Paul Wight on Insight with ChrisVanVliet, on the 12 years Arnold Schwarzenegger ribbed him by pretending not to remember meeting him after they shot Jingle All The Way together in 1996:
“That’s how brilliant Arnold is. What’s the one thing that I know I bring to the table? Not the most handsome, not the most athletic, not the strongest, none of that. But you’re going to remember meeting me. I know that I have that gift. You don’t forget meeting me. That’s my ticket to the dance. He knew that would be my card, and he took that from me for 12 years.”
According to Wight, Schwarzenegger walked up and introduced himself with “Arnold Schwarzenegger, nice to meet you” four separate times across 12 years, including once at Gold’s Gym in Venice where Wight’s photo is on the wall. The rib finally broke at the Arnold Classic when Schwarzenegger introduced Wight from the stage as “my good friend Paul” and winked at him.
