Arnold Schwarzenegger Rejects The Notion Of Heaven, Calling It A “Fantasy”

Arnold Schwarzenegger dismisses the concept of heaven as a mere “fantasy,” boldly stating that anyone claiming otherwise is a dishonest individual. In a recent conversation prompted by actor Danny DeVito’s question about the future, Schwarzenegger, known for his iconic role in “Terminator,” openly shared his thoughts on the afterlife. Reflecting on a question posed by Howard Stern, who inquired about what happens after death, the action star replied with conviction, “Nothing. You rest six feet under. Trust me, anyone who tells you otherwise is a damn liar.” This candid exchange took place during an interview with Interview Magazine.

While acknowledging his limited expertise on matters of the soul and spirituality, Schwarzenegger emphasized that the physical bodies we currently possess will never again exist in the same form. Speaking about death evokes discomfort for the “Predator” star, as he confronts the painful truth that once we depart from this world, the opportunity for reunion ceases. Despite the allure of sentiments like “we’ll meet again in heaven,” Schwarzenegger confronts the reality that such reassurances are illusory, and the finality of death weighs heavily on his heart.

Reflecting on the passing of approximately fifteen friends from his bodybuilding days over the past two decades, the former California governor realized the need to reshape his perspective on the concept of an afterlife. For Schwarzenegger, heaven represents a deeply personal space where he cherishes the memory of those who touched his life profoundly. He envisions a mental space, akin to a front row, reserved exclusively for the people he loves and admires—individuals characterized by their kindness, generosity, and lasting impact on him and others. The mere thought of them evokes a sense of warmth and gratitude.

In addition to discussing his thoughts on the afterlife, Schwarzenegger recently opened up about a painful moment from his personal life. In the forthcoming three-part Netflix documentary “Arnold,” he reveals the heart-wrenching experience of confessing to his ex-wife, Maria Shriver, that he fathered a child with their former housekeeper, Mildred Baena. Recalling the moment Shriver, now 67, confronted him through their marriage counselor in 2011, Schwarzenegger expressed the profound impact his admission had on her. The disclosure shattered their relationship, leaving Shriver devastated.

In conclusion, while the topic of death brings Schwarzenegger discomfort, he remains steadfast in his conviction that heaven is nothing more than a fantasy. Yet, he finds solace in the cherished memories of loved ones, keeping them alive within a special place in his mind. By sharing his personal experiences and introspective thoughts, Schwarzenegger invites us to contemplate the profound implications of mortality and the significance of those who leave an indelible mark on our lives.
