Jamie Lee Curtis has reunited with Arnold Schwarzenegger nearly 30 years after they starred in True Lies together.

The reunion took place during a charity event organized by the nonprofit organization After-School All-Stars, which is dedicated to aiding low-income children.

Curtis, 64, and Schwarzenegger, 76, both took time out of their busy schedules to support the charity.

Curtis shared some snapshots of their reunion on her Instagram page, showcasing the bond between them.

In one of the photos, Curtis donned a traditional German dirndl dress and a flower crown, while Schwarzenegger opted for a more casual look with a black T-shirt and high socks.

The photos also featured the renowned chef Hans Rockenwagner, who joined in on the theme.

In her Instagram post, Curtis expressed her admiration for her friend's dedication to charitable causes, stating: "'Ya, my name is Ingeborg, I'm from Stuttgart.' I LOVE the way my friends suit up and show up for the causes that move their souls and hearts. @schwarzenegger LOVES @afterschoolallstars, and I LOVE ARNOLD! THE GOAT!"

As per People, this charity event comes nearly a year after the pair's previous public reunion in October 2022 when Curtis was honored at her hand-and-footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

During the ceremony, Schwarzenegger referred to Curtis as the "most extraordinary actress" who possessed the ability to "kick some serious ass," praising her remarkable performance in True Lies.

Schwarzenegger's heartfelt speech continued with his frustration about how Curtis had been categorized as a supporting actress in the film. He declared: "Because she wasn't supporting - she was the female lead. She was the star. She was starring with me."

Curtis later caught up with Entertainment Tonight, expressing her gratitude for her friend's support and hinting at a potential collaboration in the future.

She shared her enthusiasm, saying: "It made me want to do another one with him. I walked up to him and I was like, 'Dude, why aren't we doing another movie?' I'm gonna call Jim today," referring to filmmaker James Cameron.
