Arnold Schwarzenegger has ignited a fervent debate on social media after expressing his belief that there may not be an afterlife where we meet again in heaven.

While his recent appearance at the 96th Academy Awards alongside Danny DeVito drew widespread praise, it’s his candid discussion on the topic of the afterlife that has garnered a divided response.

In an in-depth conversation with Interview Magazine, Schwarzenegger and DeVito delved into existential questions about the future of humanity and what happens after death.

Reflecting on a conversation he had with Howard Stern, Schwarzenegger bluntly stated, “Nothing. You’re six feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f**king liar.”

Despite DeVito’s interjection that Schwarzenegger can’t know for certain, the Terminator star maintained his stance, emphasizing that while he’s not well-versed in spiritual matters, the reality is that we won’t see each other again after death.


Schwarzenegger’s views have polarized opinions online. While some echo his sentiments, others vehemently disagree, citing religious beliefs and the comfort derived from the notion of an afterlife.

One Facebook user expressed hope that Schwarzenegger would find faith in due time, while another highlighted the fallacy of equating lack of memory with lack of existence, suggesting that the mystery of life and death remains unresolved.

Amidst the debate, Schwarzenegger’s remarks prompt reflection on the nature of mortality and spirituality, with individuals grappling with their own beliefs and perceptions of what lies beyond this life.
