Arnold Schwarzenegger does not resonate with the alpha male tag

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Total Recall star was asked about his thoughts on the term alpha male. It is a popular term used by men who are dominant in social or professional situations. It is also used for men in positions of power.   

The Commando star shared that he does not believe in putting labels on people, as it promotes negativity. He said,

“I just don’t identify anyone with anything. The more we label people, the more people fight amongst each other, and the more there is negativity. I always see everyone as a person. It comes from my bodybuilding days. Everyone onstage was equal. It didn’t matter what color or religion you were. If you’re Black and lost 200 pounds or if you’re Chinese, it makes no fucking difference. This is how I try to operate — not that I’m perfect, or that I haven’t been prejudiced or disrespectful. I’m trying.”
