Bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped into acting for the first time in 1969. However, he would focus exclusively on his bodybuilding career for the next six years, winning six Mr. Olympia titles. However, a bizarre scene in his debut film kicked off something that turned into a record no other actor can match. In fact, before appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2022, even the 75-year-old was clueless.

While Arnold Schwarzenegger took a hiatus from acting for a few years, he never went away from the public spotlight. This year, Schwarzenegger’s FUBAR became one of Netflix’s biggest shows of the year. However, while talking about his career with Kimmel in 2022, the host informed him about something “interesting.” He then showed Arnold Schwarzenegger some footage that contributed to the bizarre record.

“A fact about you that I think is interesting,” said Kimmel. “I’m not sure if you’re even aware of,” added the talk show host. Schwarzenegger seemed like he had no clue what the 55-year-old was talking about. “This is something I read, and we put together a visual presentation,” he said before revealing what the record was.

In his films, Arnold Schwarzenegger has “punched uh more animals than any other actor,” said Kimmel. The statement drew laughter from the audience and Arnie. Kimmel then played scenes of Arnie fighting animals from his debut film, Hercules in New York, to Conan the DestroyerTrue Lies, and more. However, the owner of the record said no animals were harmed. “The key thing is to know that we don’t ever touch an animal, or it is kind of a fake animal,” said the actor, who loves animals.

Arnie’s ever-growing pet family

Arnold Schwarzenegger has punched bears, camels, dogs, and reindeer in his films. However, in reality, the bodybuilding legend is an animal lover. In fact, Schwarzenegger has many pets at home. However, these are not expensive breeds of animals that celebrities keep as pets. Most of Arnie’s animals are adopted.
