11 Celebrities That Are Completely Opposite To Their Characters
3. Arnold Schwarzenegger
On screen we love him for his tough roles as the Terminator and in Predator, but off screen he is an elected government official, a supporter of both human and animal rights and a genuinely nice man.
The Austrian bodybuilder turned Hollywood action hero then turned California Governor was always an unlikely eco-freak, with his five Hummer cars and his consumption habits. But after five years of pushing his Republican Party and his adopted country to fight global warming, it’s clear that this is something he does very well.
While President Bush did not uphold the accord on climate change, denying the problem in his first term and avoiding it in his second; Schwarzenegger has signed agreements with Canada, Mexico and the United Nations for cooperation on clean technology, while promoting greenhouse-gas reductions at home.
He has enacted the first statewide protocol on carbon emissions, the first statewide green building code and the first statewide fuel-efficiency standards. Bush has blocked his proposed tailpipe-emissions cuts, but Schwarzenegger has sued and 19 states will follow California’s lead.
Schwarzenegger was always a genius as a promoter, no matter what it was —bodybuilding, his blockbusters or even himself. He’s a product that sells. Now he’s a global promoter for the war on carbon, spreading the message that you don’t have to be a girly figure to help save the Earth.
He ridicules traditional environmentalists who want us to drive uncaring cars but live in environmental friendly environment. He’s selling a future of a clean environment and a green-tech economy with all the gadgets anyone could want.
“Guilt doesn’t work,” he told TIME. He’s had one of his Hummers tricked into running on biofuels and another on hydrogen.
