“I didn’t like the wrestler… you know, from Austria. What’s his name? … Schwarzenegger, yeah, didn’t care for him,” said Margolyes, who in addition to playing Professor Sprout in the “Potter” films, is known for her work in “The Age of Innocence,” and more recently, “Call the Midwife.”
“He’s a bit too full of himself,” she added of Schwarzenegger. “And I don’t care for him at all. He’s a Republican, which I don’t like. And he was actually quite rude. He farted in my face.”
The alleged incident happened while the two were filming “End of Days” in L.A., with Margolyes saying that the former California governor “did it deliberately, right in my face.”
“I was playing Satan’s sister and he was killing me [in the scene]. So he had me in a position where I couldn’t escape lying on the floor,” Margolyes recalled. “And he just farted. It wasn’t on film. It was in one of the pauses. But I haven’t forgiven him for it.”
“End of Days” actress Miriam Margolyes courageously came forward this week to share her heartwrenching tale of Arnold Schwarzenegger assaulting her with a vicious air biscuit in 1999.
“He farted in my face,” Margolyes said on a recent episode of news.com.au’s I’ve Got News for You podcast. “Now, I fart, of course, I do – but I don’t fart in people’s faces,” the victim, clearly shaken, explained. “He did it deliberately, right in my face.”
