In response, Schwarzenegger expressed his perspective on what awaits us after death.

“It reminds me of Howard Stern’s question to me. ‘Tell me, governor, what happens to us when we die?’"

" I said, ‘Nothing. You’re 6 feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f–king liar,'” Schwarzenegger said in a conversation for Interview Magazine.

“I said, ‘We don’t know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff that I’m not an expert in, but I know that the body as we see each other now, we will never see each other again like that.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger, renowned for his role in "Predator," revealed that discussing death is a topic that makes him uneasy.

“When people talk about, ‘I will 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 part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don’t,” he said.

"Because I will f--king miss the s--- out of everything. To sit with you here, that will one day be gone?" he said.

"And to have fun and to go to the gym and to pump up, to ride my bike on the beach, to travel around, to see interesting things all over the world. What the f---?"

"Life! It’s the best!" DeVito responded.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California, mentioned that over the last twenty years, he has sadly lost around 15 friends from his bodybuilding days. 

This heartbreaking news made him reconsider his views on whether there is life after death.

“To me, heaven is where I put a person who I love dearly, who is kind, who is generous, who made a difference in my life and other people’s lives,” he explained.

“I keep them in a spot in my head, like that front row that you have of all of your friends. And you always have a good feeling when you think of them.”

During a recent revelation, the actor disclosed the heartbreaking incident when he deeply hurt his ex-wife Maria Shriver by confessing that he was the father of their housekeeper Mildred Baena's son, Joseph.

Schwarzenegger described this moment as profoundly impactful, causing immense pain to Shriver.

According to the Sun, in the upcoming three-part Netflix documentary "Arnold," Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals that Maria Shriver, who is 67 years old, approached him in 2011 about the matter through their marriage counselor.

This confrontation regarding the issue is discussed in the documentary.

“She wants to know if you’re the father of Joseph,” the counselor said regarding Joseph, who was born in 1997.

“I thought my heart stopped,” said the former movie star.

“And then I told the truth. Yes, Maria. Joseph is my son,” Schwarzenegger replied noting that his then-wife “was obviously crushed by that.”

"I grew up Catholic, I went to church, went to Catholic school, I learned the Bible and my catechisms," Schwarzenegger said in a YouTube video.

"And from those days I remember a phrase that is relevant today: a servant’s heart. It means serving something larger than yourself."

He added, "What we need right now from our elected representatives is a public servant’s heart. We need public servants that serve something larger than their own power or their own party."

"We need public servants who will serve higher ideals, the ideals in which this country was founded, the ideals that other countries look up to."
