Arnold Schwarzenegger, 75, reveals he doesn’t believe in heaven

Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed in a candid new interview that he doesn’t believe in heaven and will never feel comfortable with the idea of ​​death.

The Terminator star, 75, who has previously spoken about tailoring workouts to ‘stay alive’, told Interview magazine that he believes that we will not see loved ones after death and that his idea of ​​heaven keeps a person in his memory.

He said, “It reminds me of Howard Stern asking me. “Tell me, governor, what will happen to us when we die?” I said, “Nothing. You’re six feet under water. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a terrible liar.”

“I said, ‘We don’t know what happens to the soul and all that spiritual stuff that I’m not an expert on, but I know that the body as we see each other now, we’ll never see each other like that again. Except in a or other fantasy.”

“When people talk about, ‘I’ll see them again in heaven,’ it sounds so good, but the reality is that we won’t see each other again after we’re gone. That’s the sad thing. I know people are comfortable with death, but I’m not.’

The action icon said losing 15 friends from his bodybuilding days over the past 20 years changed his view of the afterlife.

He said, “For me, heaven is where I put a person I love dearly, who is kind, who is generous, who has made a difference in my life and the lives of other people.

“I keep them in a place in my head, like that front row you have of all your friends. And you always feel good when you think about it.’

This comes after Arnold discussed aging in the public eye and gave insight into his grueling exercise regimen in a candid new interview with Men’s health.

The star who has displayed a chiseled physique well into his senior years showed off his workout regimen at the legendary Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach, saying he uses the weights to “protect himself and stay alive” after several heart and knee operations.

He talked about his training motivation and said: ‘I protect my body and do therapy training at the same time. I do faster, lighter but correct exercises and try to stay young.

Proud of co-parenting: Maria Shriver and Arnold were married in 1986 before divorcing in 2011. They have four children together: Katherine, 32, Christina, 30, Patrick, 28, and Christopher, 24

‘I train to stay alive, to make my films. I come in here and 25-30 sets in half an hour.’

“When you exercise, not only is your body pumped up and stimulated with blood, it’s your mind, too. And you have a much more positive outlook on the day and life if you’ve already had a pump behind you, or a bike ride, or a run, or a tennis match, or whatever sport you’re into.

“My body and bodybuilding have given me everything. I don’t know, if I hadn’t started bodybuilding, if I had a clear idea of ​​where I want to go in life. I don’t know if I got the message that you have to do your best to get somewhere, to be successful.”

His workout routine includes five sets of machine preacher curls designed to warm up his “fragile” elbows, five sets of machine dips, and five sets of overhead presses to train his shoulders—and ends each set with a five-second iso-hold squeeze .
