After their marriage, both Schwarzenegger and Shriver couldn’t take out a lot of time from their schedules. Therefore, when the star was shooting for Predator in Mexico, the journalist accompanied him for a couple of days. Following a busy day of running around the set, they settled in with a romantic dinner and planned on a round of wine. This is where things went wrong.
What was meant to be a romantic honeymoon turned into a scene from a horror movie. When Shriver excused herself to the bathroom, she saw a big group of frogs hanging off of the shower curtain. Schwarzenegger mentioned how his then-wife was famously afraid of critters like spiders and bees, and frogs fit the bill.

The sight alone was enough to be terrified for the journalist. The former bodybuilder wrote, “I heard loud screams coming from the bathroom, like in a horror movie”. Turns out, the prank was a deliberate joint effort of stunt coordinator Joel Kramer and his team. This was payback for when Arnie put a bunch of spiders and snakes in the coordinator’s shirt and bag respectively. The star has always been a prankster and once even tried scaring his fans as a joke.
