@@PokemonTrainerVince There's definite truth there. I'm not necessarily opposed to marriage. People have a right to choose what's best for them but marriage doesn't mean for a minute that someone isn't going to stray. It doesn't make them anymore committed to a relationship either. Look at the divorce rate. And it's true that many women do abuse their alimony rights in court. Then there's also child support where they screw them out of more money than is really necessary. I wonder if all that money really goes on feeding and clothing their kids.

[@PokemonTrainerVince]

@@robertmcelwaine7024 Exactly. 9 times out of 10 that extra money goes towards the ex-wife's wardrobe or her new boy toy. Our legal system is a joke.

That lesson he learned from Arnold works both ways though, so it’s not the best advice. If the money’s right before you read the script, you’ll be predisposed to accept the script based on the money. You’re more likely to forgive a bad script. The end result is you star in a flop and it damages your brand. Then the offers become scarcer and the scripts start to diminish in quality and its a cycle that’s hard to break out of because in your desperation for literally anything you’re willing to forgive more and more and your scripts get worse and worse. That happened to A LOT of the action stars of the era and eventually it even happened to Arnold. He started to look at the paycheck first and the movies got bad. Smartly he shifted focus from movie stardom to politics at just the right time.

And they never made another good Predator movie since 1987. First is just on a different level. Unmatched by anything.

[@pappy374]

I actually quite like the second one. Danny Glover did a great job.

[@SalemGhassanHanna]

@@pappy374 Glover wasn't the problem. The first was just a hard act to follow. And Stephen Hopkins is no John McTiernan.

[@Comewithmeifuwant2live]

Jessie being very gullible here. Arnie didn't make Cameron or the studio wait for T2. It was the other way around. Arnie was always asking Cameron about a sequel over phone calls. And it's easy to turn down Predator 2 when you have a whole host of movies lined up, and already been involved in something like 14 movies. He was getting married at the time, but I'm sure if his future wasn't as secure in Hollywood as he would have liked, he would have snapped it up in an instant. Jesse believed literally everything Arnie told him. I'd say Arnie was laughing his ass off. "Nah Jessie, the timing wasn't right" lol

Pootie Tang is a very powerful thing. It’s almost impossible to say no to when men are confronted to it.

[@matthewronson5218]

People don't know all of the particulars, either, like what was really going on in their marriage. Maybe she'd cheated too, maybe she had an ongoing disinterest in sex, maybe the marriage was hollow. This isn't offering excuses but mitigating factors can't be discounted remembering that we're all fallible.

[@TJ-fe7rr]

Jesse is a smart man who gives good answers to alot of questions. But he doesn't have to answer every question they throw at him. The subject of Arnold and Maria you'd think he wouldn't even want it brought up. You shouldn't talk badly about your friends to the media

[@skippythealien9627]

Jesse just hates Arnold because he's still bitter over getting killed in the first Predator film

this guy looks 50 years older than in predator

[@killerscomicalunboxings6122]

Democracy Illusion he was 36 in the movie and that was 31 years ago but you posted this a year ago so that would have been 30 years ago so how young do you expect him to look lol?

[@scottknode898]

Democracy Illusion Jesse Ventura is now 68 years old and was 35 when filmed Predator in 1986 for release in 1987. People can change a lot in over 30 years.

[@brianboughton861]

i guess the abraxis producers paid him a shitload

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if a substantial portion of the budget was given to Ventura. Lots of cheap movies are made like that: they spend most of the money on a recognizable name and little else. Also, his agent probably held the producers by the balls since they needed someone with fame and Ventura was the only one they could get ahold of.

[@GentiluomoStraniero]

Jesse sounds like he has a value most don't have....Loyalty.

[@SunOnMyStubble]

This guy should take any acting work he can get! Don't read the script until the money is right?? I don't think he's in the position where he can afford to be too picky.

[@ryansanchez319]

Sun on my Stubble trust me when I say he is plenty in a position to be picky. Inb4 "please explain" "How do you know" Short answer: He gets royalties checks from the wwf/e anytime they decide to use his likeness in anyway. The only professional wrestler past or current I know of that trademarked their in ring persona

[@JohnGaltAustria]

He is wearing the exact same outfit he wore during his first scene in Predator: Black t-shirt and jeans. Somehow that makes me like his character even more. Also: pretty method.

[@michaelbeltran9879]

Being independent vote for Jesse Ventura

[@krisyallowega5487]

Jesse is always available to talk about how awful someone is and how great he is. When a interviewer wants answers to something that he dropped the ball on he walks away. I think it is called owning your mistakes and making up for them. But as he said time is not on his side much longer. It may be too little too late.
