“A highly placed person at one of the two studios that funded that film had a brilliant idea and called me up and said, ‘Are you sitting down?'” Cameron said.

Schwarzenegger also claimed he had a painting of himself as the action flick star that initially featured Simpson’s face. He said Cameron painted the piece., noting that the statement was “flat-out wrong.”

Cameron, who co-wrote and directed “The Terminator,” said at the time: “I didn’t make the painting for him. I made the painting for us, for the production, of him as the Terminator.” “There’s no O.J. under that painting… O.J. Simpson was never in the mix at all. That was rejected out of hand before it ever got any traction,” he continued.

The “Avatar: The Way of Water” director refuted claims that Simpson was going to appear in his 1984 action film.
