Arnold Schwarzenegger Spotted Filming at Fanshawe Lake in London, ON

No need to pinch yourself if you happen to see the Terminator walking around London, Ontario these days! Arnold Schwarzenegger was recently spotted filming at Fanshawe Lake as the action star works on the second season of his Netflix series, FUBAR.

On August 7, 2024, locals couldn't believe their eyes seeing Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger at Fanshawe Lake. Sporting his trademark sunglasses and a chunky cigar, Schwarzenegger looked every bit the star while filming FUBAR. He was seen enjoying the beautiful scenery at the Fanshawe Conservation Area, looking as cool as ever.

The filming at Fanshawe Lake is part of a larger shoot for the second season of FUBAR, an action-comedy series that has taken Schwarzenegger all over southern Ontario. Starting in April, the production has already hit popular spots like the Greater Toronto Area and Elora, making quite the journey before landing in London.

Fans and onlookers had a blast spotting Arnold arriving on set, often accompanied by his stunt double. The excitement didn't stop there—London's Mayor Josh Morgan and Kapil Lakhotia from the London Economic Development Corp welcomed him with open arms. Social media was buzzing with pictures of the Mayor and the Terminator himself, creating a local stir.

But let’s not forget another star on set: Canadian actor Jay Baruchel, known for his role in 'How to Train Your Dragon', was also spotted filming. Baruchel plays a character named Carter in FUBAR, adding an extra layer of Canadian pride to the project.

Over the past few months, Schwarzenegger has been making the most of his time in Ontario. Before landing in London, he was frequently seen biking around Toronto, even stopping by famous local eateries like Akira Back. He seems to love soaking up the local culture, making the most of his time between takes.

The choice of Fanshawe Lake as a filming location is not just exciting for fans but also a great opportunity for the city of London itself. This Hollywood spotlight could mean more film productions down the line, boosting local tourism and creating job opportunities.

Schwarzenegger’s presence is a reminder of London's growing appeal as a destination for film and TV productions. As he once famously said, 'I'll be back,' and it looks like he truly meant it when it comes to Ontario!

With filming expected to wrap up by the end of August, London residents still have a few more weeks to potentially catch a glimpse of the Terminator himself. If you are around Fanshawe Lake, keep your eyes peeled—you never know when Arnold might appear!
