Arnold Schwarzenegger, 75, has seen the blues and greens, and yellows of life. Spending over three decades in the industry as an A-list actor, having not one or two but seven Mr. Olympia titles under his belt; the Austrian actor has achieved everything anyone in the industry would desire for. However, these are not the only achievements under his forte. Schwarzenegger was also a respectable governor of California between 2003 and 2011. However, it seems like his pursuits do not stop here.

Journalist Mark Leibovich last month reported via The Atlantic that the 75-year-old actor and former politician recently expressed his wish to run for the upcoming presidential election. The journalist further wrote, “That remains his recurring lament. Entering the Mr. Universe of political campaigns would have been the logical last rung of his life’s quest for something bigger. Schwarzenegger said he thinks he could win.”

Notably, the Terminator actor also voiced his wish and regret that, although he wished to conduct the presidential run, the constitution hinders him from doing so. According to the Constitution, anyone born outside America cannot run the elections or stand for a position. Had he not been an Austrian, fans would certainly get to see him as a potential contender.
