California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has been busy since he left the office in January.
He traveled to South America with director Pal James Cameron attending a Scorpions concert in Moscow with former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev. He has been immortalized as a comic book superhero known as ‘The Governator’.
While enjoying life from the outside, Schwarzenegger admitted in the latest Newsweek about the self-trouble while looking in the mirror these days. The 63-year-old ex-governor is having a trouble coming to terms with the fact that he is getting old.
“I feel wonderful where I am in my life, looking back what I’ve accomplished in life. But I got trouble when I look at myself in the mirror,” the former governor tells Lloyd Grove.
Indeed, Schwarzenegger during his early days as Conan the Barbarian he is heavier, and his perpetually spray-tanned face is accentuated with crow’s feet. But Schwarzenegger is still in decent shape being a guy in his age–not that Schwarzenegger sees that.
“I’m not ripping off my shirt and trying to sell the body. I’m not competing,” frets the former governor.
“But when I stand in front of the mirror and really look, I wonder: What the hell happened here? What a beating!”
Schwarzenegger’s comments come a few months after Katherine; his oldest daughter authored a book, aiming to help young women deal with body image issues.
Katherine who is 20, in her book, she admitted about the issue of being “self-conscious” about her weight and other physical matters during high school, but, with her parents helping her, she had come to embrace both her inner and outer beauty.
She might have to repay to her father, who is apparently coming to grips with his own body issues.
