According to a report by TMZ, Promobot created Android Robo-C, a robot that can be made to look like anybody in the world and used the actor’s voice and physique without his knowledge.

The lawsuit drama came days after Metro reported that the businessman and filmmaker had resorted to postponing his Arnold Classics Sports and Fitness Festival amid coronavirus fears.

Arnold had announced the shift through an Instagram video where he explained that he couldn’t risk the coming together of 250,000 people with the disease spreading so fast around the world.
