In the photo, the 76-year-old actor dons a bright red coat with large toggle buttons, layered over a colorful knit sweater and complemented by a long, patterned scarf. He completes the transformation with a white beard and wavy gray hair.
Standing beside him is actor Alan Ritchson, casually dressed in a neutral-toned coat and black cap, subtly contrasting Schwarzenegger’s striking seasonal look.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
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 @amazon is a joy, and I can’t wait to share all of this Christmas cheer with each and every one of you.
Others complimented his new look, suggesting that embracing his natural gray hair suits him well. Another echoed a similar sentiment, “For a moment I couldn’t tell it was Arnold until I read who posted this, then I recognized 😃 It was the hairstyle that made him a bit unrecognizable.”
