The former bodybuilder and action star was known for his ripped physique and chiselled profile throughout his career in the movie business.
He stepped away from Hollywood to make his mark as California governor and is now preparing to make his big screen comeback, but Schwarzenegger fears he has lost his looks as well as his confidence over the years.
"I feel terrific about where I am in my life, when I look back at what I`ve accomplished," he told Newsweek.
"But I feel s*** when I look at myself in the mirror.
"I`m not competing, I`m not ripping off my shirt and trying to sell the body.
"But when I stand in front of the mirror and really look, I wonder: What the f*** happened here? Jesus Christ. What a beating!"
