Well, if it is real, then the opening shots of T3 must be fake.

Has anybody seen this latest pic of Arnold? The years and the stress have afected him. He no longer looks like a 5 time Mr. Olympia.[/quote]
7 Time Mr. Olympia.
These sort of posts get tedious, not the photos, but people’s attitudes, he is damn near his 60’s and Governor, but people expect him to still be in Olympia shape, the fact that Arnold accomplished such a degree of accolades within bodybuilding and the fact that no one reading or replying to this will come a football fields length of him physique wise, I have to laugh at anyone having the audacity to rip on him. Even at his present condition he looks better than half the guys here during their “bulking” season.
For those that keep on screaming “photoshop”, why don’t you actually look at the photos, yes that is Arnold, I believe even Arnold admitted they were legit, or else he would have sued the publicist of these photos. Anyone who knows Arnold’s physique can look at the calves, chest, shoulders and hip ratio and tell that, that is infact Arnold in those photographs. Arnold fanboys need to just admit they are legit, it’s no big deal, what Arnold (even if he is a smart ass at times) done is imprinted in time, nothing changes that. Guess what? We all will die one day too, will we have ripped striated glutes when we are dead, will it matter?

Notice in the second set of photos:
His legs cast a shadow running to his left
His head casts a shadow down his chest
So the head shot would suggest a sun that’s to his back, probably near noon, while the legs would suggest that it is later in the day.
And the shadows don’t look consistent to me around his head.
It looks photoshopped to me.[/quote]
By your reasoning this would mean the head / torso are one image and the legs / background are another. Unless you think the head is one, the torso is two and the legs / bg are a third yet… and the torsos on both of the pics share similar characteristics.
One thing, however, is that in the top one he is wearing shorts of some sort and the bottom he’s got on a Speedo… and the obvious fact that one’s sunny and the other is overcast.
I dunno. I am torn. At 72 dpi, it could be real. Without seeing an actual photo, anything could be Photoshop’d.
I’ll tell you all one thing. Krom is going to be pissed when he sees this!
If it is, he’s deteriorating fast, because he didn’t look that bad before he become govnah.
This was discussed a couple months before. I think someone mentioned the second photo was taken shortly after his surgery. Don’t know if that’s true, though.
FUCK !! will you all leave the guy alone ??? Yes, he has gained weight, so what ? 99% of the people who read/post on this forum will end up looking fat, or whatever at that age. But who HAS the life-long accomplishments like he does ?? None of you !!.. Who WILL have the same ammount of accomplishments by the time you reach his age… again, none of you !!.. Geez. He’s getting old !! We’ll all get old !! quit shitting yourself that you’ll still look great regardless of age… Life happens, get over it !!
Just think, back in the 60’s and 70’s, Arnold and the like, were considered freaks. Now most of you all are looking at him as if he still needs to have that O’lympia’ body… but he doesn’t… he’s not a freak for being older and not muscular and cut-up…
I don’t give a shit if he weighed 350. He was an immigrant with a big dream, became the best in his sport, then he kicked ass in movies, now he’s doing great in politics. Just doing one of these accomplishments is a hell of a feat, much less three of them. (not to mention he has a degree and is a smart businessman) All of you busting on him for getting older and looking the part… shame on you!
i dont care how he looks
in my opinion the governator is doing a great job, and i’m voting for him if he runs again.
…his job is a lil more important than his looks now
TC is right. The second picture was made public in “real” news outlets, not tabloids. Those were just a few months after his heart surgery and before he started filming T3. He wasn’t able to work out for several months after that surgery. There’s several other shots of him on that same day from different angles. It’s definitely him. In fact, if I remember correctly, I think he even laughed and commented on those pics in an interview somewhere (I wanna’ say Ironman, sorry I don’t have a link or anything) when someone asked him how he turned his body around so quickly for T3. I could be wrong, but I really do seem to remember that…
Also, I agree with some of the other posters in saying that, so he doesn’t look like Mr. Olympia anymore…so fuckin’ what?! Keeping in mind that bone and muscle density decreases drastically the older we get, whether we workout or not, I think the guy is doing pretty damn good. He couldn’t workout for a few months after his surgery, but he turned that around and he’s doing good now. Even if that first picture is him, I’d say he’s fine for being close to 60 years old. I think some people just don’t realize how much of a toll heart surgery takes on you, mentally AND physically…
I though that I heard these pics were pre Terminator 3, which would make sense. When I rented T3, I listened to Arnold’s commentary for around 15 minutes, which was hilarious. He talks about the naked opening shot for the whole 15 minutes, while there’s a whole lot of other action going on. He goes on and on about how everyone’s going to pull out pictures of his Mr. Olympia deltoids and compare them to his T3 deltoids, rhomboids, triceps etc etc… I guess it was just a bodybuilder doing his thing, but hearing Arnold say ‘deltoids’ 5-6 times was great.
T-Nation… WTF? Do you guys really think that second pic is Arnold? It’s like a Kindergarten Convention and everone’s got a tuma!
Holy shit that was the best commentary ever. Then he goes on and on about breast size after the TX makes her breasts bigger. “Ya you know, some guys, deh like da big breasts, but some guys deh like da smaller breasts so you see this would be fantastic because you could make any man happy! Fantastic!”

I thought the pictures in question were taken before he got back into shape for T3. He’s in better shape now.
Case closed. I found the original picture they used to graft Arnold’s head onto.
Drudge is a f**k. How dare he speak ill of the Austrian Oak.

This is correct. The fat picture was pre-Terminator 3. He started working out twice a day, 6 days per week or something crazy like that to get back into phenomenal shape for the movie.
As if that’s not enough.
