Arnold Schwarzenegger, the 6′ 2″ tall famous actor and former governor, often tells his children that he loves them and is proud of them. He shares these messages on Instagram, especially on their birthdays. He values his relationship with his children and wants them to know how much he cares for them. However, Schwarzenegger’s own childhood was very different.
Arnold Schwarzenegger net worth is estimated a $450 million today, but grew up in a small village in Austria, and his father, who had fought in World War II, became an alcoholic prone to violence after the war. Arnold revealed to PEOPLE that, “My father had a hot-and-cold-shower kind of a treatment,” says Schwarzenegger.
“When he was drunk, he was not forthcoming with his emotions. He was angry. And when he was not—two, three days later, he would maybe feel guilty and buy us ice cream and take us out, hugging, kissing and all that stuff.”
Throughout Arnold’s childhood, his father had one constant motto: “Be useful.” This phrase motivated Arnold, and he later adopted it for his new motivational book, “Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life,” set to be released on October 10, 2023.
In the book, he distills some of his greatest life lessons. Despite his father’s shortcomings, Arnold doesn’t blame him for anything. He understands that his father had a difficult life, having been beaten as a child and forced into WWII. Arnold told People, “I felt that my father loved me, because I could tell by the way he held me. I learned how to feel those things rather than to hear those things.”
