LOS ANGELES, June 19 — Arnold Schwarzenegger startled a few fans at Madame Tussauds Hollywood when the actor and former California governor dressed as his character from “The Terminator” series and pretended to be a wax statue.

The prank was produced by fundraising platform Omaze, designed to raise awareness for Schwarzenegger’s charity, After-School All-Stars, which aims to provide after-school programmes for low-income and at-risk youth.

Schwarzenegger will return to his role as a cyborg robot from the future in the next installment of “The Terminator” franchise, “Terminator Genisys,” due out in early July. — Reuters
