Arnold Schwarzenegger shared his candid thoughts on heaven, religion, and the afterlife during a one-on-one conversation with long-time friend and actor Danny DeVito. During their insightful chat, DeVito asked Schwarzenegger about the future. The Terminator himself didn't mince words, offering his perspective on what happens after we die.
"It reminds me of Howard Stern's question to me. 'Tell me, governor, what happens to us when we die?' I said, 'Nothing. You're six feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a liar,'" Schwarzenegger candidly responded.
"We don't know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff that I'm not an expert in, but I know that the body as we see each other now, we will never see each other again like that." The action legend admitted that discussing death is uncomfortable, but he expressed skepticism about the concept of heaven, calling it a "fantasy".
"When people talk about, 'I will see them again in heaven,' it sounds so good, but the reality is that we won't see each other again after we're gone. That's the sad part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don't," he shared.
Schwarzenegger, who has experienced the loss of numerous friends within the bodybuilding industry over the years, has developed his own unique perspective on heaven. "To me, heaven is where I put a person who I love dearly, who is kind, who is generous, who made a difference in my life and other people's lives," he explained. "I keep them in a spot in my head, like that front row that you have of all of your friends. And you always have a good feeling when you think of them."
