What's it like being opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger? For me? Are you kidding? Maybe if I'm lucky, come up to his navel!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was a kid, I think I wanted to be Arnold Schwarzenegger.
George Clooney is exactly what you would expect. He's annoyingly good looking, insanely funny, and super smart. So you just feel really inferior around him all the time. You end up feeling really bad about yourself, but you walk away feeling really great about George Clooney.
I don't suppose anybody's ever enjoyed being who they are more than Arnold's enjoyed being Arnold Palmer.
I don't want to be compared to Brad Pitt because I don't want to, you know, disappoint anybody. Brad Pitt is an icon.
I am very much a seat-of-the-pants actor. I will prepare when I have to. But I like being unprepared.
I'm quite lucky in that at certain angles I look all right, and at others I don't look so good, which enables me to play some leading roles and some stranger, more 'character'-type parts. I wouldn't say I'm the conventional handsome Hollywood leading man.
You mean the fact that Tom Arnold would spend more time with the hair and makeup people than I would?
I have unqualified admiration for Brad Pitt.
There's no one in the world close to Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is a phenomenon. He's brilliant.
There's no one in the world close to Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is a phenomenon. He's brilliant. Just because his physique belies that, don't underestimate him.
