Arnold Schwarzenegger, while shooting for his first James Cameron movie, did not comprehend the paradigm shift that the movie would bring in his career. More precisely, the number of people that would jump off their seats after hearing the three magical words that were neither a confession nor a request but a promise: “I’ll be back.” Schwarzenegger and James Cameron cracked the code that would make the Austrian Oak a hometown Hollywood heavyweight. And one would think that is a legacy for those in the business of cinema, but just like the man himself, his catchphrases have managed to impress the best of both worlds.

As the most notable jack of all trades makes a comeback at 75, his character seems to be a culmination of his peak personal and professional milestones. Something that his avid fans in the wrestling arena, Booker T and The Miz, celebrated by giving their best shot at impersonating the FUBAR actor.

Booker T and The Miz’s Luke impersonation gets a nod of approval from Arnold Schwarzenegger

Schwarzenegger does not have many accolades in the acting industry for the plethora of enjoyable performances he has given. But it is hard to complain when the Austrian Oak has a fan in nearly every notable figure. And this includes retired wrestling maestro Booker T and The Miz. The two celebrated his debut series FUBAR while putting their nose to the grindstone as they impersonated his best dialogues from FUBAR. From “I am retired,” to “My daughter is in the CIA?” the impersonations were no less demanding than pumping iron as they extracted a range of emotions from the wrestler.

The two pioneers of the wrestling industry gave it their all and even took multiple takes. Luckily for them, Arnold Schwarzenegger gave their impressions his pat of approval as he wrote, “I think you guys nailed it.”

While Booker T and The Miz may have been the only fans of the Austrian Oak lucky enough to have their impression complimented by the man himself, there are several who have tried to make the cut.

Celebrities and their love for the Austrian Oak

The actor may have never been the star with the most awards, but he is the star’s star. It has been proven through the long lists of celebrities who give their best shot at impersonating Arnold Schwarzenegger that most of our favorite celebrities are mere fans of the Austrian Oak. One of the best of these impressions comes from Will Smith, who effortlessly captured the Austrian essence and thickness of Schwarzenegger’s voice as he told the tale of who made him a global star.

It would be a crime, however, to mention the best impressions and forget the Emmy Award-nominated actor Bill Hader, who has impersonated Schwarzenegger so much that his kid turned out to be a ‘Schwarzenegger baby’ as he revealed on Conan on TBS in 2014. Impersonating the Austrian is such a cherished hobby in Hollywood that even Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonates himself.
