Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the biggest faces in the action movie industry. From heavy lifting to heavy stunts, he has done it all. With a physique that towers above the rest, he is a force to be reckoned with. However, the hunk also has a softer side to his character. This soft side also loves working with children. This was evident in his words when he once expressed his affection for an action-comedy film that he worked on in 1990. 

This particular movie revolves around Schwarzenegger’s character, who learns to navigate the challenges posed by a group of endearing, mischievous children.

Kindergarten Cop was a project that Arnold Schwarzenegger thoroughly enjoyed working on from beginning to end. It was a change for him to play a role that deviated from his usual action-hero image. It also helped him play a genre that he least expected: comedy. The movie blended thoroughly the elements of action and comedy that served as a treat to both Schwarzenegger and the audience. However, the now 76-year-old reveals that he is more content knowing that the spotlight was not on him but on his adorable little co-stars!

In an interview with Hollywood Outbreak in 1990, Schwarzenegger recalled how he genuinely loved going to the Kindergarten set. He commended the child actors who shared the screen with him in the film, describing them as “fantastic” and “very professional.”

The Terminator star expressed delight in seeing these young talents shine brighter than himself in the movie, emphasizing that being outshone by them didn’t bother him at all. Rather, he has even gone on record to say that filming Kindergarten Cop with his little buddies felt like “being in heaven.”
