Before becoming a Hollywood hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger had his own successful masonry business.

And now it seems he’s returned to the construction industry as the unlikely star of an advertising campaign.

The Terminator actor, 76, fronts advertisements for discount supermarket Lidl’s range of power tools.

As proof that he still likes to get his hands dirty, the ad shows him getting started with a chainsaw and electric drill.

“I’m here to talk about my tools for success,” he says. “Everything I’ve ever built was because I had power in the palm of my hands. Just like you!’

One scene shows him holding a statue he supposedly carved of himself in a pose from his bodybuilding days.

He and a friend ran a masonry business in Los Angeles in the late 1960s after moving from Austria.
