Serena Williams’ husband’s moment involving Arnold Schwarzenegger

Alexis Ohanian took to Twitter to talk about a memorable incident four years ago. He said, “4 years ago. I give myself 3 out of 5 for this particular @Schwarzenegger impression.”

Earlier, Alexis had mentioned an episode involving Arnold in his speech. He said, “They lifted up that dumbbell and dropped it right on their foot. The entire gym just stopped and everyone froze and looked out and they were so mortified, they went running out of the gym. Now, this is the exact kind of story you’ll never find on Facebook, you’ll never find anywhere else on social because we’re all too busy trying to show off how great are perfect lives are.”
