1947) is an Austrian-American politician, actor, filmmaker, businessman, author, and former


professional bodybuilder.[2] He served as the 38th Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. As of
2019, he is the most recent Republican governor of California.
Schwarzenegger began lifting weights at the age of 15. He won the Mr. Universe title at age 20 and
went on to win the Mr. Olympia contest seven times, remaining a prominent presence in
bodybuilding and writing many books and articles on the sport. The Arnold Sports Festival,
considered the second most important professional bodybuilding event in recent years,[3] is named
after him. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, as well as the
sport's most charismatic ambassador.[4]
Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film icon. His breakthrough film was
the sword-and-sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian in 1982, a box-office hit that resulted in a
sequel.[5] In 1984, he appeared in the title role of James Cameron's critically and commercially
successful science-fiction thriller film The Terminator. He subsequently played a similar Terminator
character in most of the franchise's later installments, Terminator 2: Judgment
Day (1991), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Genisys (2015),[5][6][7] and the
upcoming Terminator: Dark Fate (2019). He has appeared in a number of other successful films,
such as Commando (1985), The Running Man (1987), Predator (1987), Twins (1988), Total
Recall (1990), Kindergarten Cop (1990), and True Lies (1994).
Schwarzenegger married Maria Shriver, a niece of the 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy and
daughter of the 1972 Democratic vice presidential candidate and former Ambassador to
France Sargent Shriver, in 1986. They separated in 2011 after he admitted to having fathered a child
with another woman in 1997;[8] the divorce was finalized in 2017.
As a Republican, Schwarzenegger was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a special recall
election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis. He was sworn in on November 17, to serve the
remainder of Davis' term. He was then re-elected in the 2006 California gubernatorial election, to
serve a full term as governor.[9] In 2011, he completed his second term as governor and returned to
acting.
Schwarzenegger was nicknamed "the Austrian Oak" in his bodybuilding days, "Arnie" or "Schwarzy"
during his acting career, "The Governator" (a portmanteau of "Governor" and "Terminator") during
his political career, and is commonly known in Japan as "Shuwa-chan" (シュワちゃん).
