In the world of cinema, everyone knows that the main hero often personifies strength, both physically and emotionally. This was exactly the case in Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s movie ‘Twins’ which was released back in 1988. Along with Danny DeVito, ‘Arnie’ played the role of Julius Benedict, a genetically enhanced superior twin, whereas DeVito plays Vincent Benedict, who is the complete opposite of Julius in terms of personality and appearance.

In a fan-favorite scene from the movie, Arnold lifted a Cadillac with DeVito inside, setting off the car’s theft alarm. The Cadillac was worth $7593. The scene instantly created hype among the fans. In his recent edition of the daily newsletter, Pump Club, Schwarzenegger cleared a doubt of a fan who asked for a few details about the car scene.

During an episode of the Jimmy Kimmel Show, DeVito admitted that he once mixed a little something in Schwarzenegger’s cigar to have fun with him. DeVito explained that during the shooting of ‘Twins,’ there was a specific day that was not very busy. So the duo made plans of smoking cigars in DeVito’s trailer before the shoot.

Continuing with the story, he explained that Arnold stood still, intoxicated due to marijuana until the director had to remind him of his line.
