Para 3.

Arnie hails from Austria, not Australia.

Yesterday Arnold did an AMA, for non Redditors that's Ask Me Anything and it involves interesting people coming on and inviting questions. Obama did one late last year.

This question was really a statement;

“Arnold, you were an inspiration to my father who died 9 years ago. He framed your cover of Vanity Fair magazine, signed it himself, put it on his desk, and told everyone that you signed it for the entirety of his career as a trainer. I just wanted to let you know that you were a very personal hero for my father and if he were alive today, he'd be first in line to see every one of your movies.”

The poster now intends to frame it and put it on his desk.

Reddit can be an acquired taste and is certainly not for everyone but It does afford insights into people that we might not otherwise get and after Arnold's effort I can understand why he is so liked.

I'm glad the author only sometimes teaches English. Might I suggest he stops teaching English if this article is an example of his ability. A mish-mash of tenses, stating with the past tense in Austria then inexplicably switching to clunky historical present in California, and the whole thing as dull, apparently, as the book he is reviewing. Or was that the point?
