Arnold Schwarzenegger Mentioned To Jimmy Kimmel That Donald Trump Really Weighed 315 And Not 215
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s feud with Donald Trump has been a lengthy one. More shots were fired four months ago during Arnold’s interview alongside Jimmy Kimmel.
Trump had listed his weight at 215 pounds, something a lot of fans and celebs took exception to. Arnold commented on the self-reported claim, stating that it was laughable due to the reason that Donald doesn’t look the weight.
Arnold added, “Yeah, as much as it’s possible that there is no climate change,” Schwarzenegger answered. “And as much as it’s possible that we don’t need to really reduce pollution.”
Arnold would go on to suggest that Trump’s real weight was actually north of 215, and possibly into the 300s.
“Look, we all know the way he is, and if it makes him feel good to, you know, tell everyone he weighs 215, I think everyone laughs about it because he does not look like he weighs 215.”
He continues, “A little bit more like maybe 315 or something.”
Jenna Fischer pulled a brave move alongside Jimmy Kimmel showing up in a towel, something Pam on The Office wouldn’t do.
Arnold’s statement got a major reaction from the crowd on-hand. As for Trump’s weight, fans especially took exception given how different his weight was just a few years ago.
Donald Trump’s Self-Reported Weight Caused Confusion Given The Massive Drop From What Was Previously Said
Trump’s self-reported weight was drastically different from prior reports. According to NPR, Trump weighed 243 pound back in 2019.
“Trump weighed in at 243 pounds during a presidential physical in 2019. His doctor said then he was overall in “very good health,” but was technically obese.”
However, his new weight would resemble something of an NFL player.
NPR adds, “Trump self-reported his height and weight to the Fulton County Jail as 6’3″ and 215 pounds. Some on social media pointed out those were the same dimensions as Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson (though Jackson, at 6’2″, is technically shorter).”
Tiger Woods had a wise response to Stephen Colbert’s golf question about Donald Trump.
Trump bragging about his health truly isn’t anything new. That held true prior to his run for office. While he was running, Trump told Jimmy Kimmel he was in line to be the healthiest President ever.
“I said, doc, I want to tell you, I will be the healthiest president ever. And he said, hmmm. I think I agree. And I think he probably took my words and put them down.”
On the flip side, Arnold has taken a different approach compared to Trump. Arnold had been tough on himself for his appearance in the recent years.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Recently Admitted With Howard Stern That He’s Struggling With His Image
Credit to Arnold for being open about his body image these days. Alongside Howard Stern, Schwarzenegger discussed aging and body image. According to the former governor, he struggles to look at himself in the mirror today.
via: Instar“I kind of smile because every day I do look in a mirror and I say, ‘Yep, you suck,” the seven-time Mr. Olympia winner told Howard Stern during Wednesday’s episode. “Look at this body.
Look at the spectral muscles that used to be firm and perky and really powerful. Now they’re just hanging there.’ I mean, what the hell is going on here?”
“When you’ve been hailed for years as this supreme body, and you have the definition and you see the veins coming down your abs, and you see veins on top of your chest and then cut, you roll the clock 50 years and you’re standing there and you don’t see that anymore.”
Arnold would go on to advise the younger generation to get uncomfortable and face challenges. According to Arnold, that’s how resilience is made.
