'Real-life machine': Internet compliments Arnold Schwarzenegger as he posts first picture with pacemaker

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Internet is wishing  Arnold Schwarzenegger good health after he posted his first pictures with a pacemaker on March 28.

In the picture posted on Instagram, Schwarzenegger, 76, can be seen relaxing in a chair, wearing his “pacemaker” — a clock with a “high voltage” sign attached as he looks at the camera.

Arnold Schwarzenegger assures fans that pacemaker won't cause any problems with FUBAR Season 2

Alongside the photograph, Schwarzenegger wrote a caption thanking fans for their kind messages and assured them that the pacemaker wouldn't be any problem for filming the second season of the TV series 'FUBAR'.

“Thank you! I’ve gotten so many kind messages from all over the world, but a lot of people have asked if my pacemaker will cause any problems with FUBAR Season 2,” the caption read.

“Absolutely not," he wrote, adding, "I will be ready to film in April, and you can only see it if you’re really looking for it.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger starring FUBAR was renewed for a second season in June 2023

'FUBAR' premiered on Netflix in 2023, featuring Schwarzenegger as a CIA operative alongside his daughter, portrayed by Monica Barbaro.

The series was renewed for a second season in June 2023 and became the most streamed television series during the week of its debut, despite receiving mixed reviews, according to US Weekly. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger jokes about becoming a little bit more machine

Schwarzenegger first disclosed his surgery in the Monday, March 25 episode of his podcast, 'Arnold’s Pump Club.' 'The Terminator' star quipped that the operation made him slightly "more like a machine."

Arnold Schwarzenegger's most recent surgery was the implantation of a pacemaker, a procedure necessitated by a congenital heart defect known as a bicuspid aortic valve, which he has had since birth.

In 1997, he underwent a pulmonic valve replacement to improve the blood flow from his heart to his lungs, and in 2018, he had open heart surgery to replace the same valve.

In 2020, he underwent surgery to replace his aortic valve, which facilitates the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body. He mentioned that the latest surgery was essential because scar tissue from the previous operation had caused an irregular heartbeat.

Though Schwarzenegger is recovering well, he says he will require regular checkups and won’t be doing “serious training in the gym for a while.” He added that after his surgery, he was back out doing events.

Internet wishes good health to Arnold Schwarzenegger

After the picture with the pacemaker appeared on social media, fans wished Schwarzenegger good health.

"That’s not a pacemaker. We all know it’s a brand new power cell. Hasta la vista, baby 🦾🕶️," a fan commented in support.  

"It looks like those time bombs in the movies 😅," wrote another, "Sending healing vibes 👏," added one more.

"DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE ⚡️ That’s @schwarzenegger always! Looking strong & healthy, Arnold!," one more wrote referring to 'The Terminator' character.

"A real-life machine. Nothing can stop you!" added another fan.

Netflix commented, "omg so excited for season 2 to start production!!!.," One added, "I see what you’re doing, closer and closer to being a real terminator."
