“Tom’s still a young kid, he’s only 60,” the Terminator actor said. Promptly agreeing to his revelation, Barbaro shared that the iconic actor seems even younger, owing to his enthusiasm. She told, “And he seems like he’s thirty. He’s got all the energy in the world.” Apart from that, speaking of their new series, a hilarious instance also came to light in the interview. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger made her co-actress jealous with his love for animals

According to the video, the American actress often brought her pet dog, Augie, to the sets of FUBAR. However, she would be extremely engrossed in her scenes, leaving the dog waiting around. Thus, Schwarzenegger took notice of the situation and began feeding her pet, freshly prepared Wiener Schnitzel, every chance he got. This led to Augie growing fonder of The Austrian Oak than Barbaro.

After the actress found out, she was instantly concerned. “She gets jealous that why is he spending more time with you than with me, and I said because I take care of the dog,” the pro jokingly clarified. Barbaro retorted with a witty argument that her dog gained a lot of weight because of his love.
