The Terminator is looking a lot more jolly these days.
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger was spotted Tuesday filming a new holiday movie on Fifth Avenue in Midtown.
The star is shooting a turn as "Santa" for a new Amazon Studios film called "The Man with the Bag."
Schwarzenegger was seen crossing Fifth Avenue at 50th Street by Saks with co-star Alan Ritchson. Many social media users commented on Schwarzenegger's changed look with his white beard and hair.
Earlier this week, Schwarzenegger posted a picture on Instagram with Ritchson, praising New York City for being a great host.
"Santa Claus is coming to town!," Schwarzenegger said. "It is fantastic to be shooting The Man with the Bag with @alanritchson. Our director @adamshankman is one of the funniest directors I’ve worked with, New York City is an amazing host, working with @amazonmgmstudios is a joy, and I can’t wait to share all of this Christmas cheer with each and every one of you.
