Arnold posted a tribute to his best friend and “partner in crime” Franco Columbu.

The eulogy for the fellow actor and bodybuilding superstar is so heartfelt and honest that it’s difficult to keep the tears at bay.


Columbu, who is originally from Sardinia, passed away in a hospital there last Friday at the age of 78.

The man had become ill after going for a swim in the ocean, according to the media.

The former governor of California wrote online that he and Columbu “pushed each other”, “competed with each other”, and the pair “laughed at every moment along the way.”

The pair had first met each other in Germany, where they became friendly rivals.

The men were inseparable their friendship lasted 54 years

The two bodybuilders acted together in The Terminator, The Running Man, and Conan the Barbarian.

But Columbo was far more than a friend to Schwarznegger he was practically family.

Arnold named him his best man in 1986 when he got married to Maria Shriver.

People die every day..

RIP to the dead

Damn.. i feel cold rash all over me. What a tribute to a loved friend.

The realities of life. Time be born and time to die.

Rest well.

The Hollywood star said: 'I love you Franco.

I will always remember the joy you brought to my life and the twinkle in your eye that never disappeared.

You were my best friend'

'We grew and we learned and we loved.

My life was more fun, more colorful, and more complete because of you.'



The pair met in Munich 54 years ago and instantly struck up a friendship, going on to become training partners and starring together in the hit 1977 documentary Pumping Iron.

They competed at the Mr Olympia together in the 70s and early 80s.

Colombu was known as Arnold's squire, and the Austrian always claimed the Italian was the strongest man he ever knew.


Columbu is survived by his wife, Deborah, and their daughter, Maria.

Friendships like this are rare.

Especially in today's world, where everyone is too consumed with their own problems to make time for others. When our gadgets are more of our friends than the people we see around us, how do you celebrate a 54-year old friendship? Most people can barely do 10 years

Rest In Peace Mr. Columbus and my condolences to Arnold

How time flies. Lucky they found each other. Life's journey is too boring to not have someone to really share with. May God grant him good passage and bless his memories. Whew!

They were true with their work,


True with their words,


True with their Friendship..


True Friendship.

So hard to say good bye
He lived a good life

take heart because a good friend is better than a bad brother

Those muscles will make u think twice

May his soul rest in peace.

Using steroids will mess up your system up truly

No Nigerian will ever write this beautiful piece for his friend, bunch of black animals

Stop using bad words on Nigerians if you think your family are animals is okay. Pls don't make other races look down on Africa. Then another slavery will come. Because have not yet drilled your mouth or pack you like sardines in boat. You will not know how it felt.

He obviously was never jealous of his friend's many successes, that was why they lasted for so long.

If you have just one of this type of friend in your life, you are luckier than someone with a million dollars with vipers as friends.

Wow

So touching...

Friendship is not something you get in just a day, it's a seed you nurture with love, loyalty and respect that blossom to become the best thing you'd ever wish for in a lifetime.
