Arnold Schwarzenegger was seen stepping out on Friday in Beverly Hills, Calif., days after he called mask-averse Americans "schmucks" and said, "screw your freedom," to those seeking to terminate COVID-19 mandates.
The former governor of California was spotted wearing a grey tee and black shorts paired with sunglasses and a cowboy hat.
A maskless Schwarzenegger also chomped on a cigar for the outing where he hung out with friends and drove his custom Hummer throughout the city.
Earlier this week, the "Terminator" franchise star, 74, made his case for people to shelve the argument that their "freedom" was more important than the coronavirus pandemic.
"People should know there is a virus here," he said during the interview, which he also shared on his social media accounts. "It kills people, and the only way we prevent it is to get vaccinated, wear masks, do social distancing, washing your hands all the time, and not just to think about, ‘Well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed here.'"
In an op-ed for The Atlantic on Friday, Schwarzenegger said: "I’ll admit, calling people schmucks and saying ‘Screw your freedom’ was a little much," though he still stood by the statement.
Schwarzenegger explained that his passion for "keeping America great" could cause him to lose his "temper."
He then shared in the piece titled, "Don’t Be a Schmuck. Put on a Mask," that he knew he’d be "called a RINO" but it "doesn’t bother" him.

The dad of five noted that America was founded on the "willingness to make personal sacrifices for the collective good," but he fears that many Americans "have now lost sight of that."
Schwarzenegger emphasized that "we need to protect ourselves and win this war."

LOL. Buh-bye. Buh-bye.

i have german heritage and despise that part of german culture. the obey authority and do as you’re told bs.
He is a heart patient and is smoking and not wearing a mask in a “pandemic”.
He should be dead by now yet somehow he is not.
Not even a sniffle.
Maybe just maybe we are being lied to....
If I recall correctly, Arnold is from a former communist country. Individual rights do not exist when the case is made for central authority over the collective. That’s where the eggs get broken for the greater good - Utopia.
