Schwarzenegger attending Andy Vajna’s funeral in Budapest

The Hungarian film producer and media mogul’s best and closest friend Arnold Schwarzenegger is reportedly giving a speech at Vajna’s funeral to commemorate the legendary producer’s life and work in the film industry.

Blikk reported that the movie star said yes when he was asked to attend the funeral at the Fiumei Cemetery in Budapest.

Blikk also got the information that the representatives of the Hungarian government and several big names from the film industry will attend the funeral.

Schwarzenegger and Vajna were not only colleagues but best friends for thirty years and that is why he was asked to give a speech. Vajna reported several times that he made many new friends in Hollywood.

He first met with Schwarzenegger in 1990 while he was shooting the movie Total Recall and their friendship has not been affected by time or distance. Schwarzenegger visited Vajna in Hungary many times and he was shocked when the Hungarian producer suddenly passed away. He commemorated him on his official Twitter account.

Another close friend of Vajna was Antonio Banderas who he met on the set of the 1996 musical film Evita which also starred Madonna. During the past years, they not only worked together but Banderas even attended Vajna’s wedding in 2013.
