Fed up with repair delays, Arnold Schwarzenegger fixes Los Angeles pothole
- The former California governor and a helper used packaged concrete to repair the road in Brentwood
- ‘You have to do it yourself. This is crazy. For three weeks I’ve been waiting for this hole to be closed,’ he said
Fed up by an enormous pothole in his Los Angeles neighbourhood, Arnold Schwarzenegger picked up a shovel and filled it himself.
The actor and former California governor tweeted a video Tuesday of him and a helper using packaged concrete to repair the road in the Brentwood area.
“Today, after the whole neighbourhood has been upset about this giant pothole that’s been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my team and fixed it,” he wrote on Twitter. “I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it. Here you go.”
A neighbour rolled down her car window and shouted her thanks at the action movie star.
“You’re welcome,” said Schwarzenegger, decked out in work boots, a leather jacket and shades reminiscent of his role in Terminator.
“You have to do it yourself. This is crazy. For three weeks I’ve been waiting for this hole to be closed,” he said.
