Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a renowned Austrian-American actor, filmmaker, entrepreneur, politician, and professional bodybuilder. He is famous for his high-intensity action films and has served as California's 38th Governor in 2003-2011.
Arnold won the Mr. Universe title at 20 years old and the Mr. Olympia title several times, making him one of the greatest bodybuilders in history. In fact, The Arnold Sports Festival, the second-most-important bodybuilding event, is named after him.
He won his first Mr. Olympia title in New York City at age 23. Then, he went on to win the same title seven more times. In 1977, his bodybuilding guide and autobiography Arnold: The Education of A Bodybuilder became a massive hit.
After retiring from bodybuilding, Arnold became a Hollywood star with his breakthrough in Conan The Barbarian. He starred in more hit films, such as The Terminator and Predator. He founded the film production company Oak Productions.
As an additional feather on his cap, Arnold was elected as California's Governor in October 2003, replacing then-Governor Gray Davis in a recall election. He served the remainder of Gray's term and was reelected in the gubernatorial race in 2006. His term ended in 2011, and he returned to acting right after.
He's amassed an impressive follower count of 25M on Facebook, 24.7M on Instagram, 6.1M on TikTok, 5.2M on Twitter, 1.39M on YouTube, and 15.3K on Pinterest.
