Schwarzenegger fights midlife crisis with a donkey and pig

Arnold Schwarzenegger has adopted a donkey and a pig to help cope with a midlife crisis, reports Kursiv Uzbekistan. According to his son Patrick, the 77-year-old actor now also has a pony, several dogs, and other animals.

Patrick said his father has always loved animals, and in recent years, his collection of pets has grown. He believes caring for animals helps the actor feel calmer and happier.

Patrick compared his father to Doctor Dolittle, the famous character from Hugh Lofting’s books who could talk to and heal animals.

Photos of Schwarzenegger with his animals frequently appear in lifestyle magazines. Many are surprised by his unique choices — alongside dogs, he keeps a donkey, a pig, and other unusual creatures.

TV host Rob Lowe, 61, told Patrick that he is now also thinking about getting pets of his own.
