Arnold Schwarzenegger has been very active in the media lately due to the promotion of the latest show starring him - Netflix's Fubar. However, the star is eager to talk not only about the new project, but also share anecdotes and trivia from his career so far. After he introduced fans to the the circumstances of the creation of the iconic Terminator line, "I'll be back", he decided to go back to the time when he starred in the infamous Batman and Robin.

Although Joel Schumacher's production was crushed by critics, the re-creation of Dr. Victor Fries had his own reason to rejoice. After all, the role of Mr. Freeze brought him a fortune and made him the highest-earning actor in Hollywood in the 1990s.

"It's Batman and Robin that brought me more than $30 million. I became the highest-paid stage artist in Hollywood history," Schwarzenegger said.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the star revealed that such an injection of money was staggering for him. After all, the bodybuilder had previously worked on construction sites and although he considered $5,000 for bricklaying a wall to be a great wage, it was only his earnings in Hollywood that made him rich.

Premiere of Fubar, the first TV project for Arnold Schwarzenegger, will take place on Netflix on May 25, 2023. Recall that in it the actor portrays a CIA agent approaching retirement.
