Arnold Schwarzenegger opened up about his political career as the governor of California. He admitted that his kids didn’t like it when he was an acting governor! He served two terms from 2003 to 2011 and was the 38th governor of California.
He revealed in an interview with his oldest daughter Katherine, “First of all, I think it is very important to let everyone know how much you kids hated my job. It was one of those kind of odd things where I just thought that: ‘Oh, my kids will be so proud of me being governor now. And all this stuff, but I don’t think that you guys really kind of connected with that. I think you were so used to what we were doing when I was on a movie set.”
