Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals He Once Threw Son Patrick’s Mattress into Pool to Teach Him Lesson


The actor previously discussed his strict parenting style with PEOPLE
Arnold Schwarzenegger is one strict dad!

The actor, 76, discussed the dramatic way he kept his son Patrick Schwarzenegger in line as a boy while discussing his parenting style during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday.
“For the way I grew up, I was lenient. But I think for American standards, I was probably strict,” Schwarzenegger, who was on the show to promote his new book Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, confessed to host Jimmy Kimmel.

“My son did not make his bed. He had his nanny make the bed, which was not allowed,” said the Terminator star. “So I came in one time and the bed was made so immaculately that I looked at it and I said, ‘Patrick, did you do that?’ And he said, ‘No, I didn’t.’ So I grabbed the mattress, opened up the doors, and threw it off the balcony down into the swimming pool!”
“It gives an example. So he had to, kind of, drag it up, the mattress and the pillows — I threw everything out there,” he added.

Schwarzenegger has five children: Katherine, 33, Christina, 32, Patrick, 30, and Christopher, 26, shared with ex Maria Shriver, plus Joseph, 26, with Mildred Baena. The actor is also granddad to daughter Katherine’s kids Lyla, 3, and Eloise, 16 months.
Amid the upcoming release of his book, the actor shared in an exclsuive interview with with PEOPLE that he instructed his kids to carry out cleaning duties at home, which included making their own beds, washing their own clothes and cleaning their bathrooms.

And the consequences have persisted into their adult years! As he told PEOPLE, “Katherine comes over with Lyla and she says, ‘Lyla, I told you already not to put the shoes there. Keep your shoes on or you put them away, but you don’t leave them there by the stand in front of the fireplace because you know what Daddy did? When I left my shoes there twice? The third time, he burned them in front of me and I cried.’ ”
Did he really burn her shoes? “Yes, absolutely,” Schwarzenegger said with a grin. “Now she uses the same methods which she cried over and that she complained about.”
Schwarzenegger also discussed the bed-making incident, which he said occurred when Patrick was 9 and the frustrated dad tossed his son’s mattress out the window.
“I opened up the door to the balcony, picked up the mattress and threw it down with the bedsheets, the pillows, everything. I said, ‘Don’t ever make someone come in and clean your room, clean your shower or make your bed,’ ” he told PEOPLE. “I said, ‘Because I taught you how to make the bed.’ ”
Schwarzenegger also recalled contention with Patrick over his long, hot showers, telling his son, “It’s over, no more showers. Five minutes, one shower, and then that’s it and we’re turning it off.”
While the kids had strong reactions to his tactics growing up, the Kindergarten Cop star said over time the stories have become legendary in his family: “Funny enough, those kinds of things are what they bring up all the time with tremendous laughter and tell other people as a joke.”
“It’s the funniest thing when Katherine comes over, she loves bragging to other people about how bossy I was, how tough I was when she grew up and how she didn’t get away with anything,” Schwarzenegger added.Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life is available Oct. 10 wherever books are sold.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
