    He did seminars, magazine interviews and photoshoots etc for Joe Weider then set up his own mail order business and got into construction with Franco.

    This. It's well known in the community that he wasl taken in by a group of wealthy gay real estate men in the Venice area who helped him get his start flipping houses here.

    I don't recall the woman's name who wrote the book about him, but she also mentions this as well.

    This. There was actually a group of bodybuilders that would do construction, laying brick and such.


    Not sure about the gay for pay stuff, but it wouldn't surprise me. If it's so "well known" though, I can't figure out why this is the first I've heard of it, given that this isn't the first time I've come across this question.

    You'd think more folks would talk about it, especially given that Arnold's attitude kinda rubbed some people the wrong way back then (no pun intended).

    Weider paid him a small amount, he started a mail order business, then he started a construction business with Franco, then he bought property...he was a millionaire before he ever became famous in the movies.
    We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.

    You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.

    I read Weider paid him like a grand a month or something like that to help him get on his feet.

    I've read a lot of talk about Arnold and gay stuff. Most of what I read says that Arnold was a good tease, but didn't perform much and didn't actually do any acts.

    It's in a few biographies about him, even the ones that are praise jobs.

    Arnold is very much into women, but he was always sympathetic to gays, too.

    hard to say for sure. Kind of like Arnold possibly getting calf implants. Depends on who you talk to.
    Ric Drasin gave a very interesting take on that.

    Arnold did not get calf implants. His calfs were diced you would be able to tell. You can always tell when someone has implants.

    A guy in Munich who owned a chain of gyms paid him to run one. He let Arnold sleep on the couch until he got his own gaff. He offered him a car, a place to stay and money to be his 'friend', and Arnold refused.

    Read his memoir TOTAL RECALL and you'll know for sure. Yes, his bread and butter was the mail order business, then construction, then he ultimately became rich in the real estate business where he has a natural gift as an expert. He was a millionaire even before he became a famous actor.
    "Optimum Nutrition fan and endorser."

    If Arnold Schwarzenegger is the heart of bodybuilding, Joe Weider is the soul. If Arnold Schwarzenegger is the king of bodybuilding, Joe Weider is the God.

    Been into bodybuilding since 1991, non-stop and constant.

    I looked 10 years younger for my age the day I turned 33. The pattern remains the same every year. But I want to look 80 like Sean Connery.

    I practice science, art, sport and philosophy, therefore, I'm a bodybuilder.
