Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who co-starred in True Lies, have reunited almost 30 years after their 1994 action comedy hit theaters.

They attended the charity event of After-School All-Stars, Schwarzenegger's nonprofit for children.

"'Ya, my name is Ingeborg, I'm from Stuttgart.' I LOVE the way my friends suit up and show up for the causes that move their souls and hearts," Curtis said in an Instagram post. "@schwarzenegger LOVES @afterschoolallstars and I LOVE ARNOLD! THE GOAT! (Greatest of All Time)."

Curtis, 64, and Schwarzenegger, 76, last reunited in 2022 when she was honored with a hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

True Lies is based on the 1991 French comedy film La Totale.

In the movie, Schwarzenegger portrays a salesman who's often away on business trips but is actually a secret agent. Curtis, meanwhile, is his wife, whom he overhears talking to another man and suspects she's having an affair.

Directed by James Cameron, the movie grossed $378 million (P21 billion) worldwide at the box office.

Curtis won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress (Motion Picture Musical or Comedy) and the Saturn Award for Best Actress, while Cameron won the Saturn Award for Best Director.

True Lies also got a nod at the Academy Awards and BAFTAs for Best Visual Effects, as well as seven Saturn Awards, including Best Action/Adventure/Thriller film and Best Actor for Schwarzenegger.
