So this happened: boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko and former bodybuilder, actor and Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger swapped pleasantries and funny photos on Twitter.

Their posts have since gone viral and, honestly, it’s not even that difficult to understand why.

It all started with an older tweet from Klitschko, which included a photo of himself trying to replicate one of Arnie’s most iconic poses.

“Ish ... . Lol. Trying to catch u since I'm 12. @Schwarzenegger #stanglwirt,” he wrote. The tweet was picked up on Reddit and, somehow, made its way to Arnie.

He wasn’t just kind enough to reply, but also joined in the fun.

“@Klitschko Great shot! It’s fantastic to see one of my favorite champions nailing my pose. Right back at you,” Schwarzenegger wrote, including a photo of himself doing one of Klitschko’s poses.

You can see it in the gallery below.
