WATCH: Arnold Schwarzenegger vs elephant

The encounter might have left him in an uneasy state, having to change his pants.


Arnold Schwarzenegger received a not-so warm welcome to the African bush from an elephant. The 68-year-old Terminator actor is currently in South Africa for the Arnold Classic Africa international sporting event that was held in Johannesburg over the weekend.

On Tuesday he went on a safari and had an unfriendly encounter with an elephant.

“I couldn’t have written this encounter better if it was for a movie. Some of us had to change our pants,” he said on Twitter.

He however shared that the encounter had not changed his mind about the beauty of the animal.

“I wish people would stop killing them for their ivory.”
