Arnold Schwarzenegger believes Kawhi Leonard could have a future in acting after working alongside the Los Angeles Clippers star on a commercial for his upcoming movie "Terminator: Dark Fate."

"Kawhi is great," the actor and former California governor told Arash Markazi of the Los Angeles Times. "He's very funny and very natural on camera."

The commercial, which also features Paul George and actress Linda Hamilton, shows Schwarzenegger and Leonard bumping into each other at the gym.

"The finished product turned out great," Schwarzenegger said. "... Both of those guys were very funny and natural.

"I liked that we showed he's a real Terminator. At the end when he walked away, his eyes lit up. Maybe there's something else we don't know about this guy."

Schwarzenegger is a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers but said he understands why Leonard and George chose to sign with the Clippers.

"They've created their own little special thing and that's really important for the identity of the Clippers," he said. "LeBron has his own thing with the Lakers and I wish him well. The focus is on the personalities this season. With Kawhi and Paul, the Clippers have two of the best personalities, and they're fun to watch. I'm going to tune in to watch to see if they can pull it off this season."
