What problem did Arnold Schwarzenegger have with the script of Terminator 2?
Hi.
Since the second it came out, Terminator 2: Judgment Day became a classic, and to this day is considered by many to be the greatest action movie of all time.
But before the movie started shooting, Arnold Schwarzenegger had a problem with the script and I can’t blame him for it.
James Cameron revealed in an interview with The Ringer:
I could tell there was something bugging him, right? We were pals at this point. Post-Terminator, we rode motorcycles together.
And he said, ‘Jim, I have a big problem with the script.’ I said, ‘Well, what is it?’ And he said, ‘I don’t kill anybody.’ I said, ‘I know, right? They’ll never see that coming. Nobody will guess it.’
He said, ‘I know, but one thing is a surprise. Another thing is I don’t kill anybody and I’m the Terminator.’
This is happening on some terrace at Cannes and everybody’s looking. I’m like, ‘Let’s talk this out.’ I give him all the reasons how it’s going to work. He said, ‘I know, but everybody knows I kick in the door and shoot everybody. That’s what I do.’
Up until now, I hadn’t noticed he never killed anyone in the film, and that shows how good the film is. The characters are so good that we don’t even notice that the T-800 is not doing what he is known for but still manages to be the badassest badass of all badasses.
Do you think that Terminator 2 is one of the best action films of all time?

Hi.
Probably Rebecca Romijn on the set of the X-Men franchise.
Every day she had to spend 9 hours in the make-up chair before she could even start acting and then had to go back to the chair to remove the makeup.
Not only was that a long and gruelling process in itself, but she also had to allow the make-up artists to literally touch every inch of her body.
And by every inch I really mean EVERY inch:
She loved it though and thought of it as her being paid to endure the exhausting, and at times painful, make-up process and the acting as being an added bonus. She is even willing to reprise the role as long as she can get the same make-up process again so that she can get right back into the character.
She was an absolute badass in the movies and I can’t imagine anyone playing the character better than her.
Sorry, not sorry, Jennifer.
Thank you for reading.

Taylor Lautner (left) had a small role as a high school athlete that was written specifically for him in the 2010 movie Valentine’s Day. Because he was coming off the success of the Twilight films mainly due to his appearance, the original script was written for him to take his shirt off. However, Lautner was not on board with that. This is what he had to say:
“Originally I was supposed to take off my shirt,” he says. “The script said we were walking into school and Willy takes off his shirt. I said, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. He’s gonna take off his shirt in the middle of school? No, no, no. The reason I took off my shirt for New Moon is because it’s written in the book that way. And there’s reasons behind it.”[1]

2.Steve Jobs
Steve was an important figure in the world of technology, but he was also a vegan. However, people are not aware of the fact that he became a vegan as he thought it would mean he would no longer have to have a bath.

Hi.
Johnny Depp married Amber Heard.
The guy who people only have good things to say about, married a woman that even her friends testified against her in court.
The guy who took care of a pregnant Penelope Cruz, earning the eternal gratitude of her husband Javier Bardem, married a woman who had been arrested for beating her ex-girlfriend.
The guy whose exes rushed to his defence married the woman who lied in court and cut off part of his finger with a vodka bottle.
The guy who even though has his demons and addictions and still backed away from fighting his wife, married a woman who got angry and beat him because he always left the room instead of fighting back.
He’s a dumbass for marrying her, but he’s still a kind-hearted dumbass who married an awful person.
