Arnold Schwarzenegger is in a dispute with the gas company

The Hollywood icon recently filmed a video of himself filling in what he thought was a "giant pothole" in his neighbourhood in Los Angeles.

But the local authority subsequently hit back at the 75-year-old actor, explaining that it was actually a "service trench" being used for "permitted work" by SoCalGas.

Daniel Ketchell, a spokesperson for Schwarzenegger, said: "If the gas company thinks finishing their work and leaving a trench in one lane of a two-lane road for six months that requires cars and bicyclists to drive in wrong way traffic - again, for six months - they should go back to school."
