Arnold Schwarzenegger faces up to the T-800 Terminator on shopping trip

Arnie could still take him

Out and about in Milan, Arnold Schwarzenegger came across an old friend and couldn’t resist sharing the reunion on Instagram.

The T-800 Terminator was found by Arnie in Matchless London’s shop in the Italian fashion capital after he appeared in the series as one of the early models created by Skynet.

Wandering out in search of a good leather jacket to complete his trademark image, the Austro-American actor bumped into the bot.

“I’m right now in Matchless store, right here in Milan. There’s all kinds of action going on, I’ve been trying on 15 jackets, I think I found the right one… but guess who is my partner here!” he said to the camera.

The 71-year-old’s Instagram is typically reserved for sharing old photos of his family and friends while also dropping in the odd political meme, befitting the former governor of California, and of course snippets of his time in the gym.

One such post wished Linda Hamilton, who played Sarah Connor in two Terminator films as well as the upcoming reboot, a happy birthday with a snap of the pair then and now.

“Happy birthday to my dear friend Linda Hamilton,” he wrote.

“One of my favorite co-stars, a true badass, and a wonderful human being. I’m pumped to be back together again.”
