(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Arnold Schwarzenegger is desperate to finalise his divorce so he can throw himself back into acting.
The star's estranged wife Maria Shriver filed to end their 25-year marriage last week. Their split came after Arnold told her he had fathered a child with a member of their household staff over a decade ago.
It's been known for some time that Arnold is keen to return to his acting roots. His tenure as Governor of California ended in January, and there were rumours he was hoping to appear in a new Terminator movie. He was also said to have signed on to play a horse breeder in Cry Macho, though shortly after that news broke it was announced he was putting his acting plans on hold to concentrate on his personal issues.
Now he's had time to be with his family and Maria has filed for divorce, the action hero is keen to get things settled and move on with his life.
"Arnold wants to be back on a set making movies, make no bones about that. He wants to put this chapter of his life behind him, and make hit movies," a source told RadarOnline.com. "Arnold has been talking to studio executives about his comeback. He wants to star with Tom Arnold in a possible True Lies sequel. Both actors are trying to make that happen. The script has been written, it's just a matter of lining up a director, the primary choice would be James Cameron because he did the first one."
In 1994 movie True Lies, Arnold played a man who lived a double life and had to keep it secret from his family.
Maria is said to be completely supportive of Arnold's career decision and would love to see him making films again. She's also hopeful they will be able to sort things out quickly and amicably so he can realise his dream.
"Maria is fully supportive of Arnold returning to acting. She knows how much it means to him," the insider added. (C) Cover Media
