Arnold Schwarzenegger was spotted in New York City dressed as Santa Claus while filming his new movie The Stock Market Man.

The sighting comes as the Terminator star’s mansion in Brentwood, California, continues to be threatened by the Pacific Palisades fire.

Arnold, 77, sported a white beard for his role as Jolly Old St. Nick and wore a red coat with toggle closures.

The coat had a hood and the Jingle All the Way actor also donned a red, white and black scarf and a beanie with a pom pom on top.

In one photo, the former Mr. Universe spread his arms while standing in front of 30 Rock.

He also did the same pose on the ice rink at Rockefeller Center.

Arnold is filming his first holiday movie in nearly three decades.

He previously appeared in the 1996 Christmas family comedy Jingle All The Way as a workaholic father on a mission to get his son a sold-out action figure, allowing him to learn the true meaning of Christmas.

The former governor of California joins a long list of actors who have played Saint 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. Reacher star Alan Ritchson also stars.

The synopsis 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.”

This is Arnold’s first film since Terminator: Dark Fate in 2019. He filmed Kung Fury 2 that year, but it was not released due to legal issues.

The Palisades Fire started Tuesday morning and the Eaton Fire in Pasadena started shortly after.

More than 180,000 people in Los Angeles have been evacuated, a modest estimate of 9,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed, and at least 10 people have lost their lives.

There are four additional fires in Topanga/Calabasas, Acton, Simi Valley and Hollywood Hills.

The fires were sparked by Santa Ana winds, which produced gusts of up to 80 to 100 mph on Tuesday and Wednesday as firefighters tried to control the flames.

Entire neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades and Altadena have been wiped off the map due to fires.

The Calabasas fire, called the Kenneth Fire, was allegedly caused by an arsonist, who was arrested by police.

A total of 29,053 acres of land have burned as of Friday morning in Los Angeles’ worst fire to date.

Many celebrities have seen their multimillion-dollar mansions razed as the fire spread to the Hollywood Hills and Calabasas.

“We are heartbroken, of course, but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this.
