The former Governor of California shocked fans when he suddenly came into a life as they stopped for a photograph with him, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"He looks real," said a female visitor before running away in fear as Schwarzenegger broke his pose.

"No touching," the 67-year-old actor said, shocking a boy who was screaming while stepping away.

A toddler even cried when Schwarzenegger suddenly asked for a handshake.

Before posing as a statue, the "Maggie" actor, who dressed as the T-800, walked around the streets of Hollywood. He even instructed a truck driver to get out of the vehicle and shopped for sunglasses.

The stunt was organised by Omaze.com to raise money for a range of charities using famous celebrities.

The donation will be given to After-School All-Stars, a charity which provides after-school programs to keep children safe.

The prank was also meant to draw people's attention to a competition which offers the winners invitations to the "Terminator Genisys" premiere in LA next month.
