Arnold Schwarzeneggar has shown he has a heart of gold with a sweet gesture for children in the run up to Christmas.

While Arnold Schwarzeneggar certainly used to scare millions with his Terminator character, a new generation of children are seeing a sweeter side to the actor and former politician.

On his social media channels, Schwarzeneggar shared a video of himself at 42nd annual Miracle On First Street event at the Hollenbeck Youth Center in Los Angeles.

Here he gifted children in need a bunch of presents and chatted with parents and staff while posing for pictures.

Speaking about why he does this every year, he explained he wanted to repay the generosity he had received when he arrived in the country.

“When I came to this country my friends from Gold's Gym had a huge Christmas for me and invited me to their house. It was fantastic. They gave me Christmas gifts and they had this beautiful Christmas tree, and I felt so included here in America even though I was a foreigner and just came to this country,' he recalled while at the youth centre.”

Social media users praised Schwarzeneggar for his generosity and called on other users to think about how they can help out others during the holiday period.
