Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a><\/strong>, the film star and \u201cgovernator\u201d who ran the golden state for eight years from 2003.<\/p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a no-brainer,\u201d Schwarzenegger\u00a0told the Hollywood Reporter\u00a0in an interview published on Tuesday. \u201cEvery governor from a big state wants to take that shot.\u201d<\/p>
Schwarzenegger also discussed his exercise regime and described how, at 75, he plans \u201cto live forever\u201d.<\/p>
Newsom, 55, is one of few names proposed as a credible alternative to Joe Biden, the 80-year-old Democrat in the White House \u2013 though such suggestions have quietened since Biden announced his re-election campaign.<\/p>
Shortly after election day next year, Biden will turn 82. Newsom can in all likelihood wait until 2028 to take his own tilt at the presidency, not least as his term in state office will end in 2027.<\/p>
First elected in 2018, Newsom steered California through the Covid pandemic but had to\u00a0fight off a recall\u00a0before winning re-election.<\/p>
Schwarzenegger, 75, said: \u201cWhat do I think about his performance? When you become part of the club, you don\u2019t criticise governors \u2013 because you know how tough the job is. It\u2019s impossible to please everybody.<\/p>
\u201cBefore I ran for governor, I had an 80% approval rating. As soon as I announced, I had a 43% approval rating. Immediately, half of the people said, \u2018Fuck him! I\u2019m not going to see his movies anymore.\u2019<\/p>
\u201cI would run things differently [than Newsom], but I\u2019m a Republican, so of course I would. I don\u2019t criticise him for not doing it my way.\u201d<\/p>
Schwarzenegger earned the \u201cgovernator\u201d nickname, based on his famous roles in the Terminator films, when he won election as governor\u00a0in 2003. He left office in 2011, unable to run for president because he was born in Austria.<\/p>
Asked for his view of Ron DeSantis of Florida, the leading Republican challenger to Donald Trump for the GOP nomination next year, Schwarzenegger was mildly critical.<\/p>
\u201cI was against some of the stuff he did with Covid,\u201d Schwarzenegger\u00a0told the Reporter, of the governor who moved against mask and vaccine mandates and other public health measures.<\/p>
\u201cBut who am I to judge? That\u2019s for the people of Florida. My style is different. His is too conservative for me. That doesn\u2019t mean I think he\u2019s terrible. He\u2019s just not my style.\u201d<\/p>
In a passage of possible interest to Biden, the Reporter\u00a0asked Schwarzenegger\u00a0about his own battle against the effects of age.<\/p>
\u201cI never had cosmetic surgery,\u201d he\u00a0said. \u201cI never tried any gimmicks. Years ago, I [went to] UCLA, where they have world-renowned experts on ageing. I asked if anything has been created, or that is about to be available, that reverses ageing.<\/p>
\u201cHe says, \u2018Absolutely nothing, end of story.\u2019 The only thing you can do is the old-fashioned stuff. I could wipe out earlier because I smoke cigars, but then it gets counterbalanced by me eating well and then exercising.<\/p>
\u201c\u2026 I still work out every day, I ride my bike every day, and I make movies \u2013 show business is another part of my life. I add in my life, I never subtract.<\/p>
\u201cI don\u2019t need money. I get money because you have to have a certain value and the agents negotiate. But I have a great time doing it. I love everything that I do. There\u2019s no retiring. I\u2019m still on this side of the grass, so I\u2019m happy. My plan is to live forever \u2013 and so far, so good!\u201d<\/p>
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask if you would consider supporting the Guardian\u2019s journalism as we enter one of the most consequential news cycles of our lifetimes in 2024.<\/p>
From Elon Musk to the Murdochs, a small number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the information that reaches the public about what\u2019s happening in the world. The Guardian is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest \u2013 not profit motives.<\/p>
And we avoid the trap that befalls much US media: the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality. We always strive to be fair. But sometimes that means calling out the lies of powerful people and institutions \u2013 and making clear how misinformation and demagoguery can damage democracy.<\/p>
From threats to election integrity, to the spiralling climate crisis, to complex foreign conflicts, our journalists contextualise, investigate and illuminate the critical stories of our time. As a global news organisation with a robust US reporting staff, we\u2019re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective \u2013 one so often missing in the American media bubble.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
