Arnold Schwarzenegger shows off his pacemaker: a ticking bomb

Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most recognized actors in Hollywood action films. The politician and former bodybuilder has also starred in films such as Conan the Barbarian or Terminator, among many others, and that is why everything that happens in his life becomes news. In the last few hours, the actor thanked his fans for the support he has received after undergoing surgery to implant a pacemaker. The star also assured the public that his recovery would not delay the premiere of FUBAR's second season.

"Thank you! I have received many kind messages from all over the world, but many people have asked me if my pacemaker will cause any problems with season 2 of FUBAR," Schwarzenegger said on his social networks. "Absolutely not. I will be ready to film in April and you will only be able to see it if you are really looking for it," said the 76-year-old interpreter.

On the other hand, alongside his words shared in the post, there was a photo of himself, showing his pacemaker depicted as a cartoon bomb on top of his chest. The image looks like a time bomb. In the comments, his followers applauded him and wished him a speedy recovery. "You are a legend," one comment reads. "Feel better brother. You have to move on, there is always a solution," said another user.

The first time Schwarzenegger shared that he had undergone surgery was on Monday's episode of his Arnold's Pump Club podcast, when he explained to his followers that the operation had allowed him to become "a little bit more of a machine." "First of all, I want you to know that I'm doing great! I had surgery on Monday and Friday, and I was already at a big environmental event with my friend and fellow fitness advocate Jane Fonda," he said, praising the actress because She is "healthy" and "looks fantastic."

"No one would have ever thought that I started the week with surgery. I want to thank my entire team at the Cleveland Clinic. All the doctors and nurses took wonderful care of me and made the surgery as painless as possible," he expressed in his podcast, explaining what the operation he underwent was actually like.

Despite the operation, Arnold has made it clear that FUBAR will begin filming next April. The series stars the actor, who plays a CIA agent who discovers that his daughter (Mónica Barbaro) also works for the agency. They are forced to reluctantly team up on the action comedy created by Nick Santora (Reacher, Scorpion). The first season was released in May 2023 and the series was renewed a month later in June. Now fans are looking forward to seeing how it continues to develop.
