Thousands of fans of the acclaimed actor Arnold Schwarzenegger are enthusiastically following the latest news on the health of the 76-year-old artist. The interpreter is going through a very delicate moment regarding his health, which is why he had to undergo surgery several times.
After undergoing several operations over the years, the American confessed to his followers through his well-known podcast Arnold’s Pump Club that he had to interrupt his sports routine indefinitely after undergoing surgery.
“Last Monday I had surgery to become a bit more of a machine, like the Terminator: they put a pacemaker in me,” said the former professional bodybuilder with his peculiar sense of humor.
He reportedly underwent three different surgeries and had braces placed to improve the functioning of his heart.. Although you have noticed a more than evident improvement, you still have a long way to go. However, the actor tried to downplay the matter: “I had surgery on Monday and by Friday I was already at a big environmental event with my friend and fellow fitness advocate Jane Fonda. By the way, when we talked about exercise as the only magic pill to slow down aging, look at Jane: she is ten years older than me and will turn 87 this year!
Since it couldn’t be otherwise, Schwarzenegger also wanted to take advantage of the communication to thank the work of the doctors at the Cleveland Clinic: “All the doctors and nurses took wonderful care of me and made the surgery as painless as possible” . ‘
