Arnold Schwarzenegger pranks fans by portraying Terminator at wax museum (video)

Some Terminator fans got up close and personal with the legendary machine from the movies although they certainly didn’t expect it.

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger pulled a fast one on unsuspecting visitors to Madame Tussauds wax museum in Hollywood. Dressed as the iconic T-101, Schwarzenegger stood perfectly still and pretended to be one of the museum’s famous wax statues.

But when visitors got close to snap a picture, the Terminator came to life, scaring some fans out of their wits and giving everyone a good laugh.

The former California governor staged the prank to raise awareness for After-School All-Stars, a group that serves at-risk youth in 15 cities across the country. He’s offering fans a chance to attend the premiere of the latest film in the Terminator series, Terminator: Genisys, which opens July 1.
