Hollywood’s original hunk Arnold Schwarzenegger, who rang in his 75th birthday today, has had a successful career as a bodybuilder, action hero, entrepreneur, and governor.
He first came to international attention as a bodybuilder by winning both the Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia contests numerous times. Schwarzenegger became the face of the then-new sport of bodybuilding which led him to gain the attention of the entertainment industry.
During the initial days in Hollywood due to Schwarzenegger’s heavy accent, his dialogue had to be dubbed by another actor. Later he found his real niche in films as an action hero when he starred in ‘Conan, The Barbarian’, and then his career kicked into high gear.
On his 75th birthday let’s take a look at some of his best work in cinema.
