Arnold Schwarzenegger sends fans wild with super flexible video - but he has them fooled

Arnold Schwarzenegger has left his fans completely fooled after he shared an astonishing video that showed off incredible flexibility fans thought he had.

The former Governor of California, 72, shared a hilarious video on Twitter that appeared to show him doing some very impressive splits on his kitchen counter.

Sharing the clip with his 4.6 million followers, the former Mr Olympia penned: "Flexibility is as important as the pump."

The clip sees him explain how important stretching is, as he tells his followers: "Flexibility is just as important as weight training itself - so here we go. Suck it in, up with the arms, and then bend slowly to the sides."

Arnie continued to pretend it was actually him doing the splits, however towards the video he walked away from the pair of legs as he said: "Anyway, I feel very flexible today I'm very proud of myself," as he walked away whilst smoking a cigar.

The video instantly went viral, racking up over a whopping 54k likes.

As many began questioning whose legs he used for the hilarious clip, some eagle-eyed fans noticed the former bodybuilder use tennis ball tubes for the structure of the oh-so-flexible limbs.

The father-of-five is currently self isolating in his California mansion with son Joseph Baena and his pet pony and donkey.

Joseph was fathered by Arnold when he had an affair with Mildred Baena, and the youngest son of the actor wasn’t know to the public until 2011.

Fans of Arnie have been astonished by the similarities between the father and his son, Joseph – particularly since the young gentleman has followed in his Austrian father’s famous footsteps.

The fitness model has been keen to show off his physique in photos he has posted online – which have been reminiscent of Arnie’s infamous past bodybuilding snaps.

The hunk, who has 142,000 online followers himself,  recently wowed as he stripped shirtless to show off his muscles.
