In a more recent interview with Danny DeVito, Arnold cast some skepticism on the idea that heaven is anything more than a fantasy.
"It reminds me of Howard Stern’s question to me," Arnold said during their conversation for Interview Magazine. "‘Tell me, governor, what happens to us when we die?’ I said, ‘Nothing. You’re six feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f--king liar.’"
"I said, ‘We don’t know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff that I’m not an expert in, but I know that the body as we see each other now, we will never see each other again like that,'" he added.
Danny chimed in, adding "we deteriorate."

"Except in some fantasy," the Terminator actor continued. "When people talk about, ‘I will see them again in heaven,’ it sounds so good, but the reality is that we won’t see each other again after we’re gone. That’s the sad part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don’t. Because I will f--king miss the s--t out of everything. To sit with you here, that will one day be gone?"
"And to have fun and to go to the gym and to pump up, to ride my bike on the beach, to travel around, to see interesting things all over the world. What the f--k?" he continued.
"Life. It's the best!" Danny added.
Arnold's more recent comments caused some controversy, in large part because he had previously claimed to be Catholic. While he may have been raised that way, it seems he's experiencing some doubts about religion these days.
