6. Not the first actor to become Governor of California
As most know, Schwarzenegger was the Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. He was not the first actor to achieve this. In 1966, Ronald Reagan, who was also an actor, became the Governor of California. However, through his background, he took it a step further than Schwarzenegger: Reagan also became President of the USA.
This success Schwarzenegger will not be able to break, as he was born in Austria, which is why he cannot become president.
7. He originally did not want to say his most iconic quote
The most famous line from his roles is I’ll be back
from Terminator. However, Schwarzenegger originally did not want to say this line. He thought a robot would rather say I will be back
. He also said this to director James Cameron.
They discussed it a bit until Cameron supposedly said to him: What does the damn script say? Then say the damn line. I’m not correcting your acting, so don’t correct my script. What is it with you, Arnold?
