Visitors can also pay for similar packages to meet 2017’s World’s Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, 32, and Canadian mixed martial arts star Georges St-Pierre, 39.

Arnie — known for catchphrases “I’ll be back” and “Hasta la vista, baby” — has more acting projects lined up, including movies The Legend Of Conan and Triplets plus TV series’ Superhero Kindergarten and Outrider.

Austrian-born Arnie is said to have got £22million for Terminator 3 in 2003 – thought to be one of ­Hollywood’s highest fees.

Arnie separated in 2011 from American journalist wife Maria Shriver, 65, after it emerged he’d had a son 14 years earlier with their housekeeper.
