Arnold Schwarzenegger and his childhood friends

On May 16, Arnold Schwarzenegger uploaded an image with four others sitting at a dinner table. The men in the photograph looked about the same age as the Governator. “Back with the boys,” Arnie wrote in the caption. “I’m so lucky that I’m still buddies with my elementary school friends from Thal,” he added.

In the image, the 75-year-old and his four pals smiled while raising a glass to their decades-old friendship.
