Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals recent heart surgery to make him “more of a machine” like the Terminator
Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed that he had a pacemaker fitted last week after undergoing previous heart surgeries.Schwarzenegger, 76, explained he now has a “machine part” just like his Terminator character – and said he would have to take a pause from going to the gym.Speaking on his podcast Arnold’s Pump Club, released today (March 25), the actor said: ‘Last Monday, I had surgery to become a little bit more of a machine: I got a pacemaker.“I have to tell you, just saying this to all of you goes against so much of my upbringing in Austria, where nobody — ever — talked about medical issues. Everything related to healthcare was kept to yourself.“But I’ve gotten so many messages and emails from people who were born with a bicuspid aortic valve, like me, telling me that talking about my valve replacement surgeries has given them courage and hope to deal with their own.“So, since I know that going against my secretive instinct and being transparent helps people, what choice do I have?”He also went on to reassure his fans that he was “doing great.”“’I had my surgery on Monday, and by Friday, I was already at a big environmental event with my friend and fellow fitness crusader Jane Fonda…’Nobody would ever have thought I started the week with a surgery.“’I want to thank my whole team at the Cleveland Clinic.
