+Jakob Krebs Not really, lol. I know what you mean, but it's fascinating to me because he is worth $470 mill (pre-divorce), and he knows and enjoys manual labor. I don't know how to build a wall and I know few people who know how to do any construction. My father is a businessman just like Arnold, yet I would see him around the house all the time reconstructing the chimney, the stairwell, or whatever other project he'd be working on during his weekends. I have a lot of respect for men who have authority, but by no means hesitate to get down and dirty with everyone else.

Three observations: 1). I like how much of a cornball Schwarzenegger has been, not taking himself too seriously (the jokes here, Undercover at Gold's, Bud Light Super Bowl commercial) since leaving office and his marital issues. Can't let change and mistakes of the past hold you back. 2). The way he talks about training, the old days, and the respect he still has after all these years, movies, and politics for his friends and former competitors like Franco, he's still passionate about bodybuilding. 3). The wall he and Franco built. He didn't move to America to get into masonry, he moved here to be a bodybuilder. Construction was what you or I might consider one of those "shit jobs" we work like retail or waiting tables while pursuing what we really want, be it school, art, or whatever. The fact that he included that wall here shows the pride he has in his work, no matter how meaningless or trivial it may seem. Some days I have that, most I don't.
