Arnold Schwarzenegger Quotes About Gym, Get to the Chopper, Funny, Movies, Predator, Strength, Motivational, Terminator & Success! After becoming a bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger became a Hollywood star and, later, California’s governor. On July 30, 1947, Arnold Schwarzenegger was born near Graz, Austria. Schwarzenegger had a rough childhood. Gustav, his alcoholic father, was a Nazi Party member and favored Arnold’s older brother over his gangly, less athletic younger son.

In addition to bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger appeared in movies such as Reg Park’s B-level Hercules films. In light of his rise to the top of the bodybuilding world, Schwarzenegger was bound to move onto the big screen. For his performance in Stay Hungry (1976), Schwarzenegger got a Golden Globe Award for Best Newcomer. Schwarzenegger’s size and strength made him an ideal actor for action movies. Conan the Barbarian (1982) and its sequel, Conan the Destroyer (1984), were among his most famous films from the 1980s.

In addition to starring in The Terminator (1984), Schwarzenegger reprised the role in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) as well as Terminator 3- Rise of the Machines (2003). During the 2003 California governor’s race, Schwarzenegger threw his hat in the ring and won a special election seat. Nevertheless, Schwarzenegger made progress in improving the state’s finances, promoting new businesses, and protecting the environment. He easily won re-election in 2006. Former US President Ronald Reagan was Schwarzenegger’s greatest inspiration throughout his political career.

However, Schwarzenegger’s second term in office was far less smooth as he dealt with a difficult financial situation. In January 2011, he left office to pursue a career in the entertainment Industry. During that year, Schwarzenegger announced plans to direct an animated series based on his time in office with comic book Stan Lee.
