Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially been named to join the California Hall of Fame.
The action star and former governor was honoured by current governor, Gavin Newsom, via a press announcement released on Tuesday - six months after he was seemingly snubbed when an early list of honourees was made public and did not include his name.

Arnold, 78, was described in the statement as a "singular figure in California history, embodying the Golden State's promise of opportunity".
"From humble beginnings, he built himself into a world champion bodybuilder, Hollywood icon, successful businessman, environmentalist, philanthropist, bestselling author, and the 38th Governor of California," 58-year-old Gavin's statement went on.

The Terminator star was named alongside his former co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, 67. The pair acted opposite one another in the 1994 action comedy, True Lies.
Describing Jamie Lee as "one of Hollywood's most enduring stars, with a five-decade career and an Academy Award-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once", the press release went on to describe her varied achievements.

"A passionate humanitarian, Emmy and Golden Globe winner, and best-selling children's book author, she continues to inspire audiences worldwide," it added.
All of the inductees will be "formally enshrined" during a ceremony at the California Museum in Sacramento on 19 March to celebrate "their contributions to civic life, creativity, and social progress".

Other celebrities named for the honours included 76-year-old chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa - co-founder of the Nobu restaurant empire - and Terry McMillan, 74, the author of novels including Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
