Arnold Schwarzenegger turns 65: the five biggest media-making moments in his wild life



Arnold Schwarzenegger turns 65 on July 30. (Marc Piasecki/Getty Images)Arnold Schwarzenegger has come a long way since he emigrated from Austria to follow an unprecedented path that took him from Austrian immigrant to bodybuilding champ to action-movie superstar to California governor. And, over the years, he's made plenty of headlines, both good and bad. To mark his 65th birthday on July 30, we take a look at his biggest and most unbelievable media-making moments.

Quick, name a few of the world's top bodybuilders. Exactly. It's pretty hard to make a career out of pumping iron, let alone use it as a vehicle to become world-famous, but Arnold Schwarzenegger was the man who managed to do it. After leaving his native Austria for the United States, a very ripped Schwarzenegger became the world's youngest Mr. Olympia in 1970 at age 23. By 1975, he was going for his sixth shot at the title when he was approached to be the subject of a documentary titled "Pumping Iron," (which also featured future "Incredible Hulk" star Lou Ferrigno). The film would give America a look inside the world of bodybuilding and introduce them to Schwarzenegger, changing his life forever and putting him on a path to fame. He later admitted to using steroids back then (though apparently in smaller doses than is typically used today), but has said he has no regrets. "At that time, it was something new that came on the market, and we went to the doctor and did it under doctors' supervision," Schwarzenegger told ABC News in 2005. "We were experimenting with it. It was a new thing. So you can't roll the clock back and say, 'Now I would change my mind on this.'" Over the years, the actor has sued both a doctor and a tabloid for making claims that his steroid was responsible for heart problems (which he claims he doesn't have) and would lead to an early death.

He becomes an unlikely mega-star
After starring in a few movies and TV series in the late '70s (in addition to "Pumping Iron"), a 31-year-old Schwarzenegger was cast as the lead in the big budget "Conan the Barbarian," an action film that became a box-office success and would catapult the beefy guy with the funny accent to a wildly successful acting career. When, in 1984's "The Terminator," Schwarzenegger uttered the now-famous line "I'll be back," he meant it. The actor would star in a whopping 20-plus action films over two decades, in addition to some blockbuster comedies like "Kindergarten Cop" and "Twins." The pressure was on when Schwarzenegger returned for "Terminator 2," which was given a then-record-breaking budget of nearly $100 million. The investment was worth it as the sequel grossed a staggering $600 million worldwide, proving Schwarzenegger had a special kind of box-office appeal and establishing the Austrian native as an American action-movie icon.

Arnold Schwarzennegger and Maria Shriver's most-recent headlines may have been centered around their split, but back in the '80s, the couple created buzz simply by being together. When the world found out a one-time beefy bodybuilder (not to mention a staunch Republican!) was marrying a Kennedy (Shriver is the daughter of John F. Kennedy's sister Eunice), it seemed a little hard to believe. In true Camelot style, the two wed at a Catholic church near the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachussetts, with JFK's daughter Caroline serving as maid of honor. The couple had four children and remained married for 25 years.
