Since the location was a remote jungle in Mexico, the Austrian Oak decided to take his wife along for the shoot. He wanted to celebrate their honeymoon in a beautiful location.
The location of the movie, Mismaloya, is a picturesque cove complete with natural swimming pools and a dense jungle canopy. But despite all of that beauty, things didn’t exactly go according to his plan.
During a previous interview with the bodybuilding legend, Arnie recalled, “That was a bit of a mistake.”
“The first night, Maria and I were checked into a hotel room, and she wanted to take a shower. So she opened up the curtain and the whole bathtub was filled with frogs. They were all jumping around. She freaked out. That was the end of that honeymoon idea,” Schwarzenegger added.
