Renowned Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday paid tribute to the man who gave him his start in politics. The 70-year-old former governor of California was accompanied by his girlfriend Heather Milligan as they attended former president George H.W. Bush's funeral in Houston, Texas.

The former bodybuilding star held the post for the remaining three years of Bush's term in office. Schwarzenegger later earned himself the nickname of "Conan the Republican" after he played a key role in Bush's re-election campaign, Daily Mail reports.
