Arnold Schwarzenegger's bluntness in real life mirrors that of his Terminator character. The 74-year-old actor has always been very vocal about his beliefs and is never afraid to share his two cents. Arnold recently landed himself in hot lava water when he all but condemned those who refused to wear masks amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the Terminator talks, you ought to listen
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently dividing people. On one hand, there are those who firmly believe that the key to ending the current predicament is to listen to government-mandated protocols. On the other hand, others think that what the government wants you to do (e.g. wearing masks etc) is infringing on your personal freedom. The latter are the ones that Arnold targeted in one of his previous interviews.
The seven-time Mr. Olympia did not mince his words when talking about people who deliberately choose to disregard health protocols. In an August interview, he explained that people who feel like they are losing their rights should remember that freedom comes with "obligations and responsibilities". The actor specifically referred to those who outright denied safety regulations as schmucks.
