Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared to be in good spirits as he chomped on a cigar in New York City on a busy day in which he promoted his new book Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life.

The Terminator star, 76, was pictured wearing a dapper ensemble of a navy blue blazer over a navy blue polo shirt with amber brown slacks and dark brown lace-up boots as he was pictured in the Big Apple on the autumn day.

The Austria-born star, who held office as California’s 38th governor from 2003 to 2011, was pictured headed to the Upper East side eatery Nello New York, which serves Northern Italian fare.

According to Page Six, the fine dining establishment has long been a favorite of the Kindergarten Cop leading man.

Other celebs who have been partial to the establishment include Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Mick Jagger, Selena Gomez and former President Donald Trump.

Following the meal, the FUBAR actor was pictured at the venue 92nd Street Y, where he discussed his latest literary endeavor with Ryan Holiday.

The Total Recall star later took to Instagram to thank his fans for their support after a successful outing.

‘I had a wonderful time talking about Be Useful with @ryanholiday in front of thousands of my fans tonight at @92ndstreety,’ Schwarzenegger said, while sharing a series of photos from the event, in which he signed autographs.

The Predator actor added, ‘I appreciate everyone that came tonight and watched online, and I can’t wait to hear how the book helps you.’ 

The veteran action star last week used his Conan sword to open the first box of copies of the new book, which went on sale today.

‘I got the first box of my books, so I brought the whole team to inspect them,’ Schwarzenegger said in the caption for the clip. ‘I know my rules can help you, no matter what you want to do in life, because they’ve helped me every step of the way.’

Schwarzenegger — who attended Oktoberfest proceedings last month in Munich, Germany — was clad in a black T-shirt and pants as he stood in the backyard of his Southern California home alongside his pet donkey Lulu and pony Whiskey.

He hoisted up his sword from the 1982 film Conan The Barbarian to perforate tape on the cardboard box containing the books.

According to a description of the book from Amazon, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life details Arnold’s ‘seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life’

‘Fantastic, Be Useful, it’s out, the first package full of books, Be Useful,’ Schwarzenegger said as he was surrounded by his pets. ‘Look at this, Lulu, isn’t it exciting? Whiskey, look at this!’

According to a description of the book from Amazon, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life details ‘the seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life – distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.’

Speaking with People about the book last week, Schwarzenegger was asked about key advice he’s received from costars throughout the years.

He said he learned considerably about the craft of acting working alongside Oscar winners Sally Field and Jeff Bridges in the 1976 film Stay Hungry.

Schwarzenegger said that it ‘was absolute heaven to me to watch them perform, how smooth they were and how much I had to grow’ as an actor.

He said the key was ‘to be natural’ and ‘not to act,’ adding, ‘It’s what made Sally Field start falling into tears and crying and throwing fits. It was really her.’

Schwarzenegger said that he idolized another Oscar winner in Clint Eastwood ‘because he was kind of Mr. Cool.

‘His approach of not being noisy, that he was able to listen, I always loved that,’ he said. ‘Because I always thought that there’s something to be said about listening.’

The book description cited Schwarzenegger’s ‘stratospheric success’ in the fields of bodybuilding, Hollywood and politics, saying that ‘this did not happen by accident’ but rather ‘happened as part of a process.

‘As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back.

All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful.

‘As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father’s adage close to his heart.’
