In the coming days, Arnold Schwarzenegger fans might be up for a blast. The 75-year-old actor is starring in the new Netflix action series called FUBAR. Following that, Netflix is releasing a documentary on his life titled ‘Arnold’. Although Schwarzenegger doesn’t show much enthusiasm when the topic of his age is raised, he appears genuinely excited about the opportunity to be 10 years younger, which his new action series provides him.

The bodybuilding-legend-cum-action-star gave the first sneak peek into his show FUBAR around 3 months ago. A line could be heard spoken by another character, and now that has caught on to be included in an interview he did recently with USA Today.

In the official trailer for FUBAR, one of the characters utters the line, “You’re the fastest 65-year-old white guy on the planet.” The line brings forth both humor and panache, offering a glimpse into the badassery of the character portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. He portrays ex-CIA agent Luke Brunner, who is compelled to return to duty after discovering that his daughter is also working for the CIA.

Schwarzenegger’s response in the trailer is, “I guess I’m done”, right after fighting off a room full of bad people. Now the line has taken a life of its own, and in a recent interview with USA Today, Schwarzenegger said, “I’m sold as a 65-year-old, but I’m 75” as he was brimming with pride. He continued, “I feel I’m in a very good place”.

This only brings to mind the interview he had done with Howard Stern once where he talked about how much he is angry about the idea of death. In recent times, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said, “My plan is to live forever”.
