Arnold Schwarzenegger has commented on his thoughts on heaven and religion, telling Danny DeVito that he doesn't believe anything happens to us after we die.
The 75-year-old 'Austrian Oak' - as he is often affectionately referred to - took part in a recent one-on-one discussion with DeVito, 78, for Interview Magazine. The pair have been friends for years, having starred together in the hit 1988 comedy Twins - which sees the pair play long-lost twin siblings.
In their interview, the duo discussed everything from their early lives to whether there is such a thing as life after death.
Schwarzenegger is also on the promotional trail for his upcoming three-part Netflix docuseries, which is set to chronicle his life from a young bodybuilder in Austria to his career as an action star and California governor.
DeVito - whose most memorable roles include playing Harry Wormwood in Matilda and Frank Reynolds in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - asked Schwarzenegger: "What's in the future for us?"
The Terminator actor replied: "It reminds me of Howard Stern's question to me. 'Tell me, governor, what happens to us when we die?' I said, 'Nothing. You're six feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f***ing liar.' I said, 'We don't know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff that I'm not an expert in, but I know that the body as we see each other now, we will never see each other again like that.'"
While the former bodybuilder - who took home the title of Mr. Olympia a total of seven times, a feat only beaten by Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney - did admit that death is a topic he doesn't feel comfortable with, he did state that he believed heaven is a "fantasy."
"When people talk about, 'I will see them again in heaven,' it sounds so good, but the reality is that we won't see each other again after we're gone. That's the sad part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don't,'" he said. Revealing that he's lost "15 friends in the last 20 or so years" from within the bodybuilding industry, Schwarzenegger - who could squat and bench press over 500lbs in his prime - shared that he has a new definition for what he believes to be heaven.
"To me, heaven is where I put a person who I love dearly, who is kind, who is generous, who made a difference in my life and other people's lives," he said. "I keep them in a spot in my head, like that front row that you have of all of your friends. And you always have a good feeling when you think of them."
Fans of the iconic action man are keen to hear him discuss topics like this, as well as his biggest trials and tribulations, when his Netflix series drops on Wednesday (June 7).
