In the 90s, Arnie was a massive star. After the success of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, James Cameron wanted to make an action-comedy starring Arnold. However, Cameron knew Arnold didn’t dance. So when the legendary director sent Schwarzenegger the script for ‘True lies’ (1994), he labeled the tango scene as, “Your most dangerous stunt.”.

Arnold wasn’t one to back down from challenges. The action hero learned to tango in time for the movie. However, the 6’2, seven-time Mr. Olympia ended up stepping on Tia Carrere’s toes a few times during the shoot.
Arnold used to hire ballet teachers
Arnold didn’t become the most iconic bodybuilder simply by working hard. No one had done what the Terminator did. The champion bodybuilder saw posing as an art form, something that would give him the edge in competition. So the legend actually hired ballet teachers to help him improve his posing. 1977’s ‘Pumping Iron’, features a brief clip of Arnie mixing ballet with posing.

Arnold Schwarzenegger will probably never dance on the stage of DWTS. The former governor is 75, and it’s unlikely that he’ll turn dancing even with a pro like Daniella as his partner.
