Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California, was back in South Africa recently for his intercontinental festival, the Arnold Classic Africa Multisport Festival.

The Terminator star was filming a jump rope competition when a “crazed fan” decided to test his resilience.

Keep in mind that Arnie almost got owned by an elephant when he was down for the Multisport Festival in 2016, so he has a history with weird events coinciding with the competition.

Back to the crazed fan. Skip ahead to 50 seconds to see him fly-kick the actor:

Yeah, for some reason he’s shouting “help me, I need a Lamborghini”. There are surely more productive ways of going about this?

EWN reports that Schwarzenegger was unhurt and that security removed the man from the event.

Let’s see that fly-kick from a different angle:

He barely registers the kick. Not surprising from the man who didn’t flinch when explosions were going off around him.

According to Channel 24, a statement released by Arnold Classic Africa Multisport Festival notes that the man is “known to the police for orchestrating similar incidents in the past”.

So he fly-kicks celebrities often. Weird hobby, but you do you.

As for Schwarzenegger, until he saw the video, he thought he simply got “jostled by the crowd”.

He won’t be pressing charges, and has urged fans to share videos of the competitors in the competition, rather than the video of the fan.

But let’s get real – I’ll watch a fly-kick over a jump rope session any day.
