Arnold Schwarzenegger’s request after being dropkicked in viral clip

Legendary strongman Arnold Schwarzenegger is in Johannesburg, South Africa, this weekend for the Arnold Classic Africa, a multi-sport event that allows bodybuilders and amateur athletes from Africa the chance to take part in an international competition.

Schwarzenegger, now 71, was dropkicked from behind by an attacker in a crowded gymnasium, and the clip quickly went viral on social media.

Schwarzenegger tweeted after the incident that he was unharmed and that “there is nothing to worry about.” He also asked people on social media to share the video of the athletes who were being showcased at the event instead of the video of the “guy who wants to be famous.”

Schwarzenegger shared a video of a young archer taking a shot from his wheelchair, and posted additional video on his Snapchat account.
