TIR(ealized): There are people too young to remember The Governator.
Before that he was really into body building
He also was an actor.
Never heard of him, he must not have been very successful.
Not really, he was in a few small films but quit early on
Might know him by his pseudonym Arnold Strong that he used in his first movie.
Don't worry, he'll be back
Oh yes, he was the Govenator.
You can't be serious.
Ronald Reagan?
The Actor!?
The actor?! Then who was lieutenant governor, Jerry Lewis?!
I’m Arnold Braunschweiger the famous actor!
Also married a Kennedy
And cheated on her with the maid.
I know that mostly because he was really loudly against "violent" and "mindless" video games. Ya know, the guy who starred in and directed dozens of violent and mindless movies.
Why downvote? Op might be too young to know Arnold being a governor. Where is that xkcd about the lucky 10000 or something?
So, too young to know he was a governor but old enough to know who he is… hmm idk
Why not? Some movies are timeless. You see a new terminator movie every few years. A new predator movie came just a couple of years ago. OP might not know him from his lesser known movies, or that he was an actual body builder who won awards, or that he was a governor with a scandal, but Arnold is a big name in action hero movies that still hold up these days.
body builder who won awards
Nice way to downplay his accomplishments. He is considered as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.
I accept your counter argument
I only know about him because of memes
Thank you I don't understand why everyone is downvoting this. I am from Gen Z and I was not born in America
and I was not born in America
Neither was Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's from Austria originally; hence the thick accent.
