Arnold Schwarzenegger's ability to keep his sexual exploits secret from his wife Maria Shriver has been likened to the Pakistani military's hiding of Osama bin Laden for over five years by an opinion piece in a newspaper.

"That Schwarzenegger could keep his paternal exploits secret from his wife for more than 10 years is as remarkable as the fact that Osama bin Laden was secretly housed within the Pakistani military community of Abbottabad for five years," said the Los Angeles Times, which exposed the former California governor's love child with his housemaid Mildred Baena.
