When it comes to Schwarzenegger, what comes to mind? Is it not the first thing that comes to mind is the many tough guy images he portrays on the screen, especially in the "Terminator" series of movies, riding a heavy motorcycle, wearing large sunglasses, wearing a black leather coat, holding a rifle in one hand, not to mention how dashing, every picture is a classic in film history. Perhaps everyone will also think of his transition to politics after his death, successfully elected governor of California, and became a prince of a beautiful country. Schwarzenegger's life is legendary, but the macho man also made mistakes, after he became famous, he made a "mistake that men make", and even cheated on the nanny, and what is even more bizarre is that his nanny's appearance is worrying, making people think that the governor's taste is very unique. Today, we will learn about the two-sided life of the Terminator.
Schwarzenegger's life is an inspirational model, from a poor boy who successfully counterattacked as a Hollywood superstar and governor of California, and his story has to start from when he was a child. Schwarzenegger was born in 1947 in a small town in Austria, we know that Austria is a high welfare state, his father is a local sheriff, Schwarzenegger's family conditions can be said to be quite good, but surprisingly his childhood can not be said to be happy. Schwarzenegger's mother was a famous local beauty, which made his father very relieved, there was no paternity testing technology in that era, as Schwarzenegger looked more and more like his father, causing his father to doubt his identity for a while, so he often punched and kicked him, especially after drinking, Schwarzenegger felt like he was "facing the wind". And that's not all, his neighbors laughed at him so much that they often called him "Cinderella," embarrassing him.
Life is a relentless spur to Schwarzenegger, but fortunately he did not give up on himself, he found his dream - fitness, in the cold years, the dream always brings a little warmth. Young Schwarzenegger believed that building a strong body would protect himself and his mother and silence the good ones. So he started the crazy fitness path, and he set himself a full schedule, exercising 6 hours a day, 6 days a week. At the same time, in order to motivate himself, he also plastered various photos of muscular men in his bedroom, which at one point made his mother suspect that there was something wrong with his sexual orientation.
In this way, under this demonic training, Schwarzenegger's figure is getting better and better, and his muscle lines are getting more and more perfect. He began his career as a bodybuilder, competing everywhere and winning championships. In his early 20s, Schwarzenegger won almost every award in the bodybuilding world, including Mr. Europa, Mr. Universe, Mr. Universal Bodybuilder, Mr. Olympia, and more. In the world of bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger has achieved unprecedented results, reaching the ceiling, and there is no room for improvement, so he is ready to switch tracks.
In 1968, at the age of 21, Schwarzenegger came to New York alone, and at first he was ready to find a gym job to teach Americans how to exercise. But instead, he picked up the camera and became a journalist. At that time, people would occasionally see a big muscular macho man running down the street with a small camera on the streets of New York. Schwarzenegger also thought that the job might not be for him, so he set his sights on the booming film industry, and maybe he could get a chance in action movies with his own tendon meat. But his movie dream was struck in the head before it even started, and when he went to audition, others thought his English was too bad. To overcome this difficulty, Schwarzenegger practiced English pronunciation and grammar every day, and it wasn't long before he was able to blurt out the authentic American language.
Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, when a director who is not famous has taken a fancy to Schwarzenegger and invited him to be the male lead of his own film, and Schwarzenegger, who is worried about the film, agrees without even thinking about it. This director is the future famous James Cameron, and his first film with Schwarzenegger was "Terminator", which made Swasinger a hit. The film gave Schwarzenegger a taste of overnight fame, and after becoming popular, major producers threw olive branches at him. One after another, Swassinger has starred in the sequel to "Terminator", "True Lies", "Predator" and other acclaimed and popular action blockbusters, becoming the world's top action superstar in one fell swoop.
The success in Hollywood has allowed Schwarzenegger to make a lot of money, and he and his friend Stallone have invested in the real estate industry, co-founded hotels together, and are also prosperous in the business field. Schwarzenegger with a successful career naturally has no shortage of gifts of love, like him to have money and money, to have a good look, a man with a perfect body and perfect body is naturally very feminine, as early as before he became famous, he had a first love in his hometown, but with Schwarzenegger's fame, he and his hometown girlfriend gathered less and more, and the two later broke up peacefully. The woman who then walked into his life would completely change the trajectory of his life. This woman is Maria Schlevo, who is just a TV reporter, but the background is quite hard. Maria's mother is the sister of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, her father is the president of the U.S. Special Olympics, and she also ran for vice president that year. Schwarzenegger fell in love with Maria at first sight in an interview, and with his star aura and explosive male hormones, Swashinger managed to win the hearts of beauties.
The union was initially opposed by the Maria family, as the Schwarzenegger and Kennedy families belonged to different political parties. However, Maria, who had been fascinated by Schwarzenegger, tried to defy the public opinion and insisted on "marrying" Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger later spoke in interviews about the secret of his success: first, he came to the United States, second, he worked tirelessly, and third, he married the Kennedy family. It can be seen that the importance of this marriage to Schwarzenegger is important.
After successfully "joining" the Kennedy family, Schwarzenegger could no longer hide his political ambitions, and he began to use the kennedy family's political resources to attack the throne of power and run for governor of California. Maria, who has been very sensitive to politics since childhood, of course fully supported her husband's decision, and she began to play the role of a staff member, using family resources to canvass Schwarzenegger everywhere, creating public opinion, and even when Schwarzenegger broke the salty pig hand scandal, she still stood firmly by her husband's side to help him save his reputation. Eventually, with the strong support of the Kennedy family, Schwarzenegger was elected as the 38th governor of California. In her celebration speech, Maria gave Schwarzenegger an unsympathetic kiss and earned enough eyeballs. It's just that Schwarzenegger's political prowess is really not as professional as his ability to make action movies, although he made a bold statement at the beginning of his election that he did a better job than Obama. But in fact, his performance as governor is difficult to say qualified. During his tenure, California's finances ran deficits almost every year, and government loans flew everywhere, and at one point it was an embarrassing situation of selling real estate to pay off debts.
In addition to his ability to govern, Schwarzenegger's life seemed perfect, but as he stepped down as governor, a scandal surfaced. It turned out that his marriage to Maria had already encountered a crisis, and Maria chose to endure for a long time for the sake of the governor's reputation. Originally, Schwarzenegger and Maria had a happy marriage, the two gave birth to 4 children after marriage, Maria not only helped her husband's career, but also a virtuous helper, took good care of the family, and was simply a perfect wife. However, Schwarzenegger has always been difficult to change his bad habits of messing with flowers and grass, and has engaged in extramarital affairs. The object of the cheating was actually her own nanny, and she also had an illegitimate child with the nanny, which made Maria completely unacceptable.
To say that the governor's taste is really a little unique, his nanny named Patty, no matter the appearance or figure does not meet the public aesthetics, but it is this "ugly woman" in the eyes of everyone who has maintained an underground relationship with Schwarzenegger for 20 years. Patty had served in the Schwarzenegger family for many years, and Maria had long regarded it as a family, and when Patty was pregnant with Schwarzenegger's child, Maria also happened to be pregnant with her fourth child, and Maria also felt that this was fate, often giving gifts to Patty, and even attending the baptism of Patty and Schwarzenegger's illegitimate son. Later, I learned that I had been kept in the dark, and the moment I learned the truth, Maria completely collapsed, and the two people she trusted the most actually betrayed her, who could bear it? Maria immediately separated from Schwarzenegger, and considering that Schwarzenegger was in the governor's office at the time and did not make this scandal public, Maria really did her best.
Later, Schwarzenegger also realized his mistake and made a special apology in an attempt to save Maria. But the water was hard to harvest, and Maria did not give him another chance. In an interview with the media, Schwarzenegger said that losing Maria was the biggest mistake he made in his life. This can only be blamed on himself, if he knew today, why should he do it in the first place?
After the divorce, Schwarzenegger took the initiative to bear the cost of raising 4 children and divided half of his property to Maria, which is still worth affirming. Now, Schwarzenegger's life is still wonderful, and some reporters have photographed him shopping with his 27-year-old girlfriend, and his life is quite dashing. At the same time, he returned to the big screen after many years of absence, presenting the finale of "Terminator" to fans, which is an explanation for everyone. Schwarzenegger is already a seventy-year-old man, his sideburns have long been white, but his figure is still strong, and he is still a well-known iron-blooded man on the screen, and it is no wonder that the man is a teenager until his death.
