Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US Health and Human Services Secretary, has shared a workout selfie with Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, sparking a social media frenzy. The photo, posted on Thursday, shows the two men posing at Gold's Gym in Venice Beach, California, with Kennedy captioning it 'Senior's Day, Gold's Gym in Venice'.
Kennedy, 72, and Schwarzenegger, 78, have been friends for years, with their connection dating back to Schwarzenegger's marriage to Kennedy's cousin, Maria Shriver. The pair were previously spotted leaving the same gym last year alongside bodybuilder Ralf Moeller.
The selfie comes after Kennedy made headlines in February for a workout video with musician Kid Rock, which included a shirtless Kennedy on a stationary bike and in a cold plunge tub. That video drew criticism from Democratic Representative Linda Sanchez, who accused Kennedy of spending taxpayer money on 'drinking milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock'.
Schwarzenegger, a moderate Republican who has publicly opposed President Donald Trump, has previously expressed support for Kennedy despite policy differences. 'I don't agree with everything policy-wise, but I like him as a human being,' Schwarzenegger told Andy Cohen last year, adding that he would always support Kennedy.
