Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed that he has decided to put the 'muscled-up action hero' act to rest and go for more "complex roles".

The 66-year-old actor, who was also the Governor of California, told Day and Night that his age and experience in the government has made him more attracted to characters that are complex and have more elements, Daily Express reported.

He would have easily played 'action hero' characters 20 years ago, but he has to "try" playing them nowadays, asserted the star, who'll soon be seen in upcoming film 'Sabotage'.

He added that it was always his goal to be a body-building champ, get into action movies, be a leading man and then give back to the people.
