Austrian Oak, Arnold Schwarzenegger has led an incredibly fascinating and versatile life. However, what makes his story so interesting is that he shared it with some of the most amazing people of his time and former US President George H. W. Bush was one of them. They shared a good time, but there was this one moment that didn’t go well for the former first lady, Barbara Bush.

Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s friendship with the Bush family goes back to the days when he was just known as the bodybuilding legend. During the 90s, Arnold and Bush spent a lot of time together. Subsequently, when he ran for governor, the former president was the foremost supporter of his campaign.
