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.
