Arnold Schwarzenegger is a man of many talents. And irony might be one of them. Find out about the time he had to battle with his own ban.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Once Tried to Ban Violent Video Games Before Starring in One

From being a professional bodybuilder to the Governor of California, and the
part where he became a blockbuster actor, Arnold Schwarzenneger has done a lot.
And all the fields that he has stepped into, he does not fall short of being the
best. When he was a bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered to be the
greatest of all time falling short of only Ronnie Coleman.

After conquering bodybuilding, Schwarzenneger moved to conquer the acting
industry. Hits like Conan the Barbarian and the iconic science fiction movie The
Terminator made him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. And when
he became the Governor of California in 2003, the actor juggled his
million-dollar acting career on the side. However, there came a point when
Arnold the governor and Arnold the movie star contradicted each other.


HOW ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER FOUGHT HIS OWN BAN?

For the unversed, video games are protected under the First Amendment of the
Constitution which says “Congress make no law respecting an establishment of
religion or prohibiting its free exercise”. And why this is relevant while
speaking of Arnold Schwarzenneger because the actor after taking the office as
the Governor in 2005 fought for the ban of video games on children under 18.

He also argued that beyond banning video games they need to have labeling from
the ESRB. Additionally, this law proved to be a bane for the Terminator 3 video
games the actor made millions from.

And not long after he retired from office, Arnold Schwarzenneger stepped foot
into the same industry that his own bill harmed. The Terminator actor joined
hands with Stan Lee for The Governator.

This deal consisted of comic books, tv series, and video games revolving around
The Governator. The Governator in question poses Arnold Schwarzenegger as a
caring and ordinary family man who fights the bad at night. And considering that
it revolves around a fight between the good and bad it is unlikely that it will
be devoid of any violence. Moreover, this is Schwarzenneger’s second video game
project. He has contributed as a voice actor to all The Terminator games up
until Terminator 3: War of the Machines. Additionally, the viewers did not spare
Arnold from the irony of the fact that his onscreen kill count is around 509
when he vouched for the ban on violent video games. Check out his performance in
Terminator 3 on Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/tr-en/title/60029154].

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
