00:00 This operation almost cost Arnold Schwarzenegger's life. The actor had heart
00:04 surgery a few years ago where he almost died. In 2018 the Terminator actor had to
00:10 have heart surgery. The procedure was to be minimally invasive so as to not
00:14 unnecessarily burden the Hollywood star. But the doctors made a serious mistake.
00:19 During the operation the doctors accidentally stabbed Arnie's heart wall.
00:24 To save the actor's life he then had to undergo open-heart surgery. "I almost
00:30 died," Arnold said in a video. But he wouldn't be the Terminator if he hadn't
00:35 bravely fought his way back to life. "You can't turn back time," he said. With the
00:42 filming of Terminator Dark Fate fast approaching, the star picked himself up
00:45 and worked out every day in the hospital to get back on his feet. In a video
00:52 message Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a clip showing him walking through the
00:55 hospital in a surgical gown and leaning on an oxygen tank cart. "I look like an
01:01 idiot waddling around in the hallways," he confessed. Three months before shooting
01:07 Terminator Dark Fate, Schwarzenegger was fit again according to his famous motto
01:10 "I'll be back."
