his body was hailed as the epitome of the human physique, yet it was not something the former athlete was wholeheartedly proud of. Similar to his prior revelation of not being satisfied with his body despite being a champion, Arnie reiterated his feelings in a recent interview with CNN. 

The interview featured CNN host Chris Wallace and the former athlete chatting on multiple topics about the latter’s career and life. A particular question directed at his aging took Arnie back to the confession about his struggle with age and senescence.

That was not all. Hinting at his bodybuilding career, he was enquired if he still tried one of those classic poses. This urged Arnie to make a heart-wrenching statement. “Yes, but only in the bathroom because sometimes it makes me cry,” the former athlete shared.
