Arnold Schwarzenegger recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and shared some amusing anecdotes about his grandchildren and their antics on his farm. He affectionately revealed that his grandchildren, Lyla and Eloise, lovingly call him “Opa,” which is German for grandpa. He expressed his joy in spending time with them, where they often visit him with their parents, Katherine and Chris Pratt. Together, they enjoy playing with the animals on Schwarzenegger’s farm, including miniature donkeys and pigs.

Arnie painted a vivid picture of their frequent family gatherings. He highlighted the joyous moments spent with the kids and the family’s menagerie of animals. From riding miniature donkeys to contemplating pig rides (a firm “no” from Arnie), their escapades sounded like a scene straight out of a heartfelt family tale. Amidst the laughter, Arnold Schwarzenegger dropped a humorous bombshell–his grandchildren, as adorable as they are, have an aversion to a particular chore. He says, “The only thing is, is that they are a little spoiled.”

When the action star asked his grandkids for their help in shoveling manure, a unanimous “no“ echoed through the barn. However, Chris, Katherine’s husband, stepped in to defend the kids. “Chris, right away, said, no, no. They are not brought up to do that,” stated Schwarzenegger. The statement showcased a playful exchange between the family members.

Moving forward with Jimmy Fallon and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s conversation- Fallon, still riding the wave of amusement, praised the star’s Netflix documentary. He expressed a newfound admiration for the Hollywood icon’s unexpected role as a farmer. The host was curious about the size of Arnie’s animal kingdom, prompting a detailed response.

He described the initial adjustment period between the dogs and the pig, Arnie chuckled about the entertaining challenges of fostering interspecies friendships. The morning routine of feeding the animals at 5:30 AM showcased the bodybuilding icon’s commitment to his furry and not-so-furry friends.
