Arnold Schwarzenegger, 72, appears under the weather on a bicycle ride

Arnold Schwarzenegger had a case of the sniffles as he rode his bicycle through Los Angeles on Wednesday morning.

The 72-year-old action star, best known for The Terminator, was seen wiping his nose with a white Kleenex as he pedaled his way through a quiet street.

This comes after the former Governor of California told fans to stay home during the spread of the coronavirus.

He wiped his face several times.

The twins actor wore a black cap that said Sheriff and also modeled a varsity jacket in black and maroon.

Arnold added black slacks and sensible slide-in sneakers in black with a white sole.

His bicycle looked much better than ones sold at target as it had extra wide tires and plenty of hardware.

Smartly, Arnie stayed in the green painted bicycle lane; surely the former Governor does not want to break any laws.

The former bodybuilder seemed to have a friend by his side in a red-and-black bike.

Over the weekend, he filmed a video of himself self-isolating with his beloved equine companions, encouraging others to adhere to the strict rules enforced upon citizens in his state.

Two days after sharing a hand-washing tutorial, Schwarzenegger is back on a mission to reduce the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) amid the global pandemic.

He made his followers smile with a sweet video of himself feeding his beloved pets carrots before wrapping them up in a hug.

Sitting at his kitchen table with a pony under one arm and a donkey under the other, The Terminator star addressed the world.

He captioned the video: ‘Stay at home as much as possible. Listen to the experts, ignore the morons (foreheads). We will get through this together.’

The star wrote: ‘See the important thing is that you stay at home. Because there is a curfew now.

‘No one is allowed out, especially someone who is like 72 years old. After you’re 65 you’re not allowed out of the house anyway in California. So we stay home, and we eat here.’

He paused his spiel to feed his furry friends some carrots, cooing: ‘Oh yeah! That was yummy, huh. I’m with Whiskey and that’s Lulu.

‘Whiskey loves carrots, Lulu loves carrots. I just had my little bit of vegan food.’

Arnie continued: ‘We don’t go out, we don’t go to restaurants, we don’t do anything like that anymore. We just eat. We just eat and have a good time

Amused: The star's followers were amused by the video, with his son Patrick Schwarzenegger joking, 'I hope to see memes from this'

‘We get entertained. Look at that beautiful smile she has. We just have a good time, eating here together. So much more fun than going outside!

‘No more restaurants OK! Forget all that! Public gatherings, gymnasiums, out the window! We stay home.’

The veteran Hollywood star concluded his video by grabbing each animal and kissing them on the head.

‘I have you both! Look at this picture here!’, he cooed. ‘No biting! You’ve got to get along. Good girls.’

The star’s followers were amused by the video, with his son Patrick Schwarzenegger joking, ‘I hope to see memes from this’.

One fan enthused, ‘I wish this guy was in office’, while another joked, ‘Lmao Arnold’s lost it’.

Over the weekend, Schwarzenegger first displayed his wacky sense of humour by filming a hand-washing tutorial… for his dog Cherry.

He wrote: ‘Wash your hands. I tried to do a hand-washing tutorial for Cherry but I think you guys will pay more attention. Be safe. Wash your hands.

‘Listen to scientists and experts, not foreheads. Together, we can slow this down and protect each other. #COVID19.’

The amusing clip sees the film star telling his nonplussed pet pooch: ‘Look at this Cherry, this is how you wash your hands. Watch this! You wash it very, very clean!’.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Sunday night advised against holding large gatherings of more than 50 people for at least eight weeks to fight coronavirus.

The recommendations led to four states ordering bars and restaurants to effectively shut – limiting them to take out only – and New York City ordered the same as well as the shutting down of nightclubs, cinemas and theaters.

California was the first state to take such action when Gov Gavin Newsome called for all bars to shut their doors and advised restaurants to cut seating capacity by 50 per cent.

In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio said he would order all bars and restaurants to close their dine-in options to customers effective on Tuesday.
