His name was also among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world in 2004 and in 2007.
Finding people who aren’t aware of Arnold Schwarzenegger and his iconic movies is a next-to-impossible task. The 75-year-old Austrian American actor and his rein in the Hollywood film industry is nothing short of remarkably impressive, and you just don’t see so much stability in careers like that anymore, especially when it comes to the film industry, where everyone is quite replaceable. But the actor is not as focused on his professional life, and he is giving more priority to his family life. He is also the recipient of several awards, including the Golden Globe Award for Best New Star of the Year (1977) and the Life Career Award (1992).
