To date, he finds time to act or participate in political activities while trying to stay fit. There is nothing that this beast can’t do.

Unfortunately, Arnie was born with a rare heart condition and had to undergo multiple heart surgeries. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect that made it difficult for the heart to pump blood. The legend had to undergo valve replacement surgeries. However, he once revealed how these surgeries had benefited him.

In an interview, the Austrian Oak spoke about his acting stint while recovering from surgery. As an actor, Arnold performed stunts that put him at high risk. But turns out, the legend was more than happy to be doing his work. He revealed how his energy levels improved after the surgery.
