Arnold Schwarzenegger came to America in 1968. For the next three decades, the Austrian carved out historic careers in bodybuilding and acting. Arnold won the Mr. Olympia title seven times and became one of the biggest action stars of the 80s. However, Arnold also had a deep interest in politics. In fact, Schwarzenegger said that he decided to call himself a republican soon after arriving in America.

In 2003, the former Mr. Olympia became the Governor of California. Since then, “The Terminator” actor has ceaselessly worked for the state, even though he is no longer the governor. So it’s not surprising that Arnold met with the Attorney General candidate to discuss the future of the state.
