«I only know one thing in Italian: "Ti acchiapp'alla tie". It means: I'll take you by the neck and my friend Franco Columbu taught me».
Thus Arnold Schwarzenegger , who in an interview with Corriere della Sera wanted to remember his Sardinian friend, known in America when both were bodybuilding stars, who died in August 2019 .
"I lived with him and he always said: catch your tie", explained the actor, during the presentation of "Fubar", the new series in which he stars on Netflix, together with the Italian-American actress Monica Barbaro.
And, in the same, he confessed to being very different from the tough guy roles that have characterized his career. «The protagonist of Fubar - he said - worked for the CIA for an infinite number of years, he faced incredible risks. He wants to retire and go around in his boat and win back the wife who left him fifteen years ago. In real life, however, I will never retire. I will continue until I can't take it anymore. Because working brings me joy. What an extraordinary joy to wake up every morning to shoot this series in Toronto for four and a half months. Episode after episode: the scenes, the action, the guns, it's like being a kid again. Running, jumping off a three-story building, driving like crazy on a motorcycle or in a car, what fun... And when you finish you go to an environmental conference, or you go to an anti-hate conference. For me – concludes Schwarzenegger – life is exciting and I have no intention of retiring. Point".
