Schwarzenegger grew up in a Catholic family in Austria. In 1986, he had a church wedding with Maria Shriver, whose uncle, John Kennedy, was the first Catholic president of the USA. However, the muscular star had an affair with his housekeeper in the '90s. These moments of "forgetfulness" resulted in a child together.

Currently, Arnold Schwarzenegger considers himself a moderate Republican who supports the right to abortion and the legalization of partnerships, including same-sex partnerships. On the other hand, as governor of California, he twice vetoed a bill to legalize same-sex marriages.

Schwarzenegger first revealed his views on death and eternal life in an interview with Howard Stern in 2019.

“’m not afraid of death. I’m just pissed off about it, especially when you have a life like we have and one day it’s over,” said Arnold.

Howard Stern asked the actor what he thinks happens after death.

“The truth is we go six-feet under, and we’re going to rot there. After we’re dead we’re not gonna sit here like this and do interviews and have a great time and have laughs and have Robin [Quivers] there, you know, giving us this beautiful smile,” argued Schwarzenegger.

In an interview with "Interview" magazine, 75-year-old Arnold expanded on his thoughts on these non-obvious topics.

“To me, heaven is where I put a person who I love dearly, who is kind, who is generous, who made a difference in my life and other people's lives. When people talk about, 'I will see them again in heaven,' it sounds so good, but the reality is that we won't see each other again after we're gone. That's the sad part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don't,” summarized Arnold Schwarzenegger.
