Arnold Schwarzenegger says he is feeling "fantastic" after his recent heart surgery.

The 73-year-old Terminator actor and former California governor said on social media Friday (local time) that he had a new aortic valve implanted in his heart. He posted a photo of himself with a thumbs up from his hospital bed.

"Thanks to the team at the Cleveland Clinic, I have a new aortic valve to go along with my new pulmonary valve from my last surgery," he wrote.

The actor underwent heart surgery in 2018 to replaced a pulmonary valve that was originally installed in 1997.

Schwarzenegger also posted some photos of himself standing in front of a few monuments in Cleveland.

"I feel fantastic and have already been walking the streets of Cleveland enjoying your amazing statues," he said.
