Arnold Schwarzenegger Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

When Jim Cameron says NO to Arnold Schwarzenegger the rest is history.

[creativemusicmakingworksho]

Notice how Schwarzenegger talks so little about himself and praises all of his colleagues? A class act.

[jeffwilson]

The man has lived a dozen lifetimes in his 70 years.

[ZealSeraph]

I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that someone actually told Arnold that he would never be a leading man. It's pretty inspiring to know that against all odds he managed to prove them wrong by becoming one of, if not THE biggest action star of all time.

"Anyone else think they can move to Austria, learn the language, become famous for working out, become a movie star, marry into their royalty, then hold public office?"
- Bill Burr

[gimmeadog]

I love that despite how famous he is and how many people he met, he can still name drop the guys he worked with 40+ years ago.

[emjayy]

What I like about him: *everything*

What I hate about him: *he's getting old and it's hard to see him go*

[maxryan]

There will never be an actor more iconic than arnold. He could play a killer robot, a commando, danny devitos twin, the first pregnant man, he can do comedy, he can do action, he ca do serious. An on top of that, there isn’t a more instantly recognizable face and voice than his.

[starboys]

I think his gravestone should read
"I'll be back"

[miquonranger]

fun fact: OJ Simpson was considered for the role of the Terminator but James Cameron didn’t think he’d be believable as a killer

[acetrigger]

"i'm not afraid of Failure."

the sole reason why this man's carrer blew up so much... even his bad movies are great, cause he just gave it his all.

[Indeeee]

Arnold Schwarzenegger as T-800 is top 5 best casting choice ever.

[zangeejoe]

The way Arnie talks about his co stars an directors it’s like he is not a big star. He is so respectful. Legend

[timephire]

Me; "I think i'm gonna click off early."


Arnold; "Stick around."

[andyc]

For me his accent is what helped him become an even bigger star. It's unique and iconic.

[mengchii]

I love how happy he is to tell his story about the movies he made. He is one of my favorites.

[melissag]

He’s 73 but seems healthy as ever. God I hope he lives another 30 years. He’s one of the all time greats.

[maclariviere]

“I’m not afraid to fail”. Proceeds to succeed in everything he touches.

[rihazzahir]

Honestly Arnold’s acting in T2 was spectacular and the movie itself is a timeless masterpiece

[undone]

Terminator 2 is still one of the best movies of all time. I was about 8 and a half when I saw it in the movie theater. Blew my mind. Still holds up to this day.
