When Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger (77) decided to enter politics, he faced strong opposition from his children. "It was the funniest thing ever," said the "Terminator" star now in a joint conversation with his son Patrick (31) for the magazine "Variety". "You came to me and said: 'Dad, it was so much fun going to the set and watching you blow things up'."

His new workplace as Governor of California impressed the children less. "You all rebelled," Schwarzenegger recounted. As Patrick Schwarzenegger explained, he and his siblings "hated" their father's work as a politician. For him as a child, it had been "heaven" until then, "going to a film set with your father." As an actor, his father would pick him up early from school in his SUV and transform into the Terminator or Mr. Freeze in his trailer on set, while he himself could help himself to the catering and drive around in the golf cart, he reported.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was in Vienna these days for the Austrian World Summit, was Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. Before that, he had become a star with the "Terminator" films as well as movies like "Conan the Barbarian" or "Twins". With his ex-wife, journalist Maria Shriver, he has a total of four children together. His son Patrick became well-known to many with his role in season three of the successful series "The White Lotus".
