Actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday tweeted a video of himself using concrete to patch a pothole in the road in the Brentwood area.
“Today, after the whole neighborhood has raged over this giant pothole that has been bugging cars and bikes for weeks, I’m out with my team and fixing it,” he wrote on Twitter. “I always say: let’s not complain, let’s do something about it, and here it is,” she adds.
One neighbor even rolled down her car window and yelled her thanks to the action movie star. “You’re welcome,” said Schwarzenegger, dressed in work boots, a leather jacket and glasses reminiscent of his role in “Terminator.”
“You have to do it yourself. This is crazy. I’ve been waiting for three weeks for them to close this hole,” he added. Daniel Ketchell, a spokesman for Schwarzenegger, said Brentwood residents have made repeated calls for repairs since winter storms left potholes and cracks on local roads.
Mayor Karen Bass last week announced a plan to deal with what she called an unprecedented number of damaged streets across the city. Since Dec. 30, Los Angeles has received 19,692 repair requests and, as of April 6, crews had filled at least 17,549 potholes, according to authorities.
