HASTA LA VISTA!

odybuilder, actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger releases a monthly newsletter detailing a variety of topics. In one of his fall newsletters, he answered (1988), with co-star Danny Devito, who shared a cannabis-packed cigar with him, without mentioning that it contained cannabis. “I’m a fanatic about memorizing my lines so I never touch the script once I arrive on a set, but when we got back after lunch, Danny said his line and I just stood there. ‘Duh.’ Before lunch, we had filmed this exact scene for the master shot, and we both had nailed our lines. Now, after lunch when we came back to cover our closeups, in front of hundreds of people, I was speechless,” he described. “Ivan Reitman reminded me of my line and asked the script supervisor to show me the script, and it was like I was seeing something for the first time. My brain had completely forgotten the scene I had no trouble with before lunch. Danny was laughing up a storm, and Ivan flipped the cameras to film Danny’s close-up so I could read my lines off the page and we wouldn’t waste any time.” After a time, he felt back to normal, and ended by saying Producer and Director Reitman was a tolerable person, but if it had been a James Cameron film, he “would have been in real trouble.”
