Follow Us
Arnold Schwarzenegger is hardly scared of anything. He was brave enough to leave his country, Australia, and come to America to become a bodybuilding champion. The Austrian Oak achieved seven Mr. Olympia titles, and not only that, he learned a completely foreign language and also became a Hollywood star and the governor of California. So there is nothing that the champion cannot achieve or overcome. But even the greats have certain fears and Schwarzenegger is no different. Recently, he talked about his fear of snakes and how he even overcame that.
The late-night show with Stephen Colbert has an interesting segment called the Colbert Questionnaire where he was asked many questions, and that was when we get to know the answer to how he made Pythons his friend.

The Colbert Questionert is an interesting segment where the host asks the governor many questions about his life and fun trivia. There were a lot of things that the fans did not know, and new information was coming up all the time.
The very first question was pretty interesting because it was about his best sandwich. Then came the question about concerts, and he went to the Jaon Baez Show. Then came the question of the hour, where Colbert asked him, “What is the scariest animal?”

The Predator actor answered, “Probably snakes, but that’s why I play around with snakes s lot of times just to get rid of the fear.” Arnie also said, “At the Saturday at the party we had a huge giant python and it wrapped around me and I held it for half an hour until it felt a little constricting on my neck then I started unwrapping it.”
Colbert then asked the most sensible question as to why he had a Python at a party, and as usual, Arnie gave an answer that only he could give. He said that it was brought to entertain people, and to make people feel entertained, he had also brought lions and crocodiles previously. So his party is definitely larger than life.
He loves animals and is very familiar with them; however, he also once shared dangerous details about bringing an elephant and a tiger into his house.

The star owns a varying range of animals, including his famous bets, Lulu, which is a donkey gifted by his girlfriend, and Whiskey, which is a mini horse that initially belonged to Katherine Schwarzenegger, his firstborn. However, the bodybuilder does not only have cute animals, but he also has two dangerous animals that are not supposed to be kept at home.

Schwarzenegger pointed out, “I have had a lot of animals at my house. There is a non-profit retirement home for movie animals that pays for their care by bringing them to parties.” Funnily enough, he ultimately cracked his pillars when the tiger swam in his pool.
Of course, it is not easy to have wild animals inside your house, and it is obvious that something is about to go down. He recalled, “I’ve had an elephant at my house; it got scared and cracked one of my pillars. I’ve had a tiger; it swam in my pool and let me feed it an egg out of my hand, but when the egg ran out, I did not like the look I got.”
