Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big name in the history of several fields. He hadn’t just excelled in one dimension, but achieved success at all levels. First, Arnold became the greatest bodybuilder. Later, he moved on to become the biggest action hero in the world. Thereafter, he chose to serve the people and became the governor of California and did it successfully for nine years (2003-2011).

However, the interesting aspect here is that despite being a huge personality, it never adulterated his behavior toward people. Arnold has always remained true and down to earth. A few years back, Conor McGregor’s father, Tony McGregor, revealed the interaction he once had with the legend.
