Arnold Schwarzenegger and his career

It might be recalled that Arnold Schwarzenegger, 72 was a former professional bodybuilder. So a bodybuilder appreciating Chris’ gym moves is a great accomplishment for Chris. Arnold began weightlifting at age 15.

This Austria-born actor also served in the military in 1965. He was Mr. Universe at age 20 and became Mr. Olympia seven times. The Arnold Sports Festival is named after him.

Arnold was the Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. He started acting in 1969 when he portrayed the character of Hercules in Hercules in New York.

His breakthrough role was in 1982’s movie Conan the Barbarian which became a box-office hit. More action films came his way and he won accolades for his acting in many of them. He got a Hollywood Hall of Fame star.

In 2015, he replaced Donald Trump on the show The Celebrity Apprentice. Donald repeatedly criticized him and in 2017, Arnold decided to withdraw from the show.

He did this but not before taunting Donald Trump thus:

“Hey, Donald, I have a great idea. Why don’t we switch jobs? You take over TV because you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job, and then people can finally sleep comfortably again.”
