Austrian-born he-man Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks New Yorkers are weather wusses.
When the former Governator arrived at the premiere of his action opus “Sabotage” and saw the red carpet had been moved indoors because of the cold, he exclaimed, “What is dis? Is dis for da babies?!”
He later told us at the Cinema Society screening that his ripped co-star Joe Manganiello’s abs made him train harder for the movie by David Ayer.
“When you work with guys like Joe, those are the young guys who have the six pack . . . so that motivates you,” he said, adding that he trained with a Los Angeles SWAT team.
Manganiello revealed he was turned down for a role in the 2001 movie “Training Day,” which Ayer wrote.
“I actually screen-tested for it,” he said. “Dr. Dre got the part, but whatever. That guy, he sells headphones or something.”
Despite saying he didn’t mind the freezing temps, Schwarzenegger later hopped a private jet to Miami with Manganiello, while others partied at Muscle & Fitness’ bash at the Skylark.
