Rhynoplaz,

TIR(ealized): There are people too young to remember The Governator.

CarlsIII,

I know that mostly because he was really loudly against “violent” and “mindless” video games. Ya know, the guy who starred in and directed dozens of violent and mindless movies.

DarkThoughts,

You can't be serious.

BuddyTheBeefalo,

He also was an actor.

glad_cat,

Never heard of him, he must not have been very successful.

Don't worry, he'll be back

FilthyShrooms,

Not really, he was in a few small films but quit early on

Aurenkin,

Might know him by his pseudonym Arnold Strong that he used in his first movie.

all-knight-party,

Oh yes, he was the Govenator.

nieceandtows,

Why downvote? Op might be too young to know Arnold being a governor. Where is that xkcd about the lucky 10000 or something?

GigglyBobble,
nieceandtows,

Perfect, thanks!

MagneticFusion,

Thank you I don’t understand why everyone is downvoting this. I am from Gen Z and I was not born in America

cobysev,

and I was not born in America

Neither was Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’s from Austria originally; hence the thick accent.

So, too young to know he was a governor but old enough to know who he is… hmm idk

MagneticFusion,

I only know about him because of memes

nieceandtows,

Why not? Some movies are timeless. You see a new terminator movie every few years. A new predator movie came just a couple of years ago. OP might not know him from his lesser known movies, or that he was an actual body builder who won awards, or that he was a governor with a scandal, but Arnold is a big name in action hero movies that still hold up these days.

GigglyBobble,

body builder who won awards

Nice way to downplay his accomplishments. He is considered as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.

I accept your counter argument

supercheesecake,

Also married a Kennedy

dan1101,

And cheated on her with the maid.
