Austrian-American Β· b. 1947

Arnold Schwarzenegger (born July 30, 1947, in Thal, Austria) is a former professional bodybuilder, actor, and politician who served as the 38th Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. He won the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding title seven times before transitioning to a Hollywood film career built on action roles in films including The Terminator, Predator, and True Lies. His 2023 book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, distills the practical philosophy he has developed across bodybuilding, business, filmmaking, and politics into a set of principles for building a meaningful, productive life, drawing heavily on his own well-documented path from immigrant bodybuilder to global movie star to state governor. Schwarzenegger has continued acting and public speaking, and remains one of the most recognizable figures to have crossed from professional athletics into both entertainment and elected office.
