Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carrie-Anne Moss Make Magic in 'Fubar' Season 2
Austrian and American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger had to admit that it took him a lot of practice to nail the tango scene with Canadian actor Carrie-Anne Moss for season 2 of the Netflix action-comedy series "Fubar."
"We practiced. We practiced a lot, and she didn't need as much practice as I did, but I really practiced," the former California governor told Reuters.
The "Terminator" actor recalled doing the first take for the dance scene and impressing everyone with how ready they were.
"They just thought we were rehearsing, but they did not know that we were that prepared for the whole thing," Schwarzenegger said with a smile.
"Fubar" season 2, created by Nick Santora and produced by Skydance Television and Blackjack Films, premiered on Netflix last Thursday.
The story follows Luke Brunner, played by Schwarzenegger and his daughter Emma, played by Monica Barbaro, who are both CIA operatives.
Their fellow CIA team members include Barry Putt, played by Milan Carter, Boro Polonia, played by Gabriel Luna, Roo Russell, played by Fortune Feimster and Aldon Reese, portrayed by Travis Van Winkle.
In season 2, Brunner is back to working with his CIA team, but things take an unexpected turn when he encounters his ex-lover Greta Nelson, played by Carrie-Anne Moss.
Greta is a former East German spy who ends up going up against Brunner in both the tango and a tussling battle.
"Most of my scenes are with Arnold, so we developed this incredible friendship," Carrie-Anne said.
Schwarzenegger humorously recalled the "Matrix" actor bringing what he dubbed as "secret oil" to the set and putting it behind his ears before shooting a scene.
"Peppermint oil. I'm a big peppermint oil or just essential oil person," Carrie-Anne clarified.
"It was like some magic power because as soon as she smeared the stuff behind my ears, I mean it was like 'pum!' and we were kind of out of the gate doing our scenes in the most perfect way," Schwarzenegger added.

For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority and President of the Saudi Boxing Federation, addressed the crowd after being introduced to the stage by legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer, before UFC CEO Dana White stepped up to oversee the press conference ahead of the fight of the century between the two biggest fighters of the modern era for the undisputed super middleweight title.

Gigi Hadid's latest cashmere launch inspired by New York
DUBAI: US Palestinian Dutch supermodel and brand founder Gigi Hadid has released her latest collection — and a new summer campaign — under her cashmere label Guest in Residence. The new line was inspired by New York, according to Hadid, who founded her brand in 2022. A post shared by Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid) 'I'm endlessly inspired by New York City — a place I've called home for many years — and the notion that we're all guests here. For our collection, we embrace the great duality every New Yorker faces in Summer: the thrill of a busy day in the city, paired with the urge to hop in a car with friends and escape to somewhere quiet and laid-back. No matter where you find yourself, our cashmere pieces embrace a spirit of timelessness that always works,' Hadid is quoted as saying on the Guest in Residence Instagram page. The launch was complemented by a video campaign shared on social media, in which Hadid is joined by fellow models as they explore New York in the summer. Paolo Santosuosso acted as the campaign's art director, while the looks were styled by Elizabeth Fraser-Bell. Hadid launched her clothing label, which features soft, colorful knitwear, in September 2022. A post shared by GUEST IN RESIDENCE (@guestinresidence) 'Over the last handful of years, I didn't want to be backed into starting my own line just because there was an offer on the table or a deal to be made,' she wrote to her followers on Instagram at the time. 'The earliest days of Guest in Residence came about when I started to question the cashmere market, and those answers gave me a path,' she added. 'I believe that because of its sustainable qualities — natural and made to cherish and to pass down — cashmere is a luxury that should be more accessible.' Celebrities including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Swift and Bradley Cooper have been spotted wearing the label's designs. In June, Hadid also unveiled a new campaign with Brazilian footwear brand Havaianas. The model, who launched a line with the flip flop label, starred in a vintage-inspired series of photographs. In the shots, she shows off slippers from her collection with the brand and is seen wearing retro outfits on a beach.

The Brad Blizzard: Panthers star's love for desserts reaches a new level
For one day only: The Brad Blizzard available at Dairy Queen. The snack story of the Stanley Cup playoffs – did Brad Marchand eat a Blizzard between periods of a playoff game or not? – reached its celebratory peak Friday. A Dairy Queen in Sunrise, Florida, where the Panthers play their home games, renamed the treat for the day in honor of the now two-time Stanley Cup winner. The Brad Blizzard was one of his favorites: the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor, though on Friday the primary ingredient wasn't called chocolate chips but rather 'chocolate chirps' – a nod to the verbal jabs that hockey players give one another on the ice. 'I love seeing the excitement from everyone,' Marchand said while working at the DQ for a little while, actually making the treats and handing them out to customers both inside the store and at the drive-thru window. 'These are moments that you love to appreciate.' Marchand was not having a Blizzard between periods of that game in the Eastern Conference final against Carolina – it was honey, but cameras captured Marchand enjoying something off a spoon, and the story just took off from there – but Blizzardmania was born. Marchand and several of his teammates went to DQ on off days for the treats, including on the night before ending the Stanley Cup Final against Edmonton in Game 6. Marchand said they went before Game 6 for good luck. The Panthers won 5–1 a day later to take the Cup. 'It's incredible, the moments that you look back on and at the time you don't really appreciate what they could mean at the end of the day,' Marchand told reporters Friday. 'The first time we kind of went as a group to Dairy Queen, we were just going for a walk. We wanted to walk off our dinner and have Dairy Queen for dessert, and it became this huge organic moment in the playoffs. … Those are the things you look back on and you have fun with.' It has been a nonstop party for the Panthers since winning the Cup, with trips to the famed Elbo Room bar to interact with fans, a team dinner at a Miami restaurant on Thursday night – one where tennis great Martina Navratilova, who just happened to be having dinner in the same spot, got to sip from the Cup – and a slew of other appearances. Marchand had 10 goals and 10 assists in the playoff run for the Panthers, who won the Cup for the second straight season. He was acquired at the trade deadline by Florida general manager and hockey operations president Bill Zito from rival Boston, and the tale of how Marchand – who was far from a fan favorite in Florida before the trade – became beloved by Panthers fans was one of the compelling stories of the postseason. Marchand and the Panthers will have their championship parade on Fort Lauderdale Beach on Sunday, and then free agency starts July 1. Marchand is a free agent, though he has indicated a willingness to remain in Florida and had a message for the Panthers during his DQ shift. 'Give me a contract,' he said.
