Arnold Schwarzenegger Feels “Fantastic” Hanging Out With the Actress Who Served in the Army Just Like Him and Has “An Accent”

Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to acting with a bang with Netflix’s FUBAR. The show climbed to the top of the viewership charts, and season two is already announced. After FUBAR’s success, Schwarzenegger’s partnership with Netflix got even stronger. Recently, the 75-year-old joined Hollywood stars like Chris Hemsworth at the TUDUM fan event in Brazil. In Brazil, Arnie met Hollywood superstars, including Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot.

In the past decade, Gal Gadot has become one of the most sought-after and popular Hollywood celebrities. The 38-year-old actress stars in the upcoming Netflix feature film Heart of Stone. Earlier, the bodybuilding icon uploaded an image with the Israeli actress and mentioned something they have in common.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gal Gadot share more than one similarity

The 2023 edition of TUDUM was a massive event. The fan event was chalked full of announcements, and surprise reveals. Stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gal Gadot, Chris Hemsworth, Henry Cavill, and more graced the stage. Arnie, who has not been a frequent face in an event full of Hollywood stars, caught up with many.

The 75-year-old uploaded an image with the Wonder Woman star. “It was so fantastic hanging with you,” Arnie wrote in the caption of his post. Always looking to insert some humor, Arnie also mentioned how they shared one quality in a witty way. “And not being the only one at the @netflix event with an accent! @gal_gadot,” added Schwarzenegger.

While the Austrian Oak has been in America since 1968, the bodybuilding icon still retains a unique accent. In fact, many Hollywood stars enjoy doing impressions of his thick Austrian accent. Similarly, the Israeli actress also has a unique accent. Besides the accent, the duo also have another similarity.

Just like Arnie served as a tank driver in the Austrian army, Gal Gadot also served in the Israeli armed forces for two years. The DCEU star also posted the same image on her Instagram profile.

Is that an Arnold Schwarzenegger reference?

While Schwarzenegger is long past his prime, the bodybuilding icon is still an inspiration to many actors. Many of Schwarzenegger’s movies have also become part of pop culture history. Hence, when the 38-year-old uploaded the same image with Arnie and wrote a special caption. “‘It’s Turbo Time’ – Arnold & Me,” wrote Gadot.

The catchphrase, “It’s Turbo Time,” refers to Turbo Man in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Christmas classic, Jingle All the Way (1996). It’s safe to say Gal Gadot cherished meeting the Governator. MCU star Chris Hemsworth also spoke highly of the 75-year-old. To Hemsworth meeting The Predator star was like “a dream come true.”
