Arnold Schwarzenegger?is arguably a legend in three different fields, as he found immense success in?bodybuilding, cinema, and politics. The bodybuilding and fitness icon released a book that condenses his life experiences to motivate readers. Schwarzenegger appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to commemorate and promote his book?Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life.?However, during their conversation, things took an interesting turn.

Jimmy Kimmel asked Arnold Schwarzenegger a question about his Celebrity Apprentice rival, Donald Trump. Since Schwarzenegger won the Olympia seven times and is a fitness icon at 76, Kimmel asked Arnie about the former president’s weight.

Kimmel said the former POTUS, Donald Trump,?“listed his weight at 215 pounds.”?The talk show host expressed that he wanted to ask the 76-year-old former bodybuilding champion a question because of his knowledge and experience. The 55-year-old called Arnie?“the foremost expert on the male physique”?and asked,?“When you size him up, what would you guess that man weighs?”

Donald Trump has always been sensitive about his height and weight. According to the Washington Post, the former president reported he stood at 6’2” and weighed 236 lbs in 2016. Such stats would put Trump quite close to Arnie during his bodybuilding prime. Currently, the former president lists his weight at 215 pounds, yet there is barely any visual change in his appearance.

Schwarzenegger admitted he doesn’t know how?“much he weighs.”?However, he didn’t miss the opportunity to throw a veiled insult at his rival. “I can tell you one thing… If you would ask me what should you do for fitness. I would just say run around yourself three times. You’re gonna be in great great shape,”?said the bodybuilding icon. Schwarzenegger’s jibe made Kimmel and everyone in attendance burst out with laughter and cheers. However, the jokes didn’t stop as Kimmel pressed on.
