LOS ANGELES - Austrian and American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger had to admit that it took him a lot of practice to nail the tango scene with Canadian actor Carrie-Anne Moss for season 2 of the Netflix action-comedy series "Fubar."
"We practiced. We practiced a lot, and she didn't need as much practice as I did, but I really practiced," the former California governor told Reuters.
The "Terminator" actor recalled doing the first take for the dance scene and impressing everyone with how ready they were.
"They just thought we were rehearsing, but they did not know that we were that prepared for the whole thing," Schwarzenegger said with a smile.
"Fubar" season 2, created by Nick Santora and produced by Skydance Television and Blackjack Films, premiered on Netflix last Thursday.
The story follows Luke Brunner, played by Schwarzenegger and his daughter Emma, played by Monica Barbaro, who are both CIA operatives.
Their fellow CIA team members include Barry Putt, played by Milan Carter, Boro Polonia, played by Gabriel Luna, Roo Russell, played by Fortune Feimster and Aldon Reese, portrayed by Travis Van Winkle.
In season 2, Brunner is back to working with his CIA team, but things take an unexpected turn when he encounters his ex-lover Greta Nelson, played by Carrie-Anne Moss.
Greta is a former East German spy who ends up going up against Brunner in both the tango and a tussling battle.
"Most of my scenes are with Arnold, so we developed this incredible friendship," Carrie-Anne said.
Schwarzenegger humorously recalled the "Matrix" actor bringing what he dubbed as "secret oil" to the set and putting it behind his ears before shooting a scene.
"Peppermint oil. I'm a big peppermint oil or just essential oil person," Carrie-Anne clarified.
"It was like some magic power because as soon as she smeared the stuff behind my ears, I mean it was like 'pum!' and we were kind of out of the gate doing our scenes in the most perfect way," Schwarzenegger added. REUTERS

US Supreme Court rejects bid to revive copyright suit over Ed Sheeran hit 'Thinking Out Loud'

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo Ed Sheeran poses on the red carpet as he attends the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California, U.S., February 4, 2024. REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni/File Photo WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court turned away on Monday a bid to revive a copyright infringement lawsuit accusing pop star Ed Sheeran of unlawfully copying from the late singer Marvin Gaye's 1973 classic "Let's Get It On" in his 2014 hit song "Thinking Out Loud." The justices declined to hear an appeal by Structured Asset Sales, a company owned by investment banker David Pullman that has a copyright interest in Gaye's song, of a judge's decision to dismiss the case. The company had sued Sheeran, his record label Warner Music and music publisher Sony Music Publishing, seeking monetary damages over alleged similarities between the two songs. Gaye, who died in 1984, collaborated with singer-songwriter Ed Townsend, who died in 2003, to write "Let's Get It On," which topped the Billboard charts. Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2015. Structured Asset Sales owns a share of the rights to "Let's Get It On" that previously belonged to Townsend. Its lawsuit accused Sheeran of misusing copyrighted elements of "Let's Get It On" including its melody, harmony and rhythm. U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton decided in 2023 that the musical elements that Sheeran was accused of copying were too common to merit copyright protection. The New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheldthe decision last year. The 2nd Circuit also rejected the Structured Asset Sales argument that Stanton should have considered elements of "Let's Get It On" that were not found in the "deposit copy" of the song's sheet music submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office. In a 2023 trial in a separate copyright lawsuit over the same issue filed by Townsend's heirs, a jury in Manhattan federal court ruled in favor of Sheeran. "It's devastating to be accused of stealing someone else's song when we've put so much work into our livelihoods," Sheeran said outside the courthouse following that verdict. Structured Asset Sales has filed another lawsuit against Sheeran based on its rights to the audio recording of "Let's Get It On." That case is currently on hold.

Broadway hit Beetlejuice The Musical debuts in Singapore in January 2026
Eight-time Tony Award-nominated Beetlejuice The Musical will arrive in Singapore in January. Based on American film-maker Tim Burton's Oscar-winning 1988 film Beetlejuice, the musical follows Lydia Deetz, a gothic teenager who summons a demon to scare away her insufferable parents. It stars Andy Karl as the demon Beetlejuice. He has been nominated at the Tony Awards three times: for Best Actor in a Musical for Rocky (2014) and Groundhog Day (2017), and Best Featured Actor in a Musical for On The Twentieth Century (2015). The production includes the original Broadway set design and costume designs, and special effects that transform the stage into a hilarious and horrifying netherworld. Beetlejuice The Musical will play at the Esplanade Theatre from Jan 15. Tickets go on sale from July 3, with pre-sale access available. Pricing details have not been announced. The production is from Michael Cassel Group and Warner Bros Theatre Venues, which also brought to Singapore the musicals Hamilton and The Lion King. Karl said in a statement: "Beetlejuice is not your typical leading man - unless your typical leading man is a hilarious, fast-talking demon with an attitude and worse fashion sense. He's wildly inappropriate, totally unhinged and, yet, somehow... weirdly lovable?" After the film became a hit, a spin-off animated television series (1989 to 1991) - also developed by Burton - introduced new characters and settings. Beetlejuice was subsequently adapted for the stage in 2018, premiering at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., before heading to Broadway in 2019. Beetlejuice The Musical Where: Esplanade Theatre, 1 Esplanade Drive When: From Jan 15 Admission: Tickets go on sale from July 3, with pre-sale access available via Ticketek Singapore ( and for Esplanade&Me members
