“Always Hated Blind Dates”: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Who Was Married for 25 Years, Shared His Preference on Dating Once

Arnold Schwarzenegger scripted several records as a bodybuilder, actor, and politician. He is known for his interpersonal skills and adds a punch of style and charisma in every role he undertakes. In an interview on the Tonight’s Show with Jay Leno, the Governator confirmed that he carried a style in his personal life as well.

Jay Leno, the infamous 90s-tv host and comedian, is The Terminator actor’s long-time friend. Among the varied topics that they touched upon, the most interesting was the one about the Austrian Oak’s dating preferences. Interestingly, Leno debunked his claim about blind dating, supporting it with a video.

“Did you ever go on a blind-dates?”, Leno asked. Moreover, he said, “I have a reason for asking this. I want you to think carefully.” Bold and unfazed, Schwarzenegger replied, “Thinking back, I always hated blind dates. I don’t think I ever went on a blind-date. No, no, no. It’s not my style.”

Upon disagreement, Jay Leno shared a video featuring his guest in the 70s with a blind date. The former candidly joked about how one can’t “erase” the past, referring to his cast presence in the movie, Eraser.  The flashback video from 1973 showed Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the company of his then-date. He talked about an American expression called “hanky panky” that he didn’t understand, despite living in the U.S. for five years already.

His Austrian roots coupled with the American spirit have rendered this man with uniqueness like no other!

Schwarzenegger held on to his originality

The Austrian Oak, who moved to the US over five decades ago, still has the slang. He also confessed he could speak perfect English, but stuck to Austria slang as he identified with it. Opening up on how it became his strength and identity, he said fans expect it from him.

“It’s now become such a big part of me, the accent, that people really enjoy it,” he said. His accent, which was once construed as his biggest drawback, became his trademark. This is a testimony to the magnitude of his greatness.
