KEY POINTS

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger has a new aortic valve to go along with the pulmonary valve from his last surgery
  • The "Terminator" actor is already recovering well after the surgery
  • Schwarzenegger shared photos of him enjoying the sights in Cleveland

Arnold Schwarzenegger is recovering well after his second heart surgery. In fact, he's already been walking the streets of Cleveland following the procedure.

On Friday, Schwarzenegger made the surprising announcement on Twitter that he just underwent his second heart surgery in two years, sharing a photo from his hospital bed. The rest of the pictures in his post showed him enjoying the sights in Cleveland.

"Thanks to the team at the Cleveland Clinic, I have a new aortic valve to go along with my new pulmonary valve from my last surgery," the "Terminator" star tweeted.

"I feel fantastic and have already been walking the streets of Cleveland enjoying your amazing statues. Thank you to every doc and nurse on my team!"

Schwarzenegger's post was flooded with supportive messages from his fans. Some wrote that they were praying for the actor's fast recovery, while others advised him to take precautionary measures while in the city due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"Get well guy. Problem with Cleveland and the rest of Ohio is a bunch of folks aren't wearing masks. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. You are better off in Kansas or SF Bay Area where infection rates are low," one commented.

"Get well soon Arnold. Best wishes for a full recovery, and no more surgeries!" another wrote.

"Proof that you just can't keep a Good Terminator down! May you have a quick recovery, Arnold, (but lay off the heavy weights for awhile, won't you?) All the Best to You," a third fan wrote.

Schwarzenegger also underwent a heart procedure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles back in 2018 to replace a pulmonic valve that was originally changed in 1997 due to a congenital heart defect.

At the time, his spokesperson explained that the 1997 replacement valve wasn't meant to be permanent and had outlived its life expectancy, Variety reported. The actor reportedly said, “I’m back,” after awakening from the 2018 procedure.

In August, it was announced that Schwarzenegger was set to star and produce an hourlong spy series which was already in the works at Skydance Television. The global spy adventure series will follow the story of father and daughter. But there are no details yet as to who will play Schwarzenegger's daughter in the series.
