    Arnold Schwarzenegger has no reason to "complain" about his fame

    The 77-year-old bodybuilder-turned-Hollywood star has been known around the world for decades and claimed that the desire to "get attention" is what most celebrities have, but he has no problem with fans approaching him because he is aware of the advantages that come with his status


    When it was suggested to him that he has no "hostility" towards being famous, he told The Sunday Times: "You're absolutely right. What people miss the most is to get attention.

    "That someone knows them, is aware of them, that they're somebody. And so they go to a shrink. They lie on the couch and someone is listening to them.

    "But I go out anywhere to a crowd and they all listen. And they love to listen to my s***, right?

    "I'm having fifty thousand shrinks sitting out there, and I don't pay a f***ing penny. I get paid! So how can I complain about that?

    "OK, yes, there are times when you go to a restaurant and someone comes up and says, can I take a picture of you?

    "But I can walk into this restaurant at any time, I can sit at any table I want, I make no reservation. For that I take a picture with someone. It takes three minutes. So why would I complain?"

    Meanwhile, the Terminator star is father to Katherine, 35,C hristina, 33, Patrick, 31, and Christopher, 27, with his ex-wife Maria Shriver as well as 27-year-old Joseph with Mildred Patricia Baena and his oldest son has become something of a household name himself through his role as Saxon Ratliff in the hit HBO series The White Lotus.

    Arnie admitted that "everything has changed" now with his son's newfound celebrity status, but he will actually be very pleased if Patrick has "outdone" him in the long run.

    He said: "All of a sudden, everything has changed around. I walk into the gym now and it used to be the girls would come up and give me their contact. And then after White Lotus comes out, the girl comes up and says, 'Here's my contact, give it to Patrick.' So it's wonderful. If I go to my grave and know that my son has outdone me, I'm in heaven."
