Schwarzenegger had a close call.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Arnold Schwarzenegger recounts the life-threatening health scare he experienced just months before starting filming for Terminator: Dark Fate. After first playing the T-800 back in James Cameron's 1984 original film, Schwarzenegger has featured in one form or another for all five sequels. He most recently reprised his role for 2019's Terminator: Dark Fate, which also saw the return of Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor.
The actor, who was born with a heart defect called aortic stenosis and had undergone two previous heart surgeries, recounts doctors telling him that they accidentally poked through his heart wall during the procedure, which then required opening him up to stop the internal bleeding. Check out Schwarzenneger's comments about the ordeal below:
"I looked like an idiot, you know, waddling around in the hallways, but the bottom line was I was getting going because the doctors said 'You have to exercise your lungs because if you get pneumonia, you can die.’ "The way all the guys pumped me up and got me going, and then when I started shooting Terminator 6, I was all back together again.”
