Arnold Schwarzenegger sat down for an interview where he talked candidly about a variety of topics that might be of interest to fans. He spoke to THR in a new interview about cosmetic surgery as well.
Arnold Schwarzenegger opens up on speculation over doing cosmetic surgery
At 75, Arnold Schwarzenegger is still very much a working actor—among his various endeavors—starring in the new Netflix spy-adventure series FUBAR premiering on May 25. However, the bodybuilder-turned-actor is also acutely aware of his age, and like many of us, he’s not exactly a fan of getting older.
During the interview, it was brought to his attention that he said “death pisses me off,” that it’s “such a waste.” Some wealthy people have invested in life-extending efforts and he was asked if there was anything that you have tried that goes beyond the usual. He said:
“No. I never had cosmetic surgery. I never tried any gimmicks. Years ago, I [went to] UCLA, where they have world-renowned experts on aging. I asked if anything has been created, or that is about to be available, that reverses aging.”
He says, “Absolutely nothing, end of story.”
“The only thing you can do is the old-fashioned stuff. I could wipe out earlier because I smoke cigars, but then it gets counter-balanced by me eating well and then exercising.”
Schwarzenegger was asked what he likes about his 75-year-old body, and in a word: “Nothing!” Although his candor was described as “smiling yet serious,” he pulled no punches, so to speak, over his physical state of affairs at this point in life.
