LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) -- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, also known as the state's 'Governator', will leave the political scene on Monday when California Attorney General Jerry Brown takes over.Schwarzenegger, 63, will be leaving office on Monday as term limits prevented him from running for a governor for a third time in November. But re-election, even if he had been allowed to, would have been uncertain due to his falling popularity.
It will be an end of an era when the Austria-born movie star leaves office as Governor next week. But, as he as always said, he'll be back. How exactly is not yet clear, although an immediate return to movies appears unlikely.
In October, Schwarzenegger was asked if he would return to the big screen after leaving office. "It depends," he said. "If someone comes with a great script, with a great idea. Will I still have the patience to sit on the set and do a movie for three months? I don't know," he said, while also expressing interest in writing a book.
