From accidents on set to tussles with the director of the film, the star has been through it all. So what was one of the most controversial stories for Arnold? So much so, that he couldn’t reveal it on air?

In a candid conversation with David Letterman in a 1984 interview, Schwarzenegger had the audience’s alert eyes and ears as he spilled some secrets about his Conan the Destroyer co-star – Grace Jones. Speaking about shooting with the supermodel, why did the former bodybuilder hold himself back from revealing too much? Let’s find out!

Arnold Schwarzenegger declined to talk about his co-star on air

Sitting across from David Letterman, Schwarzenegger smiled as he complimented the success of his films. The duo instantly chatted about Conan’s sequels and how things would look like after the series’ success. However, Letterman quickly informed that his co-star from Conan the Destroyer, Grace Jones, had been on the show previously. Schwarzenegger immediately revealed that Jones had been more than difficult to control on set.

The star strictly held himself back from revealing too much. When Letterman prompted him to share more stories, Schwarzenegger had a cheeky response, “Well, first of all, most of the things I cannot say on air that happened because she’s too wild”. These stories involved Jones’ insane antics that Schwarzenegger had either witnessed or was a part of.
