Aold Schwarzenegger has landed a $3 million deal to star in a Super Bowl commercial for Bud Light.

According to the New York Post, the former Califoia goveor has agreed to a deal to star in the humorous beer ad, despite his personal focus on health and fitness.

The Terminator star joins a long list of celebrities eaing big money for Super Bowl spots, including Laurence Fishbue, Danica Patrick, Scarlett Johansson, David Beckham and Ben Kingsley.

A source told us, "Aold has shot a series of ads in Japan [a trick used by celebs who want to cash in but without looking greedy at home] but pretty much hasn't done anything in the US. Persuading him to promote a beer is a big coup for Bud Light."

He talks about global warming on the Showtime series Years of Living Dangerously, and is expected to retu in Terminator: Genesis in 2015.
