In 2018, an op to replace a faulty pulmonary valve in his heart left Arnold needing emergency surgery.
Surgeons hit complications during the “experimental” procedure and were forced to carry out open-heart surgery on the Red Sonya actor.
His spokesperson confirmed at the time he was stable and said: “His first words were actually 'I’m back', so he is in good spirits.”
A year later, in 2019, he told The Sun that he was back in the gym after a week.

“For a minute I was worried it was too close to doing Terminator 6 (Dark Fate) but I realised right away the movie is a good means to get back into shape again.
“I was home in no time and was back to the gym in no time. Most people baby themselves too much after surgery.”
