“I think that it is probably harder today to do some of those things than it was 40 years ago. You may be more sore the next day. Age definitely makes a difference,” he confessed in the interview. But Schwarzenegger is not one to let his age deter his high-quality performances.

In the interview, The Terminator also said he is leaving no stone unturned to deliver cutting-edge work in his grand comeback on the silver screen. Arnie revealed that he is trying every trick in his arsenal to overcome the barriers of age in delivering action scenes.
