A Hollywood Kid's Perspective: Schwarzenegger's Kids on His Political Career
Sons and Daughter of Schwarzenegger Allegedly Disliked His Political Career - Siblings express disdain for father's political undertakings as persecuted by Schwarzenegger.
Hey folks! Here's a lesser-known chapter in the life of Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger (77). You know, the guy who's known for kicking some serious butt in films like the Terminator and Conan the Barbarian? Well, turns out, his kids didn't quite appreciate his transition from action hero to California's governor.
In a chit-chat with son Patrick (31), Schwarzenegger shared a funny anecdote about their case of cold feet when he took on the political gig. "They all rebelled," he chuckled. According to Patrick, he and his siblings, including Katherine, Christina, and Christopher, "hated" seeing their father in a suit and tie, instead of his iconic action roles.
Patrick explained that he and his siblings adored visiting film sets with their dad, where he'd transform into the Terminator or Mr. Freeze, all while he indulged them with catering and golf cart rides. Compare that to the state Capitol, a more serious and less exciting spot from a kid's perspective.
Arnold served as California's Governor from 2003 to 2011, before which he carved a niche for himself in Hollywood. His foray into politics was met with varying responses, with his children preferring the glitz and glamour of the movie world over the formalities of the political arena.
Fast forward to today, Patrick is an actor like his dad, making a name for himself in critically acclaimed series like The White Lotus. So, it seems they've finally found a middle ground! Still, it's fascinating to consider the unique challenges that arise when parents transition their careers, even for an action hero like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I'm not going to be a big fan of your new movie, considering the family-dynamics when your father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, transitioned from actor to California's governor. This shift in lifestyle, from the entertainment industry to politics, had a significant impact on his children, preferring the glamour of the movie world over the formalities of the political arena. As Patrick, one of his children, embarks on his own career in acting, it seems both have found a balance in their relationships with each other and their career choices.
