The few times I've encountered a celebrity, I have been the opposite of chill. I stutter and get all flustered and have generally decided to just appreciate their presence from afar from now on.
I've always been jealous of my friends who could seemingly chitchat casually with the stars of our favorite shows.
To make it extra nerdy, the music playing was the Buffy the Vampire Slayer theme and it was at a Star Trek convention.
I mean, I could never bring myself to walk up to a celebrity at the grocery store.
Most fans are pretty good about not going too far, though.
The actor and politician is in South Africa this weekend for the Arnold Classic Africa sports festival.
The festival included more than 90 events, from athletics to talent competitions, and Arnold is there to encourage everyone.
Which is what he was doing during a jump rope competition when another fan captured a shocking moment on video.
The man jumps into the air and kicks the 71-year-old star right in the back with both feet.
Whoever was filming got knocked by the crowd, so we don't see much more of the aftermath.
The closest anyone has come to understanding it is: "Help me, I need a Lamborghini."
Which would be a very odd thing to yell.
In a follow-up tweet, he assured people that he didn't even realize he was kicked, believing someone had only jostled him before seeing the video for himself.
Mostly, he was just glad the guy waited until after he was done recording his Snap.
This afternoon, he requested that people also share the stories and videos of the many incredible athletes taking part in the festival.
He's absolutely correct that the focus should ultimately be on them rather than one idiot trying to get famous.
Besides being shocking, it's also kind of hilarious how little impact the guy made with his kick.
I mean, Arnold didn't even register that is was a kick!
This version gives a much better look at how little the kick actually moved Arnold when it connected.
It's a better option for sharing if you don't want to give the attacker even the small amount of voice he gets in the original.
In it, they indicate that the man is known to have staged similar stunts and is in police custody. They also confirm that Arnold doesn't intend to press charges.
