Hollywood actor and famous bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger since childhood was a tall boy, fond of sports. Sometimes it happened that the children called it a fan because of the big growth and leanness. In principle, this was the beginning of his training in the gym, the purpose of which was to build muscle. Later it grew into a professional bodybuilding activity. Therefore, the height, weight, volume of the biceps and other parameters of Arnold Schwarzenegger were never a secret. However, the general attention was paid more to his musculature than to growth. The claimed growth of 188 cm and weight 107-115 kg of Arnold Schwarzenegger in his youth initially did not cause any doubt. But the more famous Arnie became, the more interest he attracted to himself.
After Arnold Schwarzenegger became an actor, journalists questioned his growth, which everyone was known for a long time. They began to conduct their own investigations, despite the fact that colleagues in bodybuilding continued to confirm the growth of 188 cm.
What is the growth in Arnold Schwarzenegger really?
Analyzing Arnold's photos, where he poses with other actors, journalists increasingly began to question his high growth. For example, in a photo where he is next to Bruce Willis, whose height is 178 cm, Schwarzenegger seems to be only a few centimeters taller. But not by 8 or 10 cm. If we lift old photos on which Arnold is taken off with other bodybuilders, we will see that Reg Park with a height of 185 cm looks higher.
This intriguing discussion was joined not only by journalists, but also by celebrity fans. There were people who claimed to have seen the actor live on the set, and the real growth of Arnold Schwarzenegger was 180 cm.
Where did the myth of such a high growth actor? Experts say that very often politicians, movie stars, pop stars specially add themselves centimeters to appear higher. Very often celebrities resort to such tricks as wearing shoes "with a secret." It can be shoes on a platform, with a heel or with an internal lift, which visually can not be distinguished from the usual ones and which are added to a person up to 8 cm in height. There are even insoles for increased growth with an air cushion in the heel area. These insoles can be inserted into any footwear and they add from 3 to 5 cm in height. According to rumors, it is this kind of shoes that Arnold prefers to seem taller. Also in such shoes were seen Tom Cruise, Robert Downey, Daniel Redcliffe and others.
Actor's comments
Even after the first denials of Schwarzenegger's high growth began to appear on the network, the actor refused to comment on this fact. In response, he only laughed colleagues in the shop, whose growth is less than 170 cm.
Later, in an interview in 2008, the actor vowed that, despite the envy's assumptions, his growth was 6'1 and ¾ feet (6'1 feet = 185.42 cm). However, over the years his growth has become 6'1 feet. In support of his words, he cites the case when he and the children at home near the wall were measuring growth, and the daughter asked him to stand on the wall. The girl with the help of a pencil put a mark on the wall, and after measured the roulette growth. The mark reached 6'1 feet. According to Schwarzenegger, they measured growth twice.
