Earlier today, Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Instagram and shared a video of him and two other people fixing a huge pothole on the side of the road. Arnie revealed his whole neighborhood had been upset because it was “scre*ing up cars and bicycles for weeks.” So The Predator actor took bags of asphalt and construction equipment to fill the pothole.

“I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it. Here you go,” wrote the 75-year-old. Despite his age, Schwarzenegger helped with the entire process. He poured bags of asphalt over the shallow ditch, spread it out with a shovel, and smoothed it out to be flush with the rest of the road. A lady driving by, stopped her car when she saw the former Mr. Universe fixing the road.

She seemed pleasantly surprised and thanked the Austrian Oak before driving away. However, constriction work is nothing new to the former Mr. Universe. Arnold Schwarzenegger used to work in construction for years after coming to America in 1968. He even ran a successful brick-laying business with his best friend and former Mr. Olympia, Franco Columbu. Fans reacted to Arnie’s latest video in the comments.
