Time-Travel for Arnold | Rolling Stone

 ". . .Arnold doesn’t really offer a frank assessment of Schwarzenegger’s fairly disastrous time in office as California governor, but in addition to getting him to discuss the groping allegation, the filmmakers also ask him about fathering a son, Joseph, with his Guatemalan maid, Mildred Patricia Baena. The news of Schwarzenegger’s love child in 2011, who bears a striking resemblance to him, caused his wife Maria Shriver to leave him. (Joseph appears in the docuseries working out alongside Schwarzenegger.) . ."

Arnold Schwarzenegger Apologizes for Groping Women in Netflix Docuseries

Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood star and former governor of California, also addresses the love child he fathered with his maid in Netflix’s Arnold.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER HAS gone all-in on Netflix. First came FUBAR, a rollicking action-comedy series where the former Terminator stars as an aging CIA operative who embarks on one last mission with his daughter. And now there’s Arnold, a three-part docuseries directed by Lesley Chilcott that explores the 75-year-old icon’s journey from Austrian bodybuilder to Hollywood icon and California governor. In the film, Schwarzenegger is joined by pals like director James Cameron, co-stars Danny DeVito and Jamie Lee Curtis, and even his ‘80s rival Sylvester Stallone.

“He’s the most competitive maniac I’ve ever met,” offers one of Schwarzenegger’s pals at the start of Arnold.

And it’s this psychotic drive (and steroids, which he admits to pumping his body full of) that propelled Schwarzenegger to the top of the Hollywood food chain. There are a number of fun stories in Arnold, which runs around three hours, including how film producer Mike Medavoy initially wanted O.J. Simpson for the role of Terminator and Schwarzenegger as the rebel soldier Kyle Reese in The Terminator.
