Part of John is the letters 'oh' David

I'm afraid not, remember it's totally a 12 letter anagram involving the following letters and an anagram indicator:

Make up artist: "I'd gone!"

I reckon it's his dad Arnie actually David, as Schwarzenneger is nicknamed the 'Austrian Oak'. If so, you have it

I must admit I didn't get the oak reference which is why I was a bit doubful about it.

A Prince and sounds like a good piano player. ( ancient cricketer)

This one is a bit obscure. Initials W A, think of a famous pianist of the 60s etc.

Is it William Atewell?

Prince = William

Good = well

Don't get the pianist sounding like 'Atte' bit though??

Correct TC. Ignore the good , but there was a pianist called Winifred Atwell, you may be too young to remember her! She is on Google somewhere.

Yep, well done David
