Even back in 1992, Arnold’s co-star Dyan Cannon vouched for his ‘greatness’. As Arnold graced Oprah Winfrey’s famous talk show to promote his movie, his colleague soon joined in the conversation and shared some interesting facts about Schwarzenegger.

Expressing herself, Dyan said, “only he does encompasses the quality of manhood.” Adding more, she said, “He knows and practices sensitivity and vulnerability, and more men should pay attention to that because it’s rare. I think those are the qualities that put together being strong and vulnerable.”
Oprah, too, acknowledged what she said. As the actress continued with her praise, the Terminator star was seen listening to the two ladies with a shy smile on his face. Like a true gentleman, Arnold did not interrupt the conversation. Though the audience, much like Oprah, cheered in as they saw their favorite actor being praised.
