We spoke to documentary maker Lesley Chilcott about the new three-part series
Arnold Schwarzenegger
What follows is an intriguing three-part documentary series, shot over the course of two years with the full cooperation of Schwarzenegger, now 75, that attempts to understand the drive and ambitions of the cigar-chomping multi-hyphenate. Now days away from release, we spoke to Chilcott about the process of capturing an extraordinary life:When you started the project, what aspect of Arnold's life did you find the most intriguing?.
It was important to me that no subject to me was off the table. In order for this documentary to be interesting, it has to have two things: we have to show people a side of him they haven’t seen before and we have to hit every topic. I can’t say he was excited about it, but he did have an innate understanding that he needed to talk about everything.
We had to work up to it. It wasn’t the first interview. It was quite sombre. It opened my eyes. There’s that Marcel Proust quote: ‘The real voyage of discovery consists not of new landscapes but of having new eyes’. He apologises and he’s sorry in a way, he’s paying for what he did to his family [Schwarzenegger separated from his wife, Maria Shriver, in 2011 after news broke that he had fathered a child with the family's housekeeper] but he can’t utter the words ‘I made a mistake’.
