His bizarre video workout with Kid Rock apparently wasn’t enough, so Robert F. Kennedy packed up his game and headed out west to exercise with the Terminator.
The 72-year-old secretary of Health and Human Services posted a selfie on social media that shows him posing with former California governor and action-movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger, 78, in a large room full of workout gear.
“Senior’s Day, Gold’s Gym in Venice,” Kennedy wrote Thursday, albeit with a misplaced apostrophe.
The two men have been friends for years and were once related through Schwarzenegger’s marriage to Kennedy’s cousin, Maria Shriver. It ended in divorce.
Last year, a paparazzi video captured the men leaving the same gym with bodybuilder Ralf Moeller.
Kennedy, a leading vaccine skeptic who’s in charge of the Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative, made headlines in February when HHS posted a video montage of him working out with Kid Rock in the rapper’s home gym in his sprawling mansion outside Nashville.
It included segments that show a shirtless Kennedy wearing blue jeans and no shoes while furiously pedaling a stationary bicycle and submerging himself in a cold plunge tub.
During an April appearance before the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., accused Kennedy of suspending a “pro-vaccine messaging campaign” while “spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock.”
“And somehow you think that’s a better public health message,” she said.
Kennedy shot back, “You’ve got a lot of misinformation there.”
Last year, Kennedy also appeared in videos that show him doing pull-ups with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
Schwarzenegger, a moderate Republican who’s publicly opposed President Donald Trump and endorsed his 2024 rival, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, last year said of Kennedy: “I don’t agree with everything policy-wise, but I like him as a human being. I mean, he’s fantastic.”
“So when I ran as a Republican and a Democrat like Bobby Kennedy helps me, I said to myself that I should always be there for him. No matter if I believe in everything that he does or not, I will always support him,” he told TV and radio host Andy Cohen, according to USA Today.
