Claim 12: “Arnold Schwarzenegger, 79”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms Arnold Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947. As of 2024/2025, he is 77 or 78. However, one web search result explicitly refers to him as 'Arnold Schwarzenegger, 79'. Given the birth date of July 30, 1947, he turns 78 in July 2025. The claim of 79 is slightly off based on the birth date, but the evidence provided includes a source explicitly stating he is 79.
