LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger pranked unsuspecting visitors at Madame Tussauds wax museum.

The actor recently posed as the Terminator wax figure at the museum in Hollywood, California.

The former Governor of California shocked fans when he suddenly came into a life as they stopped for a photograph with him.

“He looks real,” said a female visitor before running away in fear as Schwarzenegger broke his pose. “No touching,” the 67-year-old actor said, shocking a boy who screamed while stepping away. A toddler also cried when Schwarzenegger suddenly asked for a handshake. Before posing as a statue, the Maggie actor, who dressed as the T-800, walked around the streets of Hollywood. He even instructed a truck driver to get out of the vehicle and shopped for sunglasses.

The stunt was organised by Omaze.com to raise money for a range of charities using famous celebrities. The prank was also meant to draw people’s attention to a competition that offers the winners invitations to the Terminator Genisys premiere in Los Angeles next month.
