Arnold Schwarzenegger had a witty answer when asked about his English accent

In October 2019, Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. As Kimmel posed a range of questions, Schwarzenegger mentioned that he has been living in the US for more than half a century now. Not missing the opportunity, Kimmel asked how, despite the time spent on US soil, his accent has been more-or-less the same over the years.
