Arnold Schwarzenegger looked completely unrecognizable as he continued filming as Santa Claus for his new movie The Stock Market Man in New York on Tuesday.
The actor, 77, began filming the upcoming Christmas hit earlier this week, showing off his striking beard and white eyebrows.
Arnold, known for his numerous action movie roles, returns filming his first holiday movie in nearly three decades.
The Hollywood legend looked far removed from his days of action as he transformed into Santa on set.
For the scene, he wore a white crew-neck sweater, a red pickup truck with a Christmas tree on the back, and brown corduroy pants.
Later, she bundled up in a long red coat that looked perfect for Kris Kringle to wear while spreading Christmas cheer throughout Manhattan.

Arnold previously appeared in the 1996 Christmas family comedy as a workaholic father on a mission to get his son a sold-out action figure, which leads him to learn the true meaning of Christmas.
The former California governor, who recently became a grandfather for the third time, joins a long list of actors who have played Jolly Old St. Nicholas, including Ben Affleck, Tim Allen, Billy Bob Thornton and Kurt Russell.
In March it was first revealed that the Hollywood legend would star in another Christmas comedy.
Adam Shankman directs the Amazon MGM Studios film from a script by Allan Rice.
The plot reads: “When Santa’s magic bag is stolen, he turns to his naughty list to find Vance, a former thief, to help him get it back.
“Along with his daughter, Santa, and a group of misfit elves, Vance will have to pull off the biggest heist of his life to save Christmas.”
It will be Arnie’s first time appearing in a holiday movie since Jingle All The Way in 1996.
And it will be his first film role of any kind since Terminator: Dark Fate in 2019.

He filmed the movie Kung Fury 2 that year, but it was not released due to legal problems.
And he was seen in his documentary last year for Netflix.
The three-part docuseries followed Arnie’s multifaceted life and career, from bodybuilding champion to Hollywood icon and politician.
Arnie played the title character in the Terminator franchise, but admitted last year that he was “done” with the movies.
He believes the future of the series should be passed on to other stars, Maria Shriver’s ex added.
At the time, the actor told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘The franchise is not over. I’m done.
“I got the message loud and clear that the world wants to move forward with a different theme when it comes to ‘The Terminator.’ Someone has to come up with a great idea.
Arnie explained that he will always have happy memories of the franchise that made him a true protagonist.
Arnold is best known for his roles in many action films, including The Terminator, and his days as a bodybuilder (pictured in 1976).
He said: “Terminator was largely responsible for my success, so I always looked back on it very fondly.”
In addition to his acting career, he is the father of five children: daughters Katherine, 35, and Christina, 31, and sons Patrick, 31, Christopher, 27, and Joseph, 27.
She shares all of her children with Shriver, except Joseph, whose mother is Mildred Patricia Baena, her longtime housekeeper.
