“Now You Are Crying?”: Arnold Schwarzenegger Punished Son’s Arrogance by Leaving Him Terrified To Go Into His Room

Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the names that resonates with the sport of bodybuilding. His contribution and accolades in the realm of the sport have etched his name forever as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The multi-talented figure, who has managed to pull out three extraordinarily successful careers as a bodybuilder, an actor, and a politician, is also known for something he thinks he is the best at. 

Schwarzenegger, despite having excelled in so many fields, still considers being a father and spending time with his family as one of his favorite pastimes. And well, there have been several instances where he is a standing testament to being a great father. In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, he revealed one of the tough moments when he was forced to punish his son, Patrick, leaving him petrified.

Arnold Schwarzenegger terrified Patrick Schwarzenegger with his punishment

The official YouTube page of Jimmy Kimmel, @JimmyKimmelLive, recently shared snippets from one of their episodes, where the legendary bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger was featured as the guest. As the interview progressed, he spoke about his days as a father and narrated an incident where he wanted to teach a lesson to Patrick Schwarzenegger.

As a kid, Patrick Schwarzenegger, as his father narrated, always kept the lights on, even when not in use. Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to teach him a lesson, first by talking about how he grew up in a place where electricity was scarce and he always had to turn the lights off. However, despite the story, as he walked into his son’s room, there was no impact, and the lights were still on.

So, he used his second way. He applied a peculiar trick and would pop out a bulb from the chandelier every time he saw it was on, and finally, as he popped the seventh bulb, that was when the lesson was taught. He said, “He was freaking out going alone into his room at night when it was dark. So I said, “Now you’re crying.” And ever since then, his son has never left the lights on. Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger has indeed managed to instill valuable lessons into his children, and they are still being followed by them to raise their own children.
