Schwarzenegger | Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Now retired as a bodybuilder, there is no denying that the former Governor of California still boasts a ripped physique. He holds credit for being the most recent Republican governor of the state. Prior to his stint with politics, Schwarzenegger was an actor known for the Terminator series. Even deeper into his past, he was a bodybuilder who started lifting weights at 15 and winning the Mr. Universe title at 20. He could probably easily beat most Olympians at the prime of his career.

According to Slate, Schwarzenegger received an offer for a third reprisal of his role in the Terminator series. The production team agreed to accept a handsome $29.5 million pay or play fee for the actor. That means that even if the movie did not materialize, he would still get that amount. As it were, the film was released in 2003 and drew $433 million in worldwide earnings.
