What’s Arnold Schwarzenegger doing to the pass the time while self-isolating during the coronavirus pandemic?
Well, he’s playing chess with a donkey, of course.
(Yes, feel free to add your own joke/punchline here if you want.)
The “Terminator” star/former California governor recently tweeted a picture of himself sitting across the chessboard from his donkey Lulu.
“Here’s your daily Lulu update — she’s not the best chess partner but she’s getting there. If you’ve been putting off something like learning chess with your family, use the time you’d normally be out and about,” Schwarzenegger writes.

The tweet is one of several social media posts that the star has made recently encouraging people to stay home and keep both themselves and others safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
His recurring guests in these posts are Lulu and Whiskey the horse.
His four-legged companions have actually developed so much of a following that Schwarzenegger is now selling T-shirts featuring all three of them — Arnold, Lulu and Whiskey — with the proceeds going to help provide food for families in need during this crisis.
“Since you guys love Whiskey and Lulu so much, 100% of the proceeds from this shirt will go to @ASASafterschool, to help in our mission to provide food for the families we serve while schools are closed. Support us here: https://represent.com/stayinside/arnold-schwarzenegger-s-stay-inside-tee,” Schwarzenegger tweets.
