Arnold Schwarzenegger has no intention of letting his body-building accomplishments fade into obscurity.
He’s having his look put in bronze. The former governor of California has personally commissioned at least three bronze statues of himself that show the “Terminator” star at his body-building best.
Tim Park of Oregon-based sculpture studio TW Bronze has completed one of the three eight-foot-tall bronze re-creations of Schwarzenegger in his days as a competitive bodybuilder, according to StarPulse.
Schwarzenegger, 64, began competing for bodybuilding titles in 1968 and won several — including five Mr. Universe titles and seven Mr. Olympia titles — before making his Hollywood breakthrough with “Conan the Barbarian” in 1982.
Park said the actor and former California governor has seen the first statue. “His exact words were, ‘This is fantastic,’ and he said it about four times,” he said.
The first statue was given to a museum dedicated to the actor and former California governor in his childhood home of Thatl, Austria.
The second statue will be shipped to Columbus, Ohio, which hosts the annual Arnold Classic professional bodybuilding competition.
Schwarzenegger reportedly plans to keep the third statue for himself

Jennifer Aniston recently made a big donation to charity.
The actress, who has always reportedly been generous with friends, bought a piece of art for $450,000 and turned the proceeds over to Haitian health and education, according to the celebrity website Janetcharltonshollywood.
The stark gray oil and charcoal painting was expected to bring only $150,000 but Jen upped the auction price.
Jennifer and boyfriend Justin Theroux attended the charity auction in New York on Thursday night, and her purchase contributed to a total amount of $13,662,000 raised for health and eduction in Haiti, which is still recovering from the natural disasters that hit the Caribbean island last year.
Aniston didn’t make the winning bid herself but “clapped enthusiastically” as Theroux raised his hand. The artwork she won is titled ‘Stranger #44,’ an abstract work of oil, graphite and charcoal on canvas by artist Glenn Ligon.
Co-hosting the auction was Ben Stiller who also hosted a dinner for his own charity this week, The Stiller Foundation, which saw Aniston and Theroux attend alongside actress Susan Sarandon and music producer Mike Jean.
Paris Hilton, who is in India to launch a line of stores bearing her name, dropped $2,000 in cash to poor people in the area.
She reportedly stopped her SUV in Mumbai to hand a $100 bill to a poor woman carrying a baby. An emotional Paris then gave out all the cash she was carrying to other people, TMZ reports.
According to local Indian reports, the woman immediately began asking photogs if anyone could break it into smaller bills, probably fearful of walking around the slums with so much cash.
Paris later tweeted about the incident …. saying, “India is beautiful, but some parts are very poverty stricken. Broke my heart to see babies sleeping on the streets.”
