“Man Has Been Through It All”: Hours After Arnold Schwarzenegger Confesses Horrific Details of Failed Surgery, Millions Left Emotional

7X Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger has seen all the highs and lows one can imagine in their life. After making significant accomplishments in the realm of bodybuilding, Arnold conquered Hollywood and fulfilled his dream of being in politics as well. Thanks to his numerous ventures, Schwarzenegger is a household name at this point. However, his life has not been a bed of roses.

Despite being at the tough age of 76, Schwarzenegger makes sure to get his daily workout no matter what. However, he has had his share of health problems, including several heart surgeries. Looking back at his last open-heart procedure, Schwarzenegger recalls how he recovered from the horrific incident. As he talked about this, fans expressed their disbelief over how strong he is.

Arnold Schwarzenegger discloses his experience with his third heart surgery

While many people might assume that Arnold suffered heart problems due to steroid consumption, as many athletes do, that was far from the truth. Schwarzenegger has been having heart problems his whole life because of a congenital heart defect—an abnormality that develops before birth. Back in 2019, before shooting for Terminator 6, Arnold had to undergo a third heart surgery, which unfortunately didn’t go as planned. While this certainly was demotivating for ‘The Austrian Oak,’ he soon realized that he had to leave the hospital as soon as possible in order to recover from it.

“I woke up, and all of a sudden the doctors were in front of me saying, ‘I’m so sorry, but it was unlike what we planned,’” Schwarzenegger said. “I had to be in shape, I had to move around, run around, lift things up, do the fight scenes,” he explained. “And we did it because I had a positive attitude, I knew exactly how I was gonna get there, I had the support system—because none of this we can do by ourselves,” Arnold pointed out.

After Schwarzenegger revealed his inspiring story in his recent Instagram post, fans could not help but point out how Schwarzenegger has been through multiple ups and downs in his life and has still continued to strive through adversities.
