Arnold Schwarzenegger gives his view on the US: ‘It doesn’t matter who is president’

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger says it is possibly "easier" to achieve success in the US and Hollywood compared to when he first moved there in 1968.
  • The 77-year-old actor and former Governor of California, stated that America remains the "land of opportunity" regardless of who is president, citing his own experiences and the success of others.
  • Speaking to the BBC, Schwarzenegger responded to a question about the American dream by saying he could still go to America as a 20-year-old and "make it in exactly the same way. Maybe even easier."
  • He added: “America is the land of opportunity. No matter what. It doesn’t matter who is president.”
  • He shared a story about a Nigerian trainer in Los Angeles earning $100 an hour and driving a Bentley, emphasising that opportunities exist for those willing to work hard.
