Arnold Schwarzenegger has said hasta la vista to his old hairdo.

The 69-year-old unveiled a hipster cut in Vancouver whilst filming Taran Killam's upcoming film Why We're Killing Gunther.

New look: Arnold Schwarzenegger was spotted on Wednesday sporting a trendy hairdo on set in Vancouver

The former Governor of California had trimmed the sides of his hair down to a buzz, gelling the longer middle upward.

A burgeoning beard finished off his new look.

The Terminator star tucked in his white T-shirt and used a belt with a colossal buckle to cinch his jeans. A pair of flip flops completed the costume.

By Thursday, it appeared that hairdo was a character tic rather than an off-camera decision. The True Lies actor's Snapchat saw his hair in his more frequent slicked back do as he took a break from the shoot and swung by Stanley Park.

Killam's feature comedy, which he also wrote, stars the Austrian ex-bodybuilder as a world class hit man, whom a group of disgruntled other killers-for-hire decide to murder.

It recently emerged that the Saturday Night Live star had left the programme after six years in the cast. On Monday, he gave an interview to UPROXX, clarifying the details of what had been a faintly murky development.

'You sign for seven years, so I had one more year,' he explained. 'I had sort of had it in my head I would make this upcoming year my last year, but then heard they weren’t going to pick up my contract. I was never given a reason why, really.'

However, he did point out that Why We're Killing Gunther would necessitate 'two months of post-production that would have bled into the production schedule, so we kind of communicated that.'

The programme's approach to scheduling conflicts could, he revealed, be somewhat unpredictable. 'Sometimes people are allowed to miss days out of the week to go film movies and sometimes you’re not allowed to do a guest spot.'

All that notwithstanding, the 34-year-old, whose departure coincides with those of his castmates Jay Pharaoh and Jon Rudnitsky, insisted that he had 'no gripes at all.'

His prevailing attitude, to hear him tell it, was that 'I got my dream job. I set out to be on SNL and I got to do that and I did very well. And I love and adore and will forever have close ties and tight bonds with the brilliant, smartest, funniest people I’ve ever met in my life.'

Why We're Killing Gunther is slated for release next year.
