At 75 years old, is still built like a machine.
However, the star apparently doesn’t feel as confident striking a pose as he used to in his bodybuilding days.
The former Governor of California is far from putting his action-packed days behind him, starring in a new series called .
Nonetheless, in a new interview, he opened up about how his perception of himself may have changed over the years.
Speaking to as the cover star for the magazine’s July/August 2023 Influence Issue, Arnold was asked whether he still hits his old classic bodybuilding poses decades after finding fame thanks to his unique physique.
‘Yes, but only in the bathroom, because sometimes it makes me cry,’ he replied. Can we take Arnie’s word for it? We may never know.
Nowadays, the movie star’s motivation to train is different than it was in his younger years, as now he works out to ‘stay alive’ and ‘to be able to do my movies’, he explained.
As for what his message would be to the younger generation pursuing the bodybuilding profession, Arnie issued a word of caution concerning their methods when it comes to looking after their bodies.
‘Yes, we are at a time now where we always look for the easy way to make money, the fast way to get rich, the easy way to be an influencer. Anytime you abuse the body, you’re going to regret it,’ he stressed.
‘So I just want young people to know that I have seen people getting kidney transplants and suffering tremendously from it.’
, which launches on Netflix on Thursday May 25, marks Arnold’s first ever lead role in a scripted live-action TV series.
He stars opposite Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro, with the father-and-daughter duo discovering that they’ve both been leading secret lives as CIA operatives.
The trailer looked high-octane to say the least, with a cast also featuring Jay Baruchel, Fortune Feimster, Fabiana Udenio, Milan Carter, Travis Van Winkle, and Gabriel Luna.
The July/August 2023 issue of Men’s Health—the Influence Issue—hits newsstands nationwide on June 27.‌
