'Arnold Schwarzenegger Makes Tiger Woods Look Like the Virgin Mary,' Says Bio Author

By Chris Jancelewicz Posted Oct 15th 2010 01:30PM

Kamikaze celebrity biographer Ian Halperin is at it again. Following the success of his most recent books on Brangelina and Michael Jackson, Halperin decided to take on the granddaddy of rags-to-riches fame, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in 'The Governator: From Muscle Beach to His Quest for the White House, the Improbable Rise of Arnold Schwarzenegger.'

The ever-candid Halperin doesn't pull any punches. He gets up-front and open about Schwarzenegger's steroid-addled bodybuilding past, his alleged womanizing and sexual escapades, and his semi-shocking views on today's Republican Party. Here's a snapshot of some of the stuff he revealed in the interview. Read the full interview at Moviefone.

Did you learn anything about Schwarzenegger that shocked you?
What shocked me the most are his thoughts on the Republican Party today. He said he believes it's been hijacked by extremists and the religious right. He says he hates what's happened to the Party. He also said he loves George Bush, Sr. but despises George W. Bush. He always asks "How George and Barbara could raise such an idiot."

I know that Schwarzenegger has admitted to using steroids in the past. Did you uncover anything more in terms of that?
First off, I gotta say he's nothing like Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds, who hide behind closed doors or lie in front of the grand jury. Arnold comes clean, and is, at least to some extent, honest. What I did learn is that Arnold is a great businessman. He always wanted to be rich. What was shocking was that he was actually selling steroids to other bodybuilders to make a profit. He was no fool.

What about in terms of the womanizing/sexual assault rumors?
In a nutshell, Arnold Schwarzenegger makes Tiger Woods look like the Virgin Mary, and I'm not kidding you. This guy has been a notorious sex addict, and finding women who'll come out and admit to sleeping with him is like finding snow in Toronto in February. It ain't too difficult.

I forget – how many kids does Schwarzenegger have?
Four. That we know of. [Laughs]

Do you find it hard to maintain a good reputation? Or do a lot of people just think of you as a muckraker?
People either love me or hate me. But I'm the first guy to say it ... these people are sitting at home eating potato chips and criticizing me ... if they can do it better, I'll be the first guy on my feet clapping for them. I work extremely hard, and I've never had anything proven wrong in any of my work.

So what, he made it, and isn't that what it is all about. Name one saint on the forbes 500, just one...ever

By Pat Tuite

What a stupid title-only natural born citizens can be President and a naturalized Austrian can not have a quest for the White House which Arnold himself has acknowleged for years.

By joan

Sorry but Schwarzengger was NOT Jaws in Moonraker, it was Richard Kiel. Arnold has never been a Bond movie.

By joejteacher

Great timing for book. Will never be president. Cant even govern the GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA! You people been watching too many movies!

By Aaron

I like Arnie, he rocks. He would have made the greatest Governor of Ca if he had been able to achieve what he set out to do but he had to deal with all the loser special interest groups who have now run Ca totally into the ground. He's a success because he worked hard and stuck to his dream. I'm glad he made it. He deserves all the success he has. Stupid article.

By Erin

No, your buddy Gray Davis was the run who ran Ca into the ground remember? The first impeached Governor of Ca? And it was all the special interest groups who kept Arnold from achieving what he set out to do. Ca would be great is he had really been in charge instead of those two imbeciles in the Senate.

Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution as follows, No Person except a natural born Citizen....shall be eligible to the office of President, adopted September 17, 1787.
Arnie can not be President!
Ian, put down your potato chips and learn the Constitution
