Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals movie that made him the most money (and it's NOT Terminator)
Arnold Schwarzenegger looked back on his five-decade career while appearing on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live this week.
While chatting with host Andy Cohen on Monday night, the 77-year-old bodybuilder-turned-actor revealed that the 1988 comedy Twins has earned him his biggest payout.
'It was Twins because we had gotten no money, no salary,' he began to explain before Andy chimed in, 'You got a piece of the backend!'
Arnold agreed, 'Exactly. And it was was fantastic. We went all the way to the bank with that one.
In good taste, the Terminator icon — whose son Patrick Schwarzenegger has followed in his acting footsteps — declined to give the exact amount of his earnings.
But nudged by Bravo executive producer Cohen, who asked if it was more than $40M, he said it was well above that figure.

Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, 80, starred together in Twins, portraying genetically engineered siblings who only crossed paths when they reached adulthood.
The Austrian actor played Julius Benedict, the older brother of Vincent Benedict, played by DeVito.
The movie reached icon status, grossing more than $216million and marking Schwarzenegger's first stab at a comedic role.
Andy went on to ask if he 'had ownership in Twins 2,' which Arnold revealed never came to fruition.
'We don't have Twins 2. The sequel would have been called Triplets, and it was not done because the director, Ivan Reitman, passed away just before we wanted to start shooting the movie,' the former California governor explained.
And he also shared that Eddie Murphy had been tapped to play the third brother.
Just weeks ago in May, Schwarzenegger sent fans wild as he reunited with DeVito in an Instagram post, which happened to also feature former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The picture showed the actors on either side of Blair, 71, while each person flashed a megawatt smile as they stood next to a swimming pool.
'I love bringing old friends back together,' Schwarzenegger, who has been promoting the second season of his Netflix series FUBAR, wrote in the caption.
He gushed, 'It was fantastic to see my dear friend Tony Blair and introduce him to my brother, @dannydevito. I can't wait to talk about termination pollution together in Vienna at the @schwarzeneggerclimate summit!'
Film fanatics were quick to take to the comments section to express their excitement at Schwarzenegger and DeVito's link-up, though some called Blair's inclusion 'random.'
One commented: 'All legends in their own right!'
'These three together looks like the start of an Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode,' quipped another.

Busty Kim Kardashian looks unrecognizable in wild new SKIMS collaboration with mom Kris Jenner
Kim Kardashian put on a busty display as she was joined by her momager Kris Jenner in a wild campaign for the latest Roberto Cavalli x SKIMS campaign. The TV personality, 44 - who was recently mocked over her 'embarrassing' and 'weird' conversation with ChatGPT - jumped to her Instagram page on Tuesday to offer a glimpse at the upcoming swim collection which drops on Friday, June 27. The mom-of-four looked nearly unrecognizable as she went back to blonde with a curly bob instead of sporting her long, darker locks. In one image, the beauty showed off her toned figure wearing a one-piece swimsuit with a scooped neckline and tiger print design. She pushed back her short hair with a thick, red headband while completing the look with gold earrings and a flashy gold bracelet. Kim struck a pose on an outdoor veranda that offered a scenic view in the background - with her mom, 69, also making an appearance in the photo shoot. She could be seen wearing a flowy coverup that fell down past her ankles and was also made with the same tiger print. A video was included in the post to show Jenner whispering into her daughter's ear as other models moved about behind them. The sound of Kris's voice was drowned out by the sound of what seemed to be loud cicadas - with the reel itself having a vintage filter. Another picture was taken inside a walk-in closet as Kardashian donned a skintight blue-patterned dress which clung to her frame and contained a plunging neckline on the front. She slipped into a pair of open-toed sandals while her momager wore another coverup with the same floral pattern. Jenner opted for a pair of open-toed, blue pumps and partially concealed her dark hair with a blue-printed scarf. Kim later turned up the heat in a printed bikini top as well as matching bottoms as she soaked up the warm sunshine while lounging on a chair outside. The reality star completed the look with a pair of blue pumps as well as fashionable shades. A male model and a dog could be seen in the background in the snap, as well as in an accompanying clip while Kardashian sipped on a refreshing drink. Kim and her mom Kris also paused for photos inside a retro-inspired kitchen - and the SKIMS founder continued to flaunt her summer-ready body in a bandeau top as well as matching bikini bottoms. She added a pair of fitted, capri leggings as Jenner wore a look made of the same print while sitting at a circular table. A short reel showed Kim grab a slice of toast from the table and she continued to nibble on the breakfast snack in an open doorway. Jenner was the forefront in one picture as she posed on a lounge chair inside a spacious living room. She wore an animal-print swimsuit and coverup while her daughter wore a similar one-piece ensemble on a chair not far behind her. The latest collection is described as: 'Roberto Cavalli's exotic Italian glamour merges with SKIMS signature silhouettes in this limited-edition collection that adds bold, sexy luxury to every swim look.' During a new interview with Vogue, the TV personality opened up about how the campaign with Cavalli came to be. 'Skims can be really simple; it's all about the fits and the materials and the way they make you feel, but when you go on vacation sometimes you want something different.' Kim added, 'We were making our own prints and I was just thinking, "You know what? There has to be some way to do a Skims Cavalli collab…"' The Kardashians star then explained that she decided to reach out to the creative director of the brand, Fausto Puglisi. 'I DM'd Fausto, "Hey what do you think of this idea?" the media personality recalled - which led to the collaboration coming to life. While also talking to the outlet, Kim discussed how her mom Kris also became a part of the campaign. 'She saw that I was looking at some of the samples as we were going through everything and she was like, "Oh my God, I want this and this." 'And I felt it was really a moment between me and her and we were like, "Wait, you have to be in the campaign," because Kris Jenner is the moment too,' the SKIMS founder said. The businesswoman - who recently graduated from law school - also predicted that the upcoming collection could attract consumers of all ages. 'I think this collection in particular is going to reach a broader age range, and I think that's super-important because there's no one more fabulous than my mom. It made me feel so good that she felt so good.' The star's SKIMS company is no stranger to working alongside luxury brands - and has launched previous collections with both Dolce & Gabbana as well as Fendi. Kim first launched the $4 billion company in 2019, and the brand will celebrate its sixth anniversary later this year in October. Along with focusing on SKIMS, the star has been keeping busy and recently enjoyed a trip to Las Cabos to celebrate her daughter North's 12th birthday earlier this month. She put on a stylish display on the lowkey getaway with her eldest child as they spent time on a lavish yacht. Kim is also on the rumored guest list for Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding set for later this week on June 27. The nuptials are slated to be held in Venice, Italy - and other guests that are expected to attend include Ivanka Trump, Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah Winfrey. Last month in May, Kim and her mom Kris notably attended Lauren's bachelorette bash in Paris. Other celebrities that were at the party were Eva Longoria and Katy Perry.

Amanda Bynes steps out in black outfit after revealing she's on Ozempic
Amanda Bynes wore an all-black outfit for an outing in Malibu on Tuesday. The 39-year-old former child star wore a thin crew neck sweatshirt with leggings featuring a thin white line down the side. Bynes, who rose to fame on Nickelodeon as a tween, added a pair of white sneakers and carried a quilted Chanel bag over her shoulder. Her long platinum hair was cut into a mullet and she sported filled in eyebrows, black eyeliner, and pink lipstick. It comes after she took to Instagram on Sunday to announce that she's started an Ozempic journey. The 39-year-old former child star wore a thin crew neck sweatshirt with leggings featuring a thin white line down the side The She's the Man star said she's turning to the GLP1 weight loss drug in order to lose weight so that she looks 'better in paparazzi photos.' 'Oh, I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 now so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures,' Bynes told her 594,000 followers in the clip. She added, 'I will post about my Ozempic journey, of course.' Last year Amanda revealed she'd gained 20 pounds due to depression and that she'd like drop down to the 110lbs she weighed as a teenager. She announced her foray into subscription site OnlyFans in April, telling her online audience she was using it to communicate with them, and insisting she would not be sharing anything 'sleazy.' A source close to the former child star claimed the move would not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but also be a safe space to reveal 'what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.' 'Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way,' the insider told 'Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities. She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe – nothing naughty. 'She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don't know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.' Late last year the ex All That cast member hosted an art show, which was attended by Noah Cyrus. In December she collaborated with fashion designer Austin Babbitt, aka Asspizza, to pull off the event after working on and releasing a set of clothing designs together. The soiree was held at the PLANTS + SPACES store in Los Angeles and tickets sold out, according to a link shared on Amanda's Instagram account. In early October Bynes revealed that she'd worked on several pieces of clothing with Austin. Their collection included a $60 white T-shirt with a bold-lined black sketch of a woman resembling the retired actress. Other pieces offered on Babbitt's website at the time were three iterations of $100 shorts with original drawings.
