“This Absolutely Made My Day”: As Arnold Schwarzenegger Reunites With $378 Million Spy Thriller Co-Star After 29 Years, Fans Can’t Stop Gushing

In 1994, Arnold Schwarzenegger had hit rock bottom mentally. Arnie had banked on the success of The Last Action Hero. He loved the script and the concept of the John McTiernan film. However, the 1993 film fell flat in theaters, unable to find its footing against the rampaging success of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. The commercial and critical flop affected Arnie’s mental health, and he sank into depression.

However, James Cameron came to the bodybuilding icon’s rescue in 1994. The Terminator director cast Arnie as the star of his big-budget spy thriller True Lies. In the film, Arnie shared the screen with Jamie Lee Curtis. Curtis played co-lead, as her character played a pivotal role. True Lies was a roaring success, earning $378 million at the box office. However, despite starring in a blockbuster together, it took the pair 29 years to reunite, and the fans can’t keep calm.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis reunite for a noble cause

Nearly three decades after starring as Mr. and Mrs. Tasker in the James Cameron action extravaganza, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis reunited to support after-school programs. Jamie Lee Curtis sported a traditional dirndl while clicking a selfie with her co-star and posted it on Instagram. Curtis also wore a flower crown. However, Arnie wore a casual black t-shirt.

“Ya, my name is Ingeborg, I’m from Stuttgart,” Curtis wrote in the caption. “I LOVE the way my friends suit up and show up for the causes that move their souls and hearts,” the Oscar winner added. The 64-year-old ended the caption with, “@schwarzenegger LOVES @afterschoolallstars and I LOVE ARNOLD! THE GOAT!” Fans showed their excitement at their reunion in the comments.

Ecstatic fans couldn’t stop talking about True Lies

“True Lies is my favorite action movie! You guys look great,” commented one fan. Another fan commented on a reference to the famous stripping scene in the film. “Boris and Doris!” wrote the fan. One fan couldn’t continue her enthusiasm. “Yyyyyyuuaaaasssss!!!!! This absolutely made me day, JLC. You’re the best,” the fan commented on the Everything Everywhere All at Once actor’s post.

Meanwhile, many others wanted the two to star in a True Lies sequel. “True Lies 2 CONFIRMED!” claimed one excited fan. “We need a True Lies sequel!!!!!” demanded another. While True Lies was a standalone film, the open-ended final scene showed Arnie and Curtis’s characters amidst an operation. It seems fans hoped Cameron would expand on the Taskers in another film.
