10 Least Convincing Nerd Characters In Cinema

4. Arnold Schwarzenegger - Junior

Arnold Schwarzenegger is pregnant. That€™s literally the only joke in Junior, but that didn€™t stop them releasing a feature length movie about it. The success of Twins can be blamed, as audiences were apparently eager on seeing a reteam of Danny DeVito and Arnie, and this idea is the best all the great minds in Hollywood could muster. They must have figured - correctly - that watching Danny DeVito getting pregnant and giving birth would be too harrowing a sight for most people, so Arnie drew the short straw. But naturally in a role like that Arnie couldn€™t be his usual cigar chomping badass, so instead they made him into a scientist. He€™s just a regular, run of the mill scientist with nothing out of the ordinary. A scientist with glasses, a boring haircut and a bodybuilder physique. Arnold can be accepted as a robot from the future or a cop fighting the devil, but as a geneticist involved in ground breaking research is a leap too far. It is admittedly funny hearing him talk about complicated medical terminology like he had any idea what he was talking about though.
