One of them is seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ohanian, who recently listened to the audiobook version of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2012 autobiography, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, shared his opinion about the same.

Alexis, an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, tweeted, “Finally got around to listening to this — I’m disappointed it took me so long, my friend, @Schwarzenegger (Arnold Schwarzenegger) — you have a genuinely AMAZING life story.” 

The tweet included a screenshot of the audiobook. While he felt disappointed with himself, Ohanian couldn’t help but admire Arnold Schwarzenegger’s life story. 

The autobiography chronicles Schwarzenegger’s life from his childhood to his tenure as the Governor of California. Stephen Lang narrated the audiobook version of the 656-page book, co-written by Schwarzenegger and renowned author Peter Petre.
