Conan O’Brien recently had an entertaining conversation with Arnold Schwarzenegger on his talk show, “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend.” The episode provided a glimpse into Schwarzenegger’s daily routine and his unique love for animals.
At the start of the conversation, Conan asked Schwarzenegger about his fitness regimen and how it has evolved over the years. Schwarzenegger humorously responded, mentioning that his day begins with feeding his animals. He has a miniature donkey named Lulu, a miniature pony named Whiskey, and three dogs. Schwarzenegger’s girlfriend gifted him the donkey after realizing that the pony needed company.
As Schwarzenegger described, his animals have become a part of his morning routine. He feeds them cookies, particularly oatmeal cookies made with honey. Initially, it was just the horse pushing him for cookies, but soon the dogs and the pig also joined. Schwarzenegger jokingly admitted that he now has to make pounds and pounds of cookies every day.
Apart from taking care of his animals, Schwarzenegger also shares these moments with his family and grandchildren. They love riding the pony and the donkey while Schwarzenegger holds onto them to ensure their safety. His grandchildren even have their favorite animals among the lot.
To entertain his elderly cousin in New York, Schwarzenegger films the whole animal feeding routine and shares it with his cousin via his iPad. They love watching it and talk about it the entire day.
Schwarzenegger’s unique love for animals has gained him quite a reputation. People often ask if they can visit his home specifically to see the animals rather than to meet him. But he doesn’t mind, as he finds joy in sharing his animals’ presence with others.
After his morning animal routine, Schwarzenegger heads down to Gold’s Gym for a 45-minute workout. He enjoys riding his bike to the gym, working out, and then riding back home. And with that, he continues on with his day, either having breakfast or simply moving forward with his work.
During the conversation, Conan expressed a desire to work out with Schwarzenegger someday. Schwarzenegger responded in good humor, stating that he might be in better shape than expected. He also joked that Conan might be surprised to find that a man his age could let himself go. They shared a light-hearted banter, emphasizing their friendship.
It is evident that Schwarzenegger’s animals hold a special place in his heart. They not only bring joy to his mornings but also provide entertainment to his loved ones and fans. It’s no wonder people are fascinated by his pet-filled home.
The conversation between Conan O’Brien and Arnold Schwarzenegger showcased their camaraderie and provided an entertaining glimpse into Schwarzenegger’s daily routine. It was a delightful reminder that even celebrities have their own unique quirks and passions. So, if you ever have the chance to visit Schwarzenegger, don’t be surprised if people are more interested in seeing his animals than meeting the man himself.
