Action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger, who stars in the Netflix action-comedy series "FUBAR," recently launched its second season. During a promotional tour, he reflected on some of his past iconic roles. Appearing on "Watch What Happens Live" with renowned talk show host Andy Cohen, Schwarzenegger was asked which film earned him the most money, and his answer might surprise you.
Schwarzenegger admitted that his highest-earning film was actually "Twins." He stated, "Number one was 'Twins' because we had a low budget, we didn't take a lot of upfront salary, but we got the rights to the movie and the backend, and then we made a fortune." When Cohen pressed him on the exact amount, Schwarzenegger revealed it was over $40 million, adding, "Let's just put it this way, it made more money than any other movie I've ever done."
During the conversation, Schwarzenegger also revisited the planned sequel to "Twins," "Triplets," but the project was halted following the passing of original director Ivan Reitman, who was slated to return.

Schwarzenegger was also asked by a call-in viewer which "Terminator" film he considered the worst. He replied, "I would say the worst one was 'Terminator Salvation,' because I was governor at the time, and I wasn't in it. It makes sense, right? What kind of 'Terminator' movie is it without me? It's like if this show wasn't hosted by you [Cohen], it wouldn't succeed."
Cohen then jokingly asked Schwarzenegger if he had called the film crew from the governor's office to scold them, saying something like, "It's the governor, what the hell are you guys shooting?!" Schwarzenegger played along, quipping, "I called immediately. I told them I was going to pass a bill that would prohibit filming any terrible movie without at least one of the main actors returning. Don't even think about it (laughs)."
