How times have changed.

A post shared by Arnold Schwarzenegger (@schwarzenegger) on Jan 15, 2016 at 11:31am PST

Dalam foto itu memang terlihat Arnold Schwarzenegger sedang tidur di depan patung bertuliskan namanya. Ia nampak berbaring dengan menggunakan sleeping bag atau kantung tidur.

Namun, apa yang sesungguhnya terjadi tak seperti yang diviralkan.

Selain itu, laman www.en.dailypakistan.com.pk turut menjelaskan dalam artikelnya yang berjudul Was Arnold Schwarzenegger denied accommodation at hotel? FAKE news debunked!.

Dalam artikel tersebut dijelaskan jika tidak benar Arnold Schwarzenegger ditolak oleh hotel yang berada di California. Tulisan itu dibuat pada 21 Agustus 2017.

Ada banyak hal yang jadi bukti bahwa unggahan itu palsu belaka.

Pertama, patung setinggi 8 kaki (24 meter), di mana Arnold terpotret sedang tidur mengenakan kantung tidur di depannya, berada di Greater Columbus Convention Center, Ohio, bukan hotel seperti yang disebutkan dalam kabar yang viral.

Kedua, gambar itu diposting oleh aktor terkenal itu sendiri di akun instagramnya.

Selain tulisan, 'How Times Have Changed', tak ada pernyataan atau narasi lain yang menyertainya.

Kondisi keuangan Arnold Schwarzenegger pada saat itu juga diketahui dalam kondisi baik. Sang aktor diketahui menyumbangkan USD 100.000 kepada Simon Wiesenthal Center. Tak ada indikasi bahwa ia jatuh miskin apalagi sampai 'menggelandang'.

Berikut isi artikel tersebut:

"Austrian-American actor and former professional bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger became the centre of social media over the weekend when his picture showing him lying beneath his statue stumped the internet.

The picture which was posted by Hollywood starlet back in January 2016 with a caption: How Times Have Changed got the attention of social media buffs who were duped into believing a completely fake story which was well orchestrated and presented.

The fake story carried the same caption and picture and detailed that the famous actor was denied a room at the same hotel, in front of which his statue was installed.

It also stated that the governor of California who owned the hotel welcomed him at that time and the officials gave an open offer to him that Arnold could come any time to have his room reserved in his name.

The story, that was widely shared owing to the emotional element in it concluded with the line that Arnold was refused accommodation in the hotel after some time because he was not in such position of fame that led to Arnold sleep outside the same building that once honoured him.

However, with a few clicks and a knack for research, it can be easily divulged that the whole ‘Hotel saga’ episode was fake.

Firstly, the 8-foot-high statue, beneath which Arnold ‘posed’ for a picture was positioned in front of Greater Columbus Convention Center, Ohio, not any such ‘hotel’ as mentioned in click bait.

Secondly, the picture was posted by the famous actor himself on his Instagram handle with the caption: How Times Have Changed. Nothing else other than these four words were stated.

Lastly, when it was a convention centre and ‘NOT A HOTEL’ how could the whole report webbed around the hotel be considered authenticated.

For those who wonder the stature and recognition of celebrated actor should know that Hollywood giant donated $100,000 to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, last week and there’s simply no question of him living a miserable life.

Moreover, the actor himself served as the 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2010.

The conclusion is that everything making rounds on social media is not verified. Whenever you come across any EMOTIONAL story, do give a few minutes to Google to get it approved or debunked.

Arnold! Keep soaring high and inspire millions, We Love you and realize that you are above such hoaxes!"

Tak hanya itu, laman www.eonline.com juga mengunggah artikel serupa. Tulisan itu bahkan sudah dibuat pada 15 Januari 2016 dengan judul Here Is Arnold Schwarzenegger Sleeping Next to a Statue of His Bodybuilder Self in Ohio.

"Rest assured, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be first in line for...

Hmm.

The movie star and former governor of California poked a little fun at himself today while in Columbus, Ohio, pretending (we assume) to take a snooze next to the big bronze statue of his bodybuilder self that lives outside the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

"How times have changed," Schwarzenegger captioned a photo on Instagram in which the scruff-sporting star bundled up in a sleeping bag in front of the statue, which was installed permanently in the capital city, sight of the annual Arnold Fitness Festival, in 2014.

Somehow, between the leather jacket and the immaculate sleeping bag, we think the Terminator star is doing OK.

"You're our friend," then-Mayor Michael B. Coleman told Schwarzenegger at the dedication in October 2014. "We want to memorialize that forever in front of our convention center."

Whether that extended to include an invitation to camp out anytime...

The actor is actually in town shooting 478, based on a true story about the aftermath of the July 2002 midair crash of two planes in Germany. Schwarzenegger plays a man whose wife and kids were aboard one of the jets.

Apparently Schwarzenegger had a say in where the movie was shot, because when local news outlets reported that the production was coming to Ohio, officials said the star chose Columbus because of his longtime love for the city.

But the least they could do is put him up in a hotel. You'd never catch Sylvester Stallone napping on the Rocky steps in Philadelphia! (But if you do, please send pics.)"

Seperti diunggah situs www.eonline.com, Arnold Schwarzenegger berada di kota itu dalam rangka syuting Film 478 (yang kemudian ganti judul jadi Aftermath).

Film tersebut dibuat berdasarkan kisah nyata tentang peristiwa jatuhnya dua pesawat pada Juli 2002 di Jerman.

Schwarzenegger berperan sebagai pria yang istri dan anak-anaknya berada di salah satu kapal terbang yang celaka.

Foto yang diunggah akun Facebook bernama Harry Isnawan memang benar adanya. Namun, keterangan foto yang menyertainya sama sekali tidak tepat. 

Tidak benar jika Arnold Schwarzenegger ditolak oleh hotel di California. Ia di sana dalam rangka syuting Film 478 yang kemudian ganti judul jadi Aftermath).
