Arnold Schwarzenegger might have been dubbed a “friend” by Donald Trump, but the former California governor has outrightly refused to answer any questions about his billionaire buddy in an awkward interview in Australia.
The 68-year-old actor and bodybuilder brought an abrupt end to an interview on Network 7's Weekend Sunrise program on Saturday morning when asked about the Republican presidential frontrunner.
“This is an interview that I only do about fitness and health, not about politics or my relationships,” Schwarzenegger told host Angela Cox before abruptly terminating the interview.
The journalist’s interest was no doubt piqued by the fact Schwarzenegger will be overtaking Trump’s previous role as host on the Celebrity Apprentice.
The billionaire businessman tweeted his support for Schwarzenegger when he learned of the news.
Earlier this month, Schwarzenegger endorsed Republican candidate and Ohio Govenor John Kashich in a series of social media posts before joining the candidate at a rally in Columbus in Ohio.
Schwarzenegger and Trump did not return requests for comment.
