Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger's first words after undergoing heart surgery were "I'm back".
The 70-year-old actor is recovering and in a stable condition following the medical procedure in Los Angeles on Thursday.
His spokesman said the star made the jokey remark in a twist to his well-known "I'll be back" catchphrase after waking up from the operation.
Daniel Ketchell said Schwarzenegger "is awake and his first words were actually 'I'm back".
Schwarzenegger had heart surgery to replace a valve that was originally replaced 20 years ago.
Earlier this week, Schwarzenegger seemed in good health when he spoke to CNN about changes in the Republican party.
