Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted "some of us had to change our pants" after a wild elephant charged at his vehicle in South Africa.
The 68-year-old Terminator star caught the encounter on a video he later posted to social media on Tuesday.
When the clip begins, Schwarzenegger is filming an elephant standing in the middle of the road from inside a parked safari vehicle. He can be seen in the lower right corner of the frame as the large animal bats its ears at the truck.
A tour guide starts telling the animal 'No, no, no' as it lowers a tusk into the vehicle's hood with a loud clanging sound.
At that point the driver, who had shut the engine off as to not scare the elephant, fires the vehicle up.
"Is he backing up because of the engine?" a woman can be heard saying.
Schwarzenegger replies: "No, he's going to charge us."
I couldn't have written this encounter better if it was for a movie. Some of us had to change our pants. Take a photo, not a shot.

The elephant then moves to the left of the vehicle and appears to be ignoring the tourists, until it turns back and begins to charge at the vehicle.
I'm absolutely in awe of these beautiful animals, and I wish people would stop killing them for their ivory. pic.twitter.com/FYtO94aXU6

Schwarzenegger was in South Africa promoting Arnold Sports South Africa, which he calls the largest multi-sport festival. The South African event took place in Johannesburg on Friday.
