Arnold Schwarzenegger hands out turkeys in Los Angeles ahead of Thanksgiving

Arnold Schwarzenegger gave back to his community this week as he handed out turkeys in Los Angeles.

The 77-year-old former California governor — who endorsed Kamala Harris last month— was in good spirits as he appeared at Hollenbeck Youth Center and greeted families.

Speaking to Fox 11 at the event, the Terminator actor said about service, ‘Giving back, to me, is everything.’

According to the outlet, Schwarzenegger has kept up the tradition for more than 30 years.

He was joined by 65-year-old actor and comedian Tom Arnold at the youth center, and the two posed up for snapsH๏τs together. 

Arnold said about the spirit of volunteering, ‘It’s something that will stay with you forever.’

The longtime Hollywood fixture wore a casual all-black look for the pre-holiday, showing his patriotism in a black bomber jacket with an American flag patch on one sleeve and a California flag on the other. 

He was similarly patriotic two weeks earlier as he marked Veterans Day with a sentimental social media post.

Engaging his nearly 30 million Instagram followers, he wrote in a caption, ‘Today, I want to thank each and every one of our veterans. 

‘You make this country the greatest country in the world. You put yourselves at risk for all of us. You served us, and now you deserve our service.’

The note was accompanied by a carousel of images that showed the star serving pizza to veterans. 

‘I also want to ask all of my followers and fans to do more than enjoy the holiday or post a picture of a flag. It is our turn to serve these heroes,’ he urged.

‘My tradition is bringing pizza to the vets at the Veterans Affairs center in LA and hanging with them to make sure they know how thankful I am. You can make your own tradition – thank a veteran, buy them dinner, or just write to your politicians and demand that we take better care of our heroes,’ he added.

Schwarzenegger was formerly married to journalist and Kennedy family member Maria Shriver.

Schwarzenegger first crossed paths with Maria, the niece of 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, at a tennis match in August 1977. 

The two got engaged after Arnold popped the question in his home country of Austria in 1985.

The former couple tied the knot in 1986 in a ceremony at the Kennedy family home in Mᴀssachusetts.

In their 25-year marriage, the pair welcomed daughters Katherine and Christina, as well as sons Patrick and Christopher.

Arnold fathered a son, Joseph, — who was born just days before Christopher — with his mistress, leading to his split from Maria.
