Schwarzenegger salutes Ivan Reitman, who ‘took a chance on this Austrian action-hero’

A “devastated” Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday paid tribute to late director Ivan Reitman, saluting the “Animal House” and “Ghostbusters” filmmaker as a legend who “wrote a chunk” of the Austrian action hero’s Hollywood story.

“Ivan Reitman is a legend. In Hollywood, he was bigger than life. He was comedy royalty,” Schwarzenegger, 74, wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of him, his “Twins” co-star Danny DeVito and Reitman.

“In life, he was a mensch — a wonderful father and husband, a fantastic friend, a great human being. He was kind, he was generous, he was smart as hell, and he was always there for you,” he added.
