Arnold Schwarzenegger started practicing to be a bodybuilder when he was as young as fifteen and even earned the greatest accolade one can earn as a bodybuilder at only 23. The Austrian Oak may have been quick to bag every great title and become the youngest ever to do so, but he grew older and wiser slowly and steadily in front of the spotlight. This gave the audience a chance to see him grow into a respectable gentleman who had great respect for those around him.

While the former Governor of California has proven through various endeavors his activism and care for those around him, it is in moments of loss that his devotion shines the brightest. As the world bid farewell to the powerhouse that was Dianne Feinstein, Schwarzenegger was among the first ones to pay his respects.

Arnold Schwarzenegger bid adieu to Dianne Feinstein

The Austrian Oak turned 76 this year after giving the world a taste of greatness through varying performances in several careers. While the actor has gained a lot in his life in terms of honors, he has lost many of his close ones to death and decisions. This has made him very grateful for those around him, even if they do not necessarily agree with him. The actor proved the same as he celebrated the honorable life of Dianne Feinstein, the longest-serving female US senator who passed away on the 28th of September.

Arnold Schwarzenegger served as the Governor of California from 2003 to 2011, while Dianne Feinstein was a U.S. Senator from California since 1992. The two worked together on issues ranging from environmental to healthcare. And the seven times Mr. Olympia winner did not forget to laud her for the same as he called her “a powerhouse and a pioneer,” while reminiscing their time working with each other.

It is especially applaud worthy that Schwarzenegger was among the first to pay tribute because he and Dianne Feinstein were known to bump heads with each other owing to their difference in opinions.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s love-hate relationship with Dianne Feinstein

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a member of the Republican Party while Dianne Feinstein was a member of the Democratic Party. The difference in parties naturally led to them arguing over many issues. From social views to immigration, the two had some very heated debates as politicians. One of the more significant issues that Schwarzenegger and Feinstein could not see eye to eye on was gun control.

It would be quite detrimental to the brand if Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Terminator himself, advocated for stricter gun control. His status as a Republican, combined with this, led him to adopt a more moderate stance on gun control. Dianne Feinstein, on the other hand, believed, like most democrats, that gun control should be stricter in California. But the difference of opinions did not mean that the two harbored ill feelings towards each other.
