The former Governor of California thought he would never make another movie after his stint in politics but was shocked when he had "the greatest time" on the sets of `The Expendables` and `The Expendables 2`.
He told BANG Showbiz: "When I was governor I would visit movie sets to thank people for shooting in California because it`s good for the economy.
"One day Tom Cruise was filming and he was in a harness hanging upside down in a fight scene and I was saying, `I`m so happy I don`t have to hang in this harness upside down doing this fight scene over and over! I`m happy being governor and I can`t even imagine doing that again.` And then a few years later after I said that that I`m on the movie set and I`m having the greatest time."
Arnold believes coming back to work on first `The Expendables` and then its sequel was perfect because he got to reunite with his fellow action heroes including Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis.
He explained: "I think it was just the ideal movie to come back to, `The Expendables`.
"First of all because it`s got the top action heroes, everyone works together... so it was a safer way to come back and so I was very fortunate, you know, it`s like, I did the first one and after that I was asked to come back to do something bigger and I had the best time from the time when we started filming all the way to the end and it was difficult for me to leave because I knew that those guys were going to have fun for a few more months and I`d have to leave to do my next project... so it was a perfect, perfect way to get into the movie business again."
