The reason for his slow down in his career came in the form of politics, as Schwarzenegger was elected as the 38th Governor of California in November 2003, an office he held until January 3, 2011.
He had already had a foray into politics when he was made chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, under Bill Clinton and then George H W Bush.
Schwarzenegger has various business outlets extra to his acting and politics, including various investments, a bricklaying business and a restaurant.
After he finished his time as governor, Schwarzenegger returned to acting, appearing in The Expendables 2 and 3 (2012, 2014) and Terminator Genisys (2015) before his role in Terminator: Dark Fate, where he returns to the screen with his Sarah Connor co-star Linda Hamilton.
