Arnold Schwarzenegger caused quite a stir during his Monday night appearance on Peyton and Eli Manning’s Manningcast, where the Terminator star appeared alongside his pet donkey, Lulu. Schwarzenegger was promoting his self-help memoir Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, which is out now.
Lulu appeared just before the first commercial break, sitting with Schwarzenegger in his office as he fed her what appeared to be an oatmeal cookie. The sight seemed to take both Manning brothers by surprise, but none more than Eli.
“What is Arnold—What is that?” the host stammered before quickly rebounding to burn his brother. “That donkey looks like you eating, Peyton. Arnold, I assume your donkey’s name is Peyton?”
“That’s exactly right, yes. How did you know? It’s Peyton No. 2,” Schwarzenegger cracked.
Lulu returned after the break, still gobbling a treat from her dad’s hand. As the brothers tried to figure out what exactly the donkey was eating, Eli turned back to ribbing Peyton. “He’s eating what you eat every half-time,” the former Giants QB said, joking that it looked as unidentifiable as his brother’s dishes.
As it turns out, Lulu is just one of Schwarzenegger’s pets. According to First for Women, Lulu resides alongside Whiskey, a mini pony; a pig named Schnelly; and four dogs. The donkey made her first appearance alongside Schwarzenegger in a workout video he posted in 2020. In the montage, Lulu can be seen faithfully spotting her keeper as he works out.
Thanks to her memorable appearance on Manningcast, it may not be long before Lulu has a podcast (or a fitness show) of her own.
