It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger has a new training partner.
On Friday, the legendary bodybuilding champion, 76, was spotted working out at the world-famous Gold’s Gym in Venice with Kevin Miles, also known as Jake from State Farm.
It turns out the guys were paired together to work out and hit the weights hard for a new commercial shoot.
At one point, while the cameras were rolling, Miles could be seen talking about the seven-time Mr. Olympia champion standing around and watching him do biceps exercises.
Decked out in the standard Jake from State Farm ensemble of tan khakis and a red long-sleeved shirt, Miles (born Kevin Mimm), 33, had a mesmerized look on his face as he watched the Terminator star pump iron.
Actor Kevin Miles, 33, was filming his next Jake from State Farm commercial at a Gold’s Gym with former bodybuilding champion Arnold Schwarzenegger, 76.
The actor, who took over the role of Jake for the insurance company in 2020, also wore a pair of white and red sneakers.
Miles and Schwarzenegger filmed together in the outdoor area of Gold’s Gym, which the Predator star made famous decades ago.
The Austrian was sporty dressed for the shoot in black sweatpants with a matching sweatshirt and sneakers.
Since it was cold, the Old Hollywood leading man also wore a black jacket, while sporting cool dark sunglasses as he stepped outside for part of the shoot.
Since both men have been vocal about their commitment to a healthy lifestyle, it was only fitting that the two ended the shoot by riding away on their bikes together.
Miles began starring in the insurance company’s commercials in 2020, replacing Jake Stone.
The 2011 commercial showed a man who called the insurance company at 3 a.m. and his wife answered the phone. Believing she caught him talking to another woman, she picks up the phone and asks “Jake from State Farm” what he’s wearing, to which he responds with the iconic phrase, “Uhhh… khakis?”

About nine years later, State Farm introduced Mills as the new Jake, and he has since starred in several advertisements, and the company has seen the character’s popularity rise.
Miles has even become a social media influencer, in the wake of growing his followers on Instagram and TikTok.
Miles beat out 40 other finalists who competed for the gig, some of which he recognized.
“I was definitely really nervous going in just because you see these actors that you admire and have seen before you went for this role and you just think, ‘Oh c**p, I know they’re great, Miles said. on the Then Patrick Show in 2021.
“I think I just happened to test well in the focus groups and I just wanted to make something that felt close to me and close to who I am.”
Before Miles was cast as Jake, he was an aspiring actor who appeared in a few small roles, including an appearance in an episode of Criminal Minds and SWAT.
However, his work as State Farm’s Jake has opened many more doors for him over the past three-plus years.
