There was something about how Arnold would say the letter “V” that really endeared him to the Japanese – it spun off a whole ad campaign.
In the 90’s Schwarzenegger did a series of commercials for Nissin (makers of Cup Noodle). Each one had him performing ridiculous feats of strength with ease and a smile on his face.
And of course he did a couple of canned coffee commercials for a minor brand called, Go West.
