Arnold Schwarzenegger Speaks About Affair On “60 Minutes” (VIDEO)

Arnold Schwarzenegger has appeared in his first interview since he dropped the bombshell about his “love child” with his former housekeeper.

The actor and former California Governor discusses his infidelities and reflects on his life on the road to becoming famous in his upcoming autobiography, “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story.”

Arnold agreed to an interview with Lesley Stahl for “60 Minutes” to promote his new book.

Lesley asked about the actor’s cheating on Maria Shriver, asking “So you lied to her?”

“You can say that,” responded Schwarzenegger.

“She gave up her television career for you…” Stahl said, asking “was this just the most unbelievable act of betrayal, to Maria?”

This was a word Arnie didn’t feel comfortable using apparently.

The action star also admits in his book that he had a “hot affair” with actress Brigitte Nielsen while they filmed “Red Sonja” in 1985 when he was already living with Maria Shriver.

Schwarzenegger, now 65, never thought the relationship with Nielsen was serious and that the fling actually convinced him to marry Shriver.

The interview with Schwarzenegger is on tonight on “60 Minutes”.

The book will be released Monday, Oct. 1, from Simon & Schuster, a company owned by CBS.
