Over the years, he has met a lot of people that he admires in life. Schwarzenegger posted the responses to some of the frequently asked questions on Reddit. In his daily newsletter, ‘Arnold’s Pump Club,’ he revealed in the Q&A section about his take on the famous quote, “Never Meet Your Heroes.” 

Arnold Schwarzenegger gives two cents on the famous phrase

Growing up, Arnold has always admired the likes of Reg Park, and Muhammad Ali. During the recent edition of his daily newsletter, ‘Arnold’s Pump Club,’ Schwarzenegger was asked by a fan, “What do you think of the phrase “Never meet your heroes.”” Replying to this, Schwarzenegger stated that according to him, this phrase is utter nonsense. “It’s terrible. I’ve met so many of my heroes. Gorbachev, Mandela, Reg Park, Muhammad Ali. I could go on and on and on. I cherish those moments. I get inspired by those people. Whoever came up with that phrase was a bitter, unrealistic person who made the mistake of thinking they were perfect.”

Schwarzenegger explained further that ‘beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.’ He emphasized the fact that no human is perfect. Blaming your heroes, or pointing fingers at them for their flaws is not justified according to Schwarzenegger.
