Arnold Schwarzenegger says 'heaven is a fantasy' trends now
Arnold Schwarzenegger says 'heaven is a fantasy' and dismisses anyone who thinks otherwise as a 'f****** liar.'
The Terminator star, 75, made the revelation of his changed attitude towards heaven during an interview with his former Twins co-star Danny DeVito for Interview Magazine.
When asked what he believes happens after people die, Schwarzenegger replied 'Nothing. You’re 6 feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f****** liar.'
Adding: '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. Except in some fantasy.'
But, his comments about heaven show a change in his thinking, as just four years ago, the actor told Howard Stern he hoped there was an afterlife but that he was 'pissed off' by the thought of death.
The Terminator actor said heaven 'sounds so good, but the reality is that we won’t see each other again after we’re gone. That’s the sad part.'
The former California governor explained when people talk about seeing loved ones in heaven that '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 confessed.
The former bodybuilder revealed that he has lost around 15 friends in the last 20 years and the grief had altered his perspective.
'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.'
In October 2019 Schwarzenegger was a little more optimistic on the subject, telling Howard Stern in an interview that 'I'm not afraid of death, I'm just pissed off about it.'
Adding 'hopefully there is a life after this, we all know it is going to be different if there is a life after this. I hope there is but it won't be like this.'
'Maybe there will be angels sitting
