While Arnold Schwarzenegger may enjoy all the luxury in the world now

How 7 time Mr Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger Did Not Even Have Basic Facilities Growing Up

Not long ago, the documentary series on the life of Arnold Schwarzenegger
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/] made its way to
Netflix. The streamer did an incredible job of portraying the life of the
Austrian Oak. From taking the audience through Schwarzenegger’s achievements to
highlighting his struggles, the documentary was surely an experience to watch.
Among the several parts of the actor’s life, the story covered was his childhood
home. As shocking as it sounds, the actor did not even have the basic facilities
in his house while growing up.

As we all know, Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most bankable actors in the
industry. We are no strangers to the huge action star Schwarzenegger was back in
the day. Owing to Schwarzenegger’s incredibly successful career, he enjoys an
incredibly luxurious lifestyle now. However, the actor surely lived in some
miserable conditions before reaching where he has today.


ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER’S CHILDHOOD HOME WILL SHOCK YOU

The Netflix documentary on Schwarzenegger gave the fans a great in-depth view of
the actor’s early life. A segment of the documentary series covered the initial
days of the actor’s life in Thal, Austria, where he grew up. Interestingly, it
also showed us the house in which The Terminator star grew up. Schwarzenegger
lived in a one-floor apartment with his mother, Aurelia, father, Gustav, and
older brother, Meinhard.



While the actor enjoyed his own room despite living in a small house, he had to
compromise on a lot of basic necessities. As per reports from BBC
[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-14352384], the house Schwarzenegger spent
his childhood in did not even have running water. As shocking as it sounds back
in the day, the house did not even have electricity. Visitors can still get a
glimpse of the house’s 1950s-style kitchen and the original pit toilet.

Meanwhile, apart from the severe living conditions the actor grew up in,
Schwarzenegger also had a tough time with his father.


WHAT WAS THE TERMINATOR STAR’S FATHER LIKE?

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s childhood was anything but normal. The actor grew up in
an incredibly strict household. His father, Gustav, was a cop and a Nazi
supporter. Unsurprisingly, Gustav wanted the Austrian Oak to grow up and become
a cop, too. Reports from Business Insider suggest that the actor was never fond
of his father and called him a tyrant. 



On the other hand, Gustav was incredibly strict and often hit his children with
belts. He even forced his sons to have a brawl with each other. Schwarzenegger
previously revealed that his father’s behavior got worse when he drank. At the
age of 21, Schwarzenegger finally fled his father and left for America.
