Arnold Schwarzenegger not writing tell-all'

22nd September 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Arnold Schwarzenegger's autobiography will not be a "tell-all".

The book will detail Arnold's childhood in Austria and his ever-changing careers as a bodybuilder, a Hollywood star and a politician. Although the memoir will touch on his personal life including his recent split from wife Maria Shriver, that won't be its focus.

A source revealed to People magazine that the tome "will not be a tell-all".

The memoir has been given the working title, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story. Arnold hopes to write it in between shooting all-action movie The Expendables 2 with Sylvester Stallone.

The former California governor is famous for having taken an unusual road to fame.

"Nobody has a life story even close to his," his publisher, Jonathan Karp revealed. "Truly, Arnold is one of the most fascinating figures of our time."

This is not the first time Arnold has written a memoir. In 1977 his autobiography/weight-training guide Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder was published and became a huge success.

However, The Terminator star has been holding off writing his next book. His spokesman has revealed that although he has been forming ideas, he didn't want politics to get in the way.

"He has been keeping notes and working on the book for over a year," Adam Mendelsohn told People. "He didn't want to write his autobiography while he was governor."

Since leaving his post as Governor of California earlier this year Arnold has been planning his return to acting. As well as roles in The Expendables 2 and The Last Stand he is also rumoured to be in talks to make a fifth Terminator film.

The Expendables 2 will be released next year. (C) Cover Media
