The video sees Arnold sitting in the passenger side of a black SUV with the window rolled down.

Wearing a protective facemask and the sleeve of his T-shirt lifted to expose his bicep, the actor was all jokes while a nurse stepped in to inoculate him.

‘Put that needle down!’ he quipped as she approached him, as apparent reference to his often quoted Jingle All the Way quote ‘Put that cookie down!’ 

The whole ordeal looked pretty painless and took less than a minute to complete. ‘All done!’ the nurse said as she applied a band-aid and congratulated Schwarzenegger.

Arnold said he was ‘rooting’ for the 46th president as the world watched the new administration get sworn in during the ceremony at the Capitol in Washington, D.C, that featured performances by Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez.

‘I’m rooting for you @JoeBiden,’ Schwarzenegger tweeted on Wednesday morning. ‘Your success is the country’s success.’

Schwarzenegger served as the 38th Governor of the state of California for eight years and has denounced Donald Trump despite his own Republican political affiliation.
