Arnold Schwarzenegger Got an Insurance Policy for His Eyebrows

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Terminator is undoubtedly his biggest hit ever, as it not only formed a base for him to stand on, but it also opened up numerous paths for him to strive on as he continued to star in blockbuster after blockbuster. There are numerous rumors surrounding the Terminator but none of them are as weird as having an insurance policy for his eyebrows. While filming for the movie, The Terminator directed by James Cameron, Schwarzenegger was legit terrified during a scene he had to shoot where his character runs over a car that was lit on fire.

Now it is not uncommon among celebrities to take out an insurance policy for the safety of their body, in case it was harmed during filming but never has a situation occurred where one had his eyebrows safeguarded. This situation of him getting an insurance policy was just like his films, a bit over the top, but no one can blame him if he wants the legal authorities to take over if he was injured or harmed while filming.
