Arnold Schwarzenegger recently shared the harrowing details of a botched open-heart surgery he underwent just a few years ago, right before filming 2019’s “Terminator: Dark Fate.” In a candid YouTube video, Schwarzenegger described waking up to doctors explaining they had accidentally punctured his heart wall during the procedure, forcing them to quickly open him up to save his life. The 76-year-old actor referred to the event as a “disaster” and spoke of the challenging recovery that followed.
The former California governor emphasized the importance of shifting mindset during tough times, recalling how his determination to recover was fueled by a sense of urgency conveyed by his doctor. Despite initial struggles, Schwarzenegger slowly progressed from taking a few steps with a walker to more strenuous activities like running and lifting weights, all while surrounded by a supportive circle of friends and family.
Reflecting on his life’s ups and downs, Schwarzenegger acknowledged his past mistakes and failures in a recent Netflix documentary, “Arnold.” The documentary delves into the actor’s personal and professional life, shedding light on the scandals that marred his career in the early 2000s and led to his separation from Maria Shriver. Through it all, Schwarzenegger remains grateful for the unwavering support that helped him navigate the challenges he faced.
