FOREVER<br />

12<br />

In a sm<strong>all</strong> village in the south-west of Romania, I found this bust of<br />

<strong>Arnold</strong> <strong>Schwarzenegger</strong>, which was created in July 1997 by Prof.<br />

Alexander Diepold. It measures 2.25 m in height and weighs 400<br />

kg. The chosen material was stainless steel, which guarantees the<br />

work of art a lifespan of about 40,000 years.<br />

Like everything else in the life of <strong>Arnold</strong> <strong>Schwarzenegger</strong>, this statue<br />

is an extreme. To leave the sm<strong>all</strong> village Thal to go out into the world<br />

and to become this successful, sounds almost like a modern<br />

fairytale. His impressive endurance and strong will - as hard as<br />

stainless steel - have made him a superstar and idol for millions.<br />
