'Terminator' star Schwarzenegger made a Leeds charity event an unforgettable one by helping a fan propose to his girlfriend.
It can be a difficult thing for people, wondering how best to pop the question to their other half, but for one 29-year-old there was only one way, and that was alongside his ultimate idol Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Arnold Schwarzenegger visited his Leeds fans at UK charity event
The brawny 'Terminator' star appeared at a charity event at the Elland Road football stadium in Leeds for a one-off public appearance talking to Jonathan Ross about his life and career. While adoring fans filled the venue, Arnold Schwarzenegger was not too shy to show his loveable side and invited couple Dean Goulding and Jessica Eddy to come up on stage after his set for one of the most precious moments of their lives. The couple - who both happen to be enormous fans of the body-building actor - looked starstruck and overwhelmed as they became engaged.

'I still can't believe it, I'm so shocked. It feels like I'm in a dream', Jessica admitted to the Yorkshire Evening Post. 'Arnie comes across the funniest person and seems so grounded and really kind-hearted - and what he did for us really shows that.' Dean was equally unequivocally thrilled at the once-in-a-lifetime experience. 'It was amazing. He's my idol!' He gushed.

The occasion will no doubt be an unforgettable one for Schwarzenegger himself, who already had fond connections to the Yorkshire city of Leeds due to the fact that one of his own heroes was born there. 'For me it's kind of emotional coming here because my idol Reg Park was born in Leeds', he confessed at the event. 'He was one of the best bodybuilders of all time and is one of the people who was most inspirational for me.'

So, a happy ending for everyone. Though it would be even happier if Schwarzenegger was able to officiate their upcoming nuptials! A task that would not be unfamiliar to him following his stint as Governor of California where he was asked to support several weddings. Wishful thinking!
