Arnold Schwarzenegger confronts both heaven and death in his own special way.
The 75-year-old actor brought up the matter after being asked by Danny DeVito, 78, “What’s in the future for us” during a protracted interview for Interview Magazine.
It brings to mind Howard Stern’s question to me. Governor, please explain what happens to us once we die. I said, “Nothing. You are six feet beneath it. Anyone who claims otherwise is deceiving you,’ he said.
Schwarzenegger continued, “I remarked, “We don’t know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff, but I know that the body as we see one other now, we will never see each other again like that. Despite the fact that I am not an expert in spiritual matters.
Even though he finds talking about death unpleasant, the former bodybuilder admitted that he also thinks that heaven is a “fantasy.”
“It sounds fantastic when people say, ‘I will see them again in heaven,’ but the reality is that after we die, we won’t cross paths again. That is the tragic aspect. Even while I’m aware that some individuals find comfort in passing away, I don’t,” he said.
Schwarzenegger claimed that his idea of paradise has evolved as a result of losing “15 friends in the last 20 or so years” from the bodybuilding world.
He said, “Heaven is where I will put someone I love, who is kind, generous, who made a difference in my life and other people’s lives.” The speaker continued, “I hold them in a location in my head, like that front row of all of your pals. And you always feel joyful when you think of them.
The next Arnold documentary, a three-part series that begins streaming on Netflix on Wednesday, is also expected to feature the former governor of California, who is expected to be transparent about his troubles.
An official synopsis of the documentary series states that it “chronicles Arnold Schwarzenegger’s journey from the countryside of Austria to the highest echelons of the American dream” and has interviews with Schwarzenegger as well as “friends, foes, costars, and observers.”
