Arnold Schwarze-negger on Thursday put his Hollywood projects on hold following the scandal over a secret child he fathered 13-years-ago with his housekeeper. The 63-year-old former California governor and Terminator star has told his agents to halt plans to resume his movie career so that he can deal with “personal matters”, a statement said.
“Governor Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines. This includes Cry Macho, the Terminator franchise and other projects under consideration. We will resume discussions when Governor Schwarzenegger decides,” said a statement issued by his spokesman.
Schwarzenegger has been scorned and ridiculed since revealing on Monday that he had a child out of wedlock who he kept secret from his wife, Maria Shriver, and their four children. Schwarzenegger, who ended his second term as California governor in January, was due to star in a new Terminator movie and was to start shooting the drama Cry Macho in August.
