Arnold Schwarzenegger has urged his Instagram followers to "ignore the morons" amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The 72-year-old actor has posted a video message on the platform, revealing he’s gone into self-quarantine amid the health crisis and is set to spend the coming days having fun with his pets – including a mini horse and a llama – at his home in California.
In a video message in which he is seen feeding his pets, Schwarzenegger explained: "The important thing is that you stay at home, because there’s a curfew now. No one is allowed out – especially someone who is 72 years old.
"After you’re 65, you’re not allowed outside the house any more, you’ve got to stay at home."
Schwarzenegger – who has more than 19 million followers on Instagram – captioned the video message: "Stay at home
"Stay at home as much as possible. Listen to the experts, ignore the morons (foreheads). We will get through this together.‬ (sic)"
Meanwhile, fellow Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon recently admitted she feels "stressed" and "confused" about coronavirus.
The Oscar-winning actress – who has kids Ava, 20, Deacon, 16, and Tennessee, seven – feels as though she’s been "flooded by opinion" amid the ongoing health crisis.
She said: "I’m feeling everything that everyone out there is feeling: confusion, stress.
"I’m trying to look for the most scientific facts and not listen to too much opinion. I feel flooded by opinion. (I’m) talking to friends who I find very grounding."
Reese, 43, has discussed the issue with her mother – but she concedes "we’re all in new territory".
The ‘Morning Show’ star reflected: "It’s never happened in my lifetime. Talking to my mother and hearing a historical perspective is interesting from her. But I think we’re all in new territory."
