Ian Halperin: 'Arnold Schwarzenegger Makes Tiger Woods Look Like the Virgin Mary'

Ian Halperin, known for his unauthorized biographies of celebrities like Brangelina and Michael Jackson, has released a new book on Arnold Schwarzenegger, titled 'The Governator: From Muscle Beach to His Quest for the White House, the Improbable Rise of Arnold Schwarzenegger.'

As a preview of his latest work, Halperin talked about Schwarzenegger's steroid-addled bodybuilding past, his alleged womanizing ways and sexual assault, in an interview with Moviefone (via Popeater). Check out some highlights:

I know that Schwarzenegger has admitted to using steroids in the past. Did you uncover anything more in terms of that?
First off, I gotta say he's nothing like Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds, who hide behind closed doors or lie in front of the grand jury. Arnold comes clean, and is, at least to some extent, honest. What I did learn is that Arnold is a great businessman. He always wanted to be rich. What was shocking was that he was actually selling steroids to other bodybuilders to make a profit. He was no fool.

What about in terms of the womanizing/sexual assault rumors?
In a nutshell, Arnold Schwarzenegger makes Tiger Woods look like the Virgin Mary, and I'm not kidding you. This guy has been a notorious sex addict, and finding women who'll come out and admit to sleeping with him is like finding snow in Toronto in February. It ain't too difficult.

I forget - how many kids does Schwarzenegger have?
Four. That we know of. [Laughs]

Did you learn anything about Schwarzenegger that shocked you?
What shocked me the most are his thoughts on the Republican Party today. He said he believes it's been hijacked by extremists and the religious right. He says he hates what's happened to the Party. He also said he loves George Bush, Sr. but despises George W. Bush. He always asks "How George and Barbara could raise such an idiot."
