Austrian-American politician cum filmmaker, Arnold Schwarzenegger believes Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo should be honoured with a new nickname.
The 34-year-old has won five Ballon d’Or and five Champions Leagues along with a number of other major titles for club and country but the Portuguese hit-man has never really been given his own special moniker (aside from CR7).
But Schwarzenegger, who is the star actor of the new movie Terminator: Dark Fate, has an idea up his sleeve.
“In the NBA we have a guy that actually is called The Terminator,” Schwarzenegger told the BBC.
“I don’t think there is any soccer player called The Terminator.
“So why don’t you start one. Ronaldo?
“Yeah, but you have to call him that, so then everyone will pick it up and call him The Terminator.”
The Portuguese hit-man became only the sixth player in history to rack up 700 career goals when he scored in his countries EURO 2020 qualifier against Ukraine earlier this month.
And this isn’t the first time Schwarzenegger has expressed admiration for Ronaldo.

Back in 2013, the 72-year-old told Spanish radio station COPE: “He has a fantastic physique. He has some great abs, he looks spectacular. He looks to be in great shape, so it is clear he’s a great footballer.”
