He spilled that director Joel Schumacher, was so crushed by the brutal reviews during press and when his areas that he hid in his hotel room, refusing to, come out. O'Donnell also admitted he never shared a single on-camera moment with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who only shot close-ups while the spot-on double handled. The rest, social media lit up, but not over the gossip fans, fixated on O'Donnell's transformed look, with comments like he resembles a local realtor, or even a turtle, while others trolled hard or defended him, insisting he hasn't changed a bit. The flick bombed, despite pulling in $238 million worldwide, against a 120 million budget, killing sequel. Plans in sidelineing?
