Renowned actor Arnold Schwarzenegger found himself in a bit of a humorous situation after passing through Munich customs with some new jokes up his sleeve.
Attending an auction in Kitzbuhel, Austria, the “Terminator” star took the stage to auction off a luxury watch that he had supposedly forgotten to declare at the Munich airport the day before, resulting in a brief detention.
In a video captured by TMZ, the 76-year-old Schwarzenegger began the auction with a comedic routine centered around the incident, entertaining the audience with his witty remarks.
Reflecting on the customs ordeal, Schwarzenegger humorously mentioned how he was suddenly in handcuffs, teasing the crowd with, “I mean, can you believe that all of a sudden I was in handcuffs?”
During the event, the former California governor shared a lighthearted anecdote about the handcuffs, attributing them not to the watch or customs but to a playful encounter with his 48-year-old girlfriend, Heather Milligan.
Amusingly, Schwarzenegger recounted a conversation with a customs officer who jokingly threatened him with handcuffs if he misbehaved, to which he responded with a comical retort, “Hey, that's okay.
That's a great deal because usually I pay $500 for that.”
Further enhancing the comedic atmosphere, Schwarzenegger showcased the prized $100,000 Audemars Piguet watch that was the highlight of the auction, mentioning how customs agents even searched for a second timepiece he had hidden away.
Despite the light-hearted banter, representatives for Schwarzenegger were unavailable for immediate comment when contacted by The Post.
An insider revealed to TMZ that the audience was captivated by Schwarzenegger's tales from the customs incident, enjoying approximately eight minutes of engaging storytelling.
The entertaining episode culminated in the successful sale of the watch for a staggering $293,000, as reported by the outlet.
Another source disclosed to Page Six that Schwarzenegger cooperated fully with customs officers, answering all questions truthfully despite not being asked to fill out a declaration form initially.
Describing the situation as a “total comedy of errors,” the source emphasized Schwarzenegger's cooperation throughout the amusing three-hour discussion regarding potential taxes on the watch, suggesting it could be a plotline for a humorous cop movie.
