Arnold Schwarzenegger has earned his reputation through a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. The Austrian Oak went on to become not only the Governor of California but also the ruler of many hearts, especially those interested in the field of bodybuilding. The Terminator back in the day made records many are not able to break to this day. While fans admired his strength and dedication, they were equally in awe of his personality. This macho yet charming personality, as he transitioned from one stellar career to another, made people fall in love with him.

Schwarzenegger to those who know him as the Terminator is synonymous with his catchphrase ‘I’ll be back’. And despite growing tremendously in age and retiring from bodybuilding, Arnold Schwarzenegger manages to be back with greater strength and even more swag.

Arnold Schwarzenegger drove a tank with Jay Leno

The actor absolutely kills it not only when he is playing a robotic mercenary, but also in general with his charm. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2018 met up with Jay Leno for an interview for CNBC Make It. However, this was no ordinary interview because instead of sitting in a studio, they would be sitting in a tank. Schwarzenegger, owing to his years in the Austrian army, knew his way around military equipment. And as evident by his purchase, driving around the tank was one of his favorites. The actor had the M47 Patton, which he revealed was developed by the United States during the Korean War. Schwarzenegger, along with the host, proceeded to trample in a limousine.

Apart from his many talents, looking at a giant tank fully capable of ruining anyone and anything and calling it adorable does not receive much recognition. While he may have ruined a perfectly good limousine worth millions for no good reason, Schwarzenegger often puts his tan to good use by driving kids who do well in school around in it.

Was Arnold Schwarzenegger in the military?

The actor was in the military during his time. However, it is mandatory in Austria for every healthy mail to serve a limited period serving his country. And the greatest bodybuilder managed to do that by driving his tank around.

He served in the Austrian military in 1965. Despite his love for his tank, Schwarzenegger skipped training for a year to compete in bodybuilding in Germany, for which he had to serve some time in jail.
