I'll be back... after my cigar break: Arnold Schwarzenegger takes things slowly as he has a sly puff on set of Terminator: Genesis



He is one of the hardest working men in showbusiness.



But Arnold Schwarzenegger looked in bliss as he had a sly smoke break on the set of Terminator: Genesis in New Orleans on Thursday.

The Austrian Oak looked like he was having a great time as he sat back and relaxed in a SUV while puffing away on the luxury cigar, despite the fact he was in full make-up.



The tobacco-nator: Arnold Schwarzenegger made short work of a cigar on the set of Terminator: Genesis in New Orleans on Tuesday

The 66-year-old is a well-known connoisseur of fine tobacco, and he seemed to be relishing every draw as he waited around as a scene was being set up by the crew.

Bodybuilding legend Arnold looked in remarkable for shape for his age when he finally emerged from the vehicle, and it is clear he has been working out hard in the gym as he gets ready to step back into his most iconic role.

His arms and chest were bulging, stretching his tight black T-shirt to the limit, and he completed his ensemble with trousers and boots.

A well-earned break: The action hero puffed away on his cigar in between takes as he made the most of a brief break in his filming schedule Action man: The movie star was sporting realistic-looking prosthetic cuts all over his face, suggesting his alter-ego had been involved in some form of scrape

Still got it! Arnie was looking in buff shape as he wandered around on set in a charcoal T-shirt and cargo pants

The actor also had a head full of grey hair, perhaps as his cyborg character will be adopting a much older appearance in the forthcoming film.

Or he may even be playing the man whose likeness was used to disguise the killer robots.

Not that the filmmakers have any choice, as Arnold still looks far removed from the mountain of muscle who caught the attention of science fiction fans with his imposing turn in the 1984 original.

Who's that fellow? There was a familiar looking face relaxing in a car having a cheeky break

Sly puff: Of course it was Arnold taking advantage of a break in filming to sneak away and indulge his love of cigar smoking Come with me if you want a smoke: Perhaps Arnold will bond with his new castmates by offering free cigars

The Austrian smoke: The bodybuilding legend is famous for his love of fine cigars and even erected an outdoor smoking tent in the courtyard adjacent to his office in Sacramento during his spell as governor The series' fifth installment looks like a return to the series' roots as a time-bending thriller after the disappointing Terminator Salvation, which was set in the future. After a drawn out development period, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke was cast to play a young Sarah Connor, with Die Hard 5′s Jai Courtney cast as Kyle Reese, and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes favourite Jason Clarke signed up for the role of John Connor The film, which is the first in a new trilogy, is said to shifts the timeline further into the past, though firm details on the plot have yet to be released.
