“I was super young. But I have these brief memories of my dad going in and becoming Mr. Freeze,” he revealed to Variety. “And him going in as dad and coming out as this big, blue, bald guy. I have photos of me with him and my mom, and I’m, like, creepily staring at him, like I’m scared and I don’t know who he is.”

Schwarzenegger acknowledges that his part in Batman & Robin had a lot to do with Warner Bros. aggressively lobbying for him to be involved. After all, he was one of the biggest stars on the planet, and stunt casting was the bread and butter of these films up until that point. But, the star is not one to focus on regretting films that might not have been as beloved as some had hoped.

“In most cases I don’t regret the movies that failed or were not as good,” The former Caliornia governor told Empire. “It’s always easy to be smug in hindsight, right?”

“I don’t regret it at all. I felt that the character was interesting and two movies before that one Joel Schumacher was at his height. So the decision-making process was not off. At the same time I was doing Eraser over there and Warner Bros. begged me to do the movie.”
