Master and Apprentice! Arnold Schwarzenegger lunches with Mickey Rourke... after hitting back at Trump over ratings by suggesting job switch
He had just been publicly humiliated by President Donald Trump over his dire ratings.
But Celebrity Apprentice host Arnold Schwarzenegger did not seem overly concerned as he puffed away on a cigar after lunching in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
While it may have been due to the fact he landed his own cutting riposte via social media, another reason may have been he was still beside himself with joy after bumping into erotic movie legend Mickey Rourke.
Dining over Donald: Trump would have been a topic of discussion when Arnold Schwarzenegger bumped into Mickey Rourke at lunch in Beverly Hills on Thursday
The dynamic duo, a dream movie double act in the 1980s, looked in fine form for men in their 60s.
Arnold, who is worth an enviable $300 million seemed in remarkably high spirits considering he had just been given a verbal spanking by the new President at a prayer breakfast over his dire ratings as the new host of Celebrity Apprentice.
The Donald said: 'They hired a big, big movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger to take my place, and we know how that turned out,"
"The ratings went right down the tubes. It's been a total disaster. And [producer] Mark [Burnett] will never, ever bet against Trump again. And I want to just pray for Arnold, if we can, for those ratings.'
The 69-year-old Terminator star fired back in a social media video, saying: 'Hey Donald I have a great idea, why don’t we switch jobs?

'You take over TV, because you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job and then people can finally sleep comfortable again.'
While Arnold was mulling over his feud with the alleged leader of the free world, his sidekick was looking in fine form for a 63-year-old in a hooded top and ripped jeans, though it was his wonderful Elvis-esque wig that really stole the stylistic show.
Once famed for his pretty boy looks, Mickey's career in boxing and botched plastic surgery to repair the damage dramatically altered his appearance.
He previously admitted: ‘I had my nose broken twice. I had five operations on my nose and one on a smashed cheekbone.
‘I had to have cartilage taken from my ear to rebuild my nose and a couple of operations to scrape out the cartilage because the scar tissue wasn't healing properly.

'Most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together.'
And just to pile on the agony, he said he was forced to undergo an even more excruciating procedure to solve another health problem.
He said: 'That was one of the most painful operations, but the worst was haemorrhoids.’
Between 1991 and 1994 Mickey fought eight times, winning six and drawing two, however his opponents were mainly tomato cans.
He returned to the ring and won an exhibition fight by knockout in 2014, however his opponent later claimed he had been paid to throw the fight.
