Arnold Schwarzenegger's unconventional 'rich', 'luxurious' upbringing
Los Angeles, Jan 28 (IANS)
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger considers himself lucky to have spent his childhood in Austria where he was able to grow up in a playground "that in America people have to create".
The 65-year-old admits that during his growing up year, he found his surroundings boring, but feels that he had an upbringing that one can't get anywhere else.
"Back then I thought there was nothing going on in this boring town and I was always complaining about it," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Schwarzenegger as saying.
"Now I see it and think: 'Look at the luxury I had'. I was able to grow up in a playground that in America people have to create," he added.
He loved showing his children the rustic tasks he had to do as a child.
"My kids, when they went over to visit, they were like, 'Oh my god, look at this.' I got a can and I milked a cow. I told them that I used to do it at six every morning ... Today, I look at it as a rich life ... I grew up much more normal because of that environment," he said.
