The 77-year-old American actor of Australian descent, bodybuilder, film star, and producer Arnold Schwarzenegger has transformed into Santa Claus, and his fans didn’t recognize him in this new look. It marks the actor’s latest role in a holiday film in nearly three decades.
It turns out that the Santa Claus look was created for the movie “The Man in the Bag.” For the role, Arnold hid his face under a white beard and wore a loose Christmas sweater with a red pickup truck on it, complete with a tree in the back. His outfit was completed with brown corduroy pants, a red duffle coat, and a fun hat with a pom-pom.
Paparazzi spotted Arnold on Fifth Avenue in New York in this outfit and were amazed at how much he had changed.
Schwarzenegger himself posted a photo on Instagram with actor Alan Ritchson, with whom he is filming the movie.
“Santa Claus is coming to town! It’s fantastic – shooting The Man in the Bag with @alanritchson. Our director @adamshankman is one of the funniest directors I’ve worked with, New York is an amazing host, working with @amazonmgmstudios is a joy, and I can’t wait to share this holiday spirit with each of you,” Arnold wrote alongside the photo.
