On Wednesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Arnold Schwarzenegger faced a question rarely put to the Terminator: did his new movie make him cry? His answer came with a dodge then an honest confession about the film’s final scenes.
Schwarzenegger plays Santa Claus in The Man with the Bag, which premieres on Prime Video on Dec. 2, with Alan Ritchson and Awkwafina co-starring. Kimmel told the audience he had watched it with his kids the night before and that they loved it. Then he brought up a tip from someone close to the star.
“I heard you cried at the end of the film watching. Is that true?” Kimmel asked.
“Who said that?” Schwarzenegger shot back. When Kimmel said someone very close to him had reported that he teared up at the end, the actor gave ground without fully giving in.
“Well, maybe that could easily be,” he said. “I mean, I’m not going to do an inventory about when I cry and when I don’t cry or something like that.”
He then turned the moment around, teasing the crowd for being surprised that the tough-guy action hero could be moved. “Of course, I have feelings. Of course, I have a heart,” he said. “It’s like unbelievable that you even question that.”

“To be honest with you, when I shot the film, I thought it was a very entertaining and extraordinary film, really well directed by Adam Shankman and all of that stuff,” he explained. “And I was so happy to do it and that, you know, Amazon asked me to do it. But… I wasn’t quite ready for the emotional ending that it had. It was really, really touching.”
Tears at the movies are nothing new for him. In a past CBS Sunday Morning interview, he said he doesn’t hide that he gets tears in his eyes during a sad scene. The holiday project is also his first film since 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate, and it returns him to Christmas movies 30 years after Jingle All the Way.
The production filmed on the streets of New York City, where photographers followed him in the Santa suit. He called them “really terrific and very well behaved” and said their pictures were all over the world the next day. “This is free promotion,” he said, adding that he started serving the photographers coffee, then donuts.
Even his grandchildren got an early look. He recalled calling them while still in costume. “I had the beard on and I had the hat and the whole thing like that,” he said. “And I think they were freaking out a little.” Schwarzenegger is grandfather to three children with daughter Katherine and her husband, Chris Pratt, who call him Opa.
Prime Video describes The Man with the Bag as a holiday heist adventure about second chances and unlikely friendships. Viewers can see the ending that moved its star when the film arrives Dec. 2.
