“Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Humility: Allowing $379M James Cameron Movie Co-Star to Shine, Who Eventually Wins an Oscar 29 Years Later”

Arnold Schwarzenegger has already enjoyed massive stardom all thanks to his impeccable acting career.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Kept His Ego Aside to Let $379M James Cameron Movie Co-Star Shine Who Won an Oscar 29 Years Later

While his work in the action genre is much enough to portray what an outstanding powerhouse he is as an actor, his quite hidden quality was also unraveled when he chose to take a step back from taking the top spotlight in James Cameron’s 1991 film, True Lies.

“In my contract, it said [the credits would read], ‘Arnold Schwarzenegger in ‘True Lies’ starring Jamie Lee Curtis.’”

However, when the film director, James Cameron watched the nearly finished movie after editing, he realized that the film was a ‘domestic epic.’

As soon as he got the hang of that, he called the Terminator actor for a last-minute change and suggested having the former take the lead in credit.

“And Jim said, ‘I called Arnold today because I’ve just watched the movie again, and it really is a domestic epic.

It really is a movie about a marriage.

And I asked Arnold if it was OK to put your name above the title alongside his, and he’s agreed.’ 

The action star was down with the idea as she continued,

“I’m telling you, in the world of show business — show-off business is how I like to refer to it — that is such a coveted, negotiable commodity, the credit.

Arnold Schwarzenegger said absolutely, like that. There was not a question that he would do that. That was a menschy move on his part.”

Not just her, but the film was a major success since it swept a total of seven Oscars out of eleven nominations at the 95th Academy Awards including the Best Picture Award.

The film stars Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn with Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., James Hong, and Curtis in supporting roles.
