Talking more about what prompted him to take the decision, Arnold, in his newsletter wrote, ” Once I hit a certain level of stardom, I started to fly everywhere on private planes. I couldn’t walk around the airport or pick up my bag without being bombarded by people taking photos of me when I was exhausted.” To understand his perspective, he requests his fans to place themselves in his shoes.
