Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed had a near-death experience when doctors made a grave mistake during his third open heart surgery months before filming began on 2019’s « Terminator: Dark Fate. »
Arnold Schwarzenegger opened up about his near-death experience on the operating table.
“I remember when I had my open heart surgery, the third one, which was just a few years ago just before we started ‘Terminator 6,’” the actor recalled in a YouTube video.
“I was really freaking out. I woke up and all of a sudden the doctors were in front of me saying, ‘I’m so sorry, but it was unlike what we planned.’”
The 76-year-old explained that what was supposed to be simple non-invasive procedure became more complicated when his medical team “made a mistake and poked through the heart wall.”
Schwarzenegger added that they “had to open [him] up very quickly to save [his] life” due to internal bleeding.
Despite the setback, the former governor of California was determined to get back on his feet as soon as possible.
