The Terminator-turned-Governator has been a role model for many since his now-iconic film aired in 1984. But 7 years ago, he set out on a whole new mission online. “Let's just say I'm very excited to be back,” posted Arnie in a r/IAmA thread, joining the Reddit community big-time.
Today u/GovSchwarzenegger has 838K karma points, which is, well, a tiny bit of an underestimation. Because Arnie is never short on pure wholesomeness, whether it’s a nugget of wisdom, a piece of advice on getting through the workout called life, or some much-needed gym motivation.
So when someone pointed out what a lovely big bro Arnie is, it became obvious we were talking about one of the most likable people, should I say, "ever?" It’s time to take a look at how exactly the Governator won our hearts, and I promise, you’ll be melting in no time.

It turns out, the former Governor of California is a big animal person. Just take a look at this heart-melting pic he shared with Redditors. “Lulu is the mini-donkey. She’s new,” he wrote. He also introduced other members of the gang: “Cherry is the little rescue; her bite is meaner than her bark. And everyone knows Whiskey at this point.”
Another person shared this pic saying "Wholesome Arnold can’t allow people to put themselves down"
To which Arnold had an excellent response

Arnold also turned to Reddit to invite his fans to an advanced screening of Terminator Genisys in Times Square five years ago. During a follow-up Q&A session, one fan asked him about his use of Reddit. He explained: "Well, as you know, I communicate quite frequently." How could one not notice that? "And I love to listen to the reactions, and I think this is a great form of communicating. It is unfiltered, it's just pure.", confessed the former Governor.
The renowned sportsman and movie star is thankful for the online community where he's able to hear the truth from the people themselves. "I like to hear the truth from the people rather than the press's interpretation of the truth." As a result, "this is a way where I don't really need the press."
He advised people to never be afraid of failure after another person felt demoralized
