How many times does a fan imagine seeing their favorite fictional character in front of their eyes? Well, the True Lies actor once became a real-life Terminator and pranked fans for a charity. To support After-School All-Stars, the 76-year-old actor offered fans a chance to join him at the premiere of his movie. And to let people know about the charity, he became a powerful character and interacted with people as well.
The actual fun began when Arnold met Arnold! While wandering around the streets, the actor came across a look-alike man who also dressed like Terminator. The conversation between the two was hilarious. Additionally, he even scared a truck driver as he asked him to get out of the car. Interestingly, the driver, without a question, started getting out of his vehicle, too.
Not only on the roads, Schwarzenegger also frightened people in the museum. He stood still like a statue and let people come near him to take a picture. As soon as they posed, he would come to life and ask them if he could take the picture. The film he was promoting was Terminator Genisys and for the same, he invited people to go to the premiere. Every $10 entry was to support the charity.

Schwarzenegger has always supported and promoted health and fitness. He even started Arnold’s Pump Club to motivate people to stay mentally and physically healthy. However, the Twins star has been doing it for a long time now. In 1993, he founded After-School All-Stars (ASAS) to ensure as many kids as possible have a safe place from where they can succeed both in school and life.
From Harlem to Honolulu, several kids turn to ASAS for fun and interesting academic enrichment and health and fitness programs. Apart from normal kids, Schwarzenegger was also worried about the specially-abled children. Therefore, to celebrate them, he supports Special Olympics, where these kids can showcase their abilities. Although there was an online troll regarding the same as well, the Predator actor rebuked the troller, too.
