Arnold Schwarzenegger, for example, regularly relies on a Sacramento-based nonprofit, the California State Protocol Foundation, to pay for his overseas travel, including private jets.

It’s a celebration bitches / L’Chaim!” He complements this phrase in the video by smashing a glass with his foot. (Does this mark the birth of a Jewish Jay?) Also entertaining is the fact that Jay-Z has a youthful doppelganger present in various scenes. The actor has the same walk, the same talk, and a younger version of the same face.
