Arnold Schwarzenegger may've been a bodybuilder and governor but it doesn't look like he'll be adding comedian to his repertoire anytime soon.
People are flooding to social media in fits of giggles over a resurfaced video of the 76-year-old trying to make a joke about money while being interviewed by British radio station KISS FM.
Prepare yourself for a painfully awkward moment:

There's not many things Schwarzenegger hasn't done. Whether it be becoming one of the most recognised bodybuilders in the world, an actor in some of the biggest action movies and also Governor of California.
And with a reported net worth of $450 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, he clearly knows how to make the big bucks.
But the question KISS FM posed to the father-of-five, is what he's found is the easiest way to make money.
KISS FM's breakfast crew sat down with Schwarzenegger in May, 2014 to chat about his acting career, as well as his money-making secrets.
Host Charlie Hedges asked Schwarzenegger: "I want to talk about you, as in in real life. Right, so your biography says Austrian-American actor, politician, businessman, investor and former professional bodybuilder. What's the easiest way to make money? Doing which one?"
And the actor responded: "Well, the first, most important thing is everyone tells you the first million is the hardest to make. So start with the second million."
Unfortunately, the joke didn't quite land and Hedges, along with co-hosts Melvin O'Doom and Rickie Haywood Williams were left sat in silence, waiting for Schwarzenegger to carry on speaking.
Imagine tumbleweed rolling in a desert.
After an excruciatingly long moment of silence, the hosts still waiting for Schwarzenegger to reveal his secrets, the former bodybuilder questions: "Hello? That was supposed to be funny, guys."
The radio show team erupt into laughter, even when Schwarzenegger tells them to 'Wake up' and 'Get your act together'.
"I thought you were going to tell us what," Hedges admits. "I wanna be a millionaire."
The clip has since resurfaced, shared to X - formerly known as Twitter - by account All The Right Movies.
The caption reads: "On a UK radio show, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER's money making humour isn't picked up by the presenters."
And people are flooding to the post in stitches over Schwarzenegger's joke, the host's reactions - or lack of - and Schwarzenegger's subsequent frustration.
One user said: "Hilarious."
"He actually has a great sense of humor that many people miss," another argued.
A third commented: "Maybe because Brits like witty humour and Arnie’s joke wasn’t funny. His reaction was funny, though."
And a fourth resolved: "Poor Arnie, left him hanging."
