Arnold Schwarzenegger had some unexpected guests over for Thanksgiving.
Police responded to a possible bomb threat at the “Terminator” actor’s Los Angeles home on Thursday, according to TMZ.
According to Los Angeles Police Department sources, officers received a call about a bomb that was allegedly placed in Schwarzenegger’s mailbox.
However, when law enforcement arrived, they discovered no explosive devices on the property, according to reports.
It was said that the 77-year-old former governor of California was working out while the search was going on.
The actor-turned-politician has 24/7 security and watched video surveillance, so Schwarzenegger’s security told the police that it would be very hard for someone to have planted a bomb.
It is said that the LAPD is treating the incident as a swatting, and no one has been arrested yet.
Page Six asked the actor’s representatives for a comment, but they did not answer right away.
Ahead of the scare, Schwarzenegger spent the days leading up to the holiday giving back to the community.
On Tuesday, the famed actor teamed up with his “True Lies” co-star Tom Arnold to hand out turkeys at the Hollenbeck Youth Center in Los Angeles.
The volunteers reportedly handed out over 1,000 frozen birds as well as tortillas and other produce to local families, who began lining up around the block as early as 2 a.m.
Schwarzenegger has been going to the event every year for more than forty years.
He told the Boyle Heights Beat, “I had such a great time.” “Because it made me feel so good, I have done it every year since.”
“It makes me so happy to give the turkeys away again… because I know this season is all about sharing,” he said. “America made me feel welcome when I came here as an immigrant, and I love America.”
The Austria native reflected on his first Thanksgiving in the States, explaining that he had never felt such a strong sense of community.
“When I came to America in 1968, I didn’t even know what Thanksgiving was … people from the gym just came to my empty apartment and they brought sheets, silverware, dishes and food and a radio,” he recalled.
“The generosity of the American people was so extraordinary. I’ll always remember those things.”
