Arnold Schwarzenegger is opening up about his “tough” childhood at the hands of his “tyrant” father.
The “Terminator” actor, 75, will speak about his military father, Gustav, in his upcoming three-part Netflix docuseries “Arnold,” which will premiere Wednesday.
Schwarzenegger, who grew up in Austria, will talk candidly about his upbringing in the limited series, which details his personal life and career as an actor, politician and body builder.
The A-lister admitted that his father, a Nazi party official he described as a “tyrant,” might have suffered from a myriad of mental health struggles.
“He was buried underneath buildings, rubble, for three days, and on top of that, they lost the war,” he reportedly recalled of his father. “They went home so depressed. Austria was a country of broken men. I think there were times where my father really struggled.”
He accused Gustav of having “schizophrenic behavior,” leaving the actor and his late brother never knowing if they would get their “kind father” or the “drunk” alter ego.
