 Schwarzenegger likes to call his opponents "Girlie-men" and Beatty, once Hollywood's most famous "ladies man," says he is unafraid of either the nickname or the movie action hero who happily killed an alligator in one scene and declared, "You're luggage."
"You can call me a girlie-man or a stooge, or you can say my last picture didn't make money. That may be true," Beatty recently told the New York Times.
He adds that his criticisms of Schwarzenegger as a bully using "fake issues, fake events and fake crowds" to stir up right-wing causes were also true.
Beatty, a Democrat, has toyed for years with the idea of entering politics but is famously unable to make up his mind – no one shoots more takes in a movie than director Beatty. As an actor, he once kept on doing the same scene long after the director went home to bed.
