Old Enough To Know Better

He may have achieved a degree of respectability as Governor of California but there have been some narcissistic howlers along the way for "The Austrian Oak." In 1982 the youngest ever Mr Universe's buff biceps were just the ticket for the likes of Conan the Barbarian. His well muscled torso would go on to shine in Predator, Total Recall and True Lies. However, at 56, his third portrayal of the Terminator in Rise of the Machines was showing distinct metal fatigue. The previous year's Collateral Damage also suggested it was time to quit. After all, who wants to vengeful old codger causing mayhem in the South American jungle. Now blessed with a burgeoning political career, it's easy for the Californians - a discerning and worldly-wise type - to put their trust in a man who claims "cannabis is not a drug - it's a leaf". As far as youth is concerned, he won't be back.
