He was actually similar to his Conan character. Plus he loved to party. Any time the dude wasn’t bench pressing he was hitting on ladies and doing “other things.” Here are some awesome old school pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger: Is she really that short? Ah the lovely Raquel Welch Come on, I don’t bite. Numero Uno Baby! Yay! It’s Mr. Gold! Taking some classes
