Arnold Schwarzenegger carried by the Giant 

Apart from ‘The Terminator’ films, ‘Conan The Barbarian’ also gained enough momentum all across the planet. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played the role of Conan, was a household name by then. His co-actors, Andre the Giant and Wilt Chamberlain, also took part in the 1984 follow-up movie. 

In 2013, a Reddit user shared an inside story about the three. According to the post, the WWE Giant always paid for his meals regardless of anything. Once the three of them were dining together and Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to pay for the food. Suddenly, he found himself being lifted by Andre, who then carried him to a car. 

To everyone’s surprise, the story turned out to be true. The iconic bodybuilder confirmed it himself by hopping into the comment section just below the post. Furthermore, he added another little detail about Wilt, who happened to never pay for the meals. 

I can confirm this story is basically true,” commented the former governor of California. “It is missing Wilt Chamberlain’s involvement, which was never paying and then acting like he had planned to pay this time, and helping Andre carry me all the way outside to drop me on a car.”

In addition, Arnold also shared this discussion on his Twitter and called it “one of my(Arnold’s) favorite stories.” This incident proved the fact that Andre the Giant is not the one to mess with.
