“Been Like This for 40-Years”: Amidst Elon Musk’s Twitter Shenanigans, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Chief Staff Reveals a Sad Reality About Bodybuilding Legend’s Life

Although Arnold Schwarzenegger has lived a life of glory, every star realizes the mortality of their fame at some point. With media and paparazzi constantly surveilling, no one escapes their hawk-like yes. However, once fame goes, so does the attention. Arnold’s chief staff elaborated on this over a Twitter thread.

Since the entire fiasco surrounding Elon Musk and issues surrounding privacy, chief-of-staff Daniel Ketchell shone some light on this. He also spoke about how the former bodybuilder felt about being constantly surrounded by the press.

Arnold Schwarzenegger provided a disappointing perspective

While Twitter was divided over moderation and verification difficulties, Ketchell raised an intriguing point. During his political career, he mentioned Arnold’s case in addressing Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and the promise of free speech. Twitter was new at the time, and the privacy of government employees was a significant problem. As a result, tweeting live from the events may be risky. Arnold’s team, on the other hand, opted to go ahead.

When Ketchell spoke to Arnold back then, he got a perspective-changing answer. Arnold expressed his gratitude that the media and press continue to cover him. Back then, the star was constantly pursued by paparazzi, who followed his every move. But Arnold perceived it differently.

Ketchell recalled the Governator’s statement and tweeted, “He said it’s been like this for 40 years, and he owes his career to the press and fans that care enough to post about him”. This helped Ketchell realize that public figures should probably keep this perspective in mind while dealing with the press. With respect to Elon Musk, the chief of staff strongly believed that this perspective applied to him.

For Schwarzenegger, fame and responsibilities go together

As a celebrity, the Austrian Oak has always ensured giving back to a society that blessed him with fame and fortune. Once in an interview with WWE star Triple H, the star sat down to talk about the responsibility that comes with fame.

The Governator posed the question – What does one do with fame? He encouraged the use of power and influence for noble deeds.

Seeing how the legend has influenced many fans to stay fit and healthy over the years, it’s safe to say that he practices what he preaches.
