'I really don't feel my age': Arnold Schwarzenegger, 72, helps Indian YouTuber beat depression

Seoul, Oct 23 (IANS): Hollywood action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger was elated to find out that his famous 6 Rules of Success helped an Indian come out of depression.

It happened when an Indian YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia aka Beerbiceps met Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton at the Terminator: Dark Fate press tour here.

Opening up about fitness and success, Schwarzenegger told Ranveer that the simplest way to achieve one's goals is to cultivate consistency.

When Ranveer narrated to him about his own days of depression and how listening to his famous speech on loop helped him find his way out, Schwarzenegger said it made him very happy that he was able to touch people's lives positively.

Hamilton told Ranveer that she would like to urge people to take mental health seriously and get help when required.

James Cameron's Terminator: Dark Fate brings back Schwarzenegger as The Terminator and Hamilton, as an older Sarah Connor, for yet another action-packed adventure.

Although Terminator: Dark Fate is the sixth instalment in the franchise, it is being touted as a direct sequel to 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The film ignores the events of the three films that released in between.

Earlier, the Hollywood icon, at age 72, put out a statement to show that he completely defies age, be it with his work or physical fitness.

While promoting Terminator: Dark Fate, Arnold, who is reprising his popular role of T-800 in the movie, shared his views on getting old, saying he doesn't feel his age.

"When it comes to age, I really don't feel it. It's just because I get training all the time. I train every day. I was kind of waiting for a movie like that, and to prepare for the role I prepared myself for months in advance." 

"I practiced the different stunts and coordinated with the stunt department because I believe in reps, reps and reps. I really feel that I am getting older but not obsolete for sure," Arnold laughed.

He also reminisced how he rose to fame with James Cameron's action thriller The Terminator film in 1984.

"I feel blessed that Cameron asked to act in his 1984 film. The film really helped my career, elevated my career. And after that film, I was offered so many action movies, and the list went on and on and on." 

"And then we did another Terminator, a sequel which became the highest-grossing movie of the year. That was awesome. And now we are back again. It really feels good to be a part of such popular franchise," he said.

Although Terminator: Dark Fate is the sixth instalment in the franchise, it is being touted as a direct sequel to 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The film ignores the events of the three films that released in between.

Directed by Tim Miller, Terminator: Dark Fate will release in India on November 1 in six languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
