This world-famous bodybuilder, actor, businessman and politician was born in the Austrian village of Tal in 1947. Arnold celebrates his birthday on July 30. Let's get acquainted with the biography of Arnold Schwarzenegger closer.
Arnold Schwarzenegger in his childhood
Arnold Schwarzenegger's parents lived very poorly. They had a small farm in the form of livestock. Since childhood, the actor has been engaged in farming and helping parents. He woke up every day very early, to catch a cow before school, to get out and bring water from the well. The father, being the chief of police, brought up the boy in severity. Every evening he forced his son to write on paper a detailed account of the past day.
Most likely, thanks to the conditions in which the actor was brought up, Schwarzenegger grew very stubborn and hardworking. From a young age, he realized that due to dedication, perseverance and work, you can achieve absolutely everything.
Sports career
In his 15 years, the young man began to engage in bodybuilding . At first, he could not achieve special results, but with the help of coach Kurt Marnoul, who had the title "Mr. Austria", Arnie began to succeed. He was so carried away by bodybuilding that there was not a day when he would not train. Even in the absence of a gym, the bodybuilder himself made barbells and continued to engage.
Since 1965, Arnold begins to take part in competitions in bodybuilding, and in 1967 he was awarded the title "Mr. Universe". In 1968, having won the title "Mr. Universe" again, Schwarzenegger received an invitation from Joe Vader, an authoritative person in the world of bodybuilding, to stay some time in the USA and take part in another contest. And since 1970, Arnold was no longer equal, he won the title of "Mr. Olympia" five years in a row.
The Conquest of Hollywood
Having reached all heights in the sport, Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to conquer Hollywood. But even here, without persistence, there were some. The first films were not successful, and he, without lowering his hands, went to the school of acting. This gave an excellent result. Already in 1982, Arnold Schwarzenegger became a real movie star, thanks to the film "Conan the Barbarian". Despite the ruthless criticism of professionals, the fans made this film a stunning impression. And, of course, the world-class star becomes an actor in 1984 with the release of the film "Terminator."
Then Schwarzenegger went further. Deciding to prove to everyone that he is a universal actor and can be shot not only in action movies, Arnold accepted the offer to play a comedic role. And in this role he also became successful. Confirmation to this are such beloved comedies as "True Lies", "Twins", "Kindergarten policeman" and others.
Political career
In one of his interviews, Schwarzenegger said that in the movie career he reached the top, as it once happened with bodybuilding. He is not interested in this anymore, which is why he decided to go into politics and run for governor of the state of California. In Arnold's life a new stage has come. In 2003, he was elected governor of California, in whose position he was until January 2011, as in the elections in 2010, Schwarzenegger could not participate by law. During the governorship Arnold was recognized as America's most independent politician, who came to power. He fulfilled his obligations regardless of the circumstances and expectations of other political forces.

The marriage of Arnold and Mary lasted a long 25 years, after which a divorce followed. The reason for this was the betrayal of the actor with the housekeeper. My wife could not forgive betrayal and filed for divorce.
