- Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chris Hemsworth ran into each other in Brazil.
- The stars worked out together ahead of Netflix's Tudum event on Saturday.
When it comes to action heroes, "Terminator" star Arnold Schwarzenegger is the gold standard. The Austrian actor has collected numerous gun-toting roles over the years, like "Predator," "Commando," "Last Action Hero," and "The Expendables."
A younger star who's had a similar trajectory in recent years is Chris Hemsworth, who made a name for himself playing the titular God of Thunder in "Thor," before reprising the role several times in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's also known for the likes of the "Huntsman" movies, "12 Strong," and Netflix's "Extraction."
Those parallels go even further since both stars have a love of fitness and getting a chiseled physique for their roles, with Schwarzenegger recently recalling how surprised he was that Linda Hamilton was "more cut" than him on "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."
Schwarzenegger's Netflix series "FUBAR" recently arrived on the platform, and he attended the streamer's Tudum event in Brazil over the weekend to give subscribers a look at future shows and movies heading to the platform.
Schwarzenegger and Hemsworth accidentally met up before the event Saturday, and they gushed over each other after getting to work out together.
Hemsworth took to Instagram to share a photo with the 75-year-old actor, writing: "Ya never know who you'll bump into at the gym! What a dream to train with the one and only."
Schwarzenegger commented on the picture by hyping up his new friend, writing: "Look at how pumped you are. The delts. The triceps."
The Austrian actor also tweeted the photo, writing: "First we get our pump, then we go pump up the fantastic fans in Brazil."

Speaking to People on the Tudum red carpet, Hemsworth said working out with Schwarzenegger was a "dream come true."
He added that Schwarzenegger was "as gracious and kind as I'd hoped," and called it "a pretty special moment."
