It’s hard to keep The Terminator and the actor who gave him “life” down. Arnold Schwarzenegger is opening up on a YouTube video that one of his surgeries nearly killed him. But it was his positive attitude that brought him back to fully enjoy living another day!

The 76-year-old action icon discussed his third open-heart surgery in a new YouTube video and says the procedure’s unexpected problems had him “freaking out.”

The valve replacement surgery was right before he filmed 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate, (#6) and the former California governor described waking up in the hospital and doctors explaining to him that the procedure had caused unexpected internal bleeding.

Schwarzenegger said the mishap resulted in a difficult recovery. The star of Netflix’s FUBAR shared some humbling footage of himself walking down a hospital hallway, first with a walker, and then on his own holding a railing.

Arnold is a true inspiration in his role as a wellness influencer, and this year launched a popular health and fitness newsletter. The OG action star also expressed his desire to “live forever” in the video and that’s why we believe in him when his Terminator character says, “I’ll be back”.
