Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carrie-Anne Moss make magic in 'Fubar' season 2
Jun 16, 2025 3:33 AM

LOS ANGELES, June 16 (Reuters) - Austrian and American

actor Arnold Schwarzenegger had to admit that it took him a lot

of practice to nail the tango scene with Canadian actor

Carrie-Anne Moss for season 2 of the Netflix ( NFLX ) action-comedy

series "Fubar."

"We practiced. We practiced a lot, and she didn't need as

much practice as I did, but I really practiced," the former

California governor told Reuters.

The "Terminator" actor recalled doing the first take for the

dance scene and impressing everyone with how ready they were.

"They just thought we were rehearsing, but they did not know

that we were that prepared for the whole thing," Schwarzenegger

said with a smile.

"Fubar" season 2, created by Nick Santora and produced by

Skydance Television and Blackjack Films, premiered on Netflix ( NFLX )

last Thursday.

The story follows Luke Brunner, played by Schwarzenegger and

his daughter Emma, played by Monica Barbaro, who are both CIA

operatives.

Their fellow CIA team members include Barry Putt, played by

Milan Carter, Boro Polonia, played by Gabriel Luna, Roo Russell,

played by Fortune Feimster and Aldon Reese, portrayed by Travis

Van Winkle.

In season 2, Brunner is back to working with his CIA team,

but things take an unexpected turn when he encounters his

ex-lover Greta Nelson, played by Carrie-Anne Moss.

Greta is a former East German spy who ends up going up

against Brunner in both the tango and a tussling battle.

"Most of my scenes are with Arnold, so we developed this

incredible friendship," Carrie-Anne said.

Schwarzenegger humorously recalled the "Matrix" actor

bringing what he dubbed as "secret oil" to the set and putting

it behind his ears before shooting a scene.

"Peppermint oil. I'm a big peppermint oil or just essential

oil person," Carrie-Anne clarified.

"It was like some magic power because as soon as she smeared

the stuff behind my ears, I mean it was like 'pum!' and we were

kind of out of the gate doing our scenes in the most perfect

way," Schwarzenegger added.
