Arnie's orgy shocker

Los Angeles - Arnold Schwarzenegger was forced to defend his wild youth on Thursday after a 25-year-old interview was published in which he admitted to smoking marijuana and taking part in an orgy with other weightlifters.
Schwarzenegger, who went from body-builder to Hollywood action hero and now wants to be governor of California, said: "I never lived my life to be a politician, I never lived my life to be the governor of California."
"Obviously I made statements that are ludicrous and crazy and all outrageous and all those things, because that is the way I was."
Just when he was trying to widen his appeal, candidate Schwarzenegger became the talk of the town after an interview with Oui magazine published in August 1977 was rediscovered by the website www.smokinggun.com.
In the interview, he admitted: "Body builders party a lot, and once, in Gold's - the gym in Venice, California, where all the top guys train - there was a black girl who came out naked. Everybody jumped on her and took her upstairs, where we all got together."
Asked if he was talking about a "gang-bang", Schwarzenegger answered, "Yes, but not everybody, just the guys who can fuck in front of other guys. Not everybody can do that. Some think that they don't have a big-enough cock, so they can't get a hard-on.
"Having chicks around is the kind of thing that breaks up the intense training. It gives you relief, and then afterward you go back to the serious stuff."
Schwarzenegger also said that he had used "grass and hash" but "no hard drugs".
He gave the interview eight years after arriving in the United States and was aiming to become an actor.
Analysts said they did not think the reappearance of the 25-year-old interview would affect Schwarzenegger's chances in the vote.
