The multi-hyphenated actor didn’t shy away to take the matters and a shovel in his hands to fix a pothole problem in his neighborhood.

Arnold Schwarzenegger said he was upset about the pothole problem in his neighborhood
For several days, Arnold Schwarzenegger was bothered by a pothole. Following the rainy season, road crews were unable to keep up with the demand for repairs. After waiting for a long time, Schwarzenegger thought the right thing to do would be to pick up the shovel and fill the pothole himself. In the video, the actor is spotted filling the pothole without any hesitation just like a normal citizen in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles where he stays in a 15,000-square-foot home.
A woman saw the Twins actor filling the pothole and she approached him and said “Oh, Arnold!’” The actor responded by explaining that he had been waiting for 3 weeks for this pothole to be fixed. The actor said,
“You’re welcome, You have to do it yourself. This is crazy. For three weeks I’ve been waiting for this hole to be closed.”
In the caption of the video, the actor explained that it wasn’t just him who was upset about this pothole, but other people in his neighborhood were equally upset about it. The former governor wrote,
“Today, after the whole neighborhood has been upset about this giant pothole that’s been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my team and fixed it.”
He further added, “’I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it. Here you go.”
Schwarzenegger’s video has received a lot of love and appreciation on the internet. This video has received numerous comments and likes and is being widely shared.
LA Department of Public Works claimed a Trench was filled by the actor
As per CBS News, the Los Angeles Department of Public Works explained in a statement that the pothole which was filled by the actor and his team was a trench that had been dug for utility work. They also stated that they coated the trench with asphalt for a while before replacing it with a long-term surface. One of the officials said in a statement,
“We have notified the Gas Company of the issue and the need for them to maintain the site pavement until their permanent paving is constructed.”
After the actor posted a video of himself filling the pothole, the utility crew members returned to ensure that the area was completely repaired this time. Based on the reports, rain delayed the work of fixing the trench for a very long time.
