Arnold Schwarzenegger, the legendary bodybuilder, recently appeared on the late-night show with Stephen Colbert. Arnie went on the show to promote his new book, which was premised on his journey. During his appearance, he found himself in a playful yet hypothetical presidential campaign scenario. Colbert presented him with a hilarious idea for his presidential campaign.

It was a slogan in short sentences that made everyone, including seven-time Mr. Olympia, laugh a lot. However, the video was uploaded to Stephen Colbert’s YouTube channel, and the snippet of the show attracted a lot of attention for its wittiness. The Austrian Oak couldn’t run for the President, because of the constitutional restrictions, due to which only an American born can run for this position.

With a playful grin, Colbert revealed a campaign t-shirt, specifically designed for The Terminator, in the near future constitution ever changed. However, the t-shirt featured a bold slogan and yet funny. The t-shirt was in grey color and “Arnold Schwarzenegger 2024” was printed in white, black, and red color combination.

The host of the show clarified before revealing the t-shirt, “You can’t run for the President because you’re not born in the United States. But If that ever changes, we have a campaign t-shirt for you. We were hoping we could present this to you if you wouldn’t mind…Arnold Schwarzenegger 2024..” and then he asked the 76-year-old “If you wouldn’t mind reading with the tagline is.”

With his Austrian accent and an amazing twinkle in his eyes, he read the phrase as per the request.”Vote for me if you want to live,” he announced, which made everyone in the studio laugh. Colbert and Schwarzenegger had a friendly chuckle, and the former bodybuilder flaunted his hypothetical presidential campaign t-shirt to the audience. The reason he came to the show was he was promoting his new book, which will be out on 10th October.

The book collided with his experience of life

“Be Useful, Seven Tools for Life”, the title of the book is based on a sermon given by his father. Despite the hard times, he still missed his father’s presence. Schwarzenegger still wakes up at dawn with his father’s phrase prompting him out of bed. “It was the very phrase that motivated me,” he says.

He used his experience from childhood to earn a name for himself. He was famous across the world for his incredible talent and the unwavering dedication that led him to win people’s hearts. In addition, he became popular not in just one stream but in three different professional fields, first bodybuilding, then acting, and in politics, as he was elected as the governor of California two times.
