American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is a multi-talented individual with titles in bodybuilding, politics, and entertainment.
However, with his latest film job, the former California governor can now add becoming Santa Claus to his list, as he plays the Christmas gift-giver in the upcoming holiday film “The Man with the Bag.”
“Santa Claus is coming to town!” Schwarzenegger posted on Instagram on Tuesday, “I can’t wait to share all of this Christmas cheer with every one of you.”
Schwarzenegger shared a photo of himself posing with his costar, actor Alan Ritchson, with whom he’s currently filming in New York City.
The “Terminator” star appears in a shaggy white beard and hairdo, and a red wool coat over a festive Christmas sweater in the photo.
“The Man With the Bag” follows Santa, who turns to his naughty list to find a former thief to help him get his stolen magic bag back, according to a summary of the Adam Shankman-directed film.
In 1996, he starred in the holiday family comedy “Jingle All the Way” as a father who goes to tremendous and humorous efforts to obtain a popular item for his son’s Christmas.
“The Man with the Bag” will be Schwarzenegger’s first significant feature film appearance since 2019’s “Terminator: Dark Fate.”
