Awkward moment Robert De Niro ‘refuses to take photo’ with Arnold Schwarzenegger following row over Donald Trump
The actor refused to pose in front of cameras with the former Republican governor at the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces gala dinner in California
HOLLYWOOD legend Robert De Niro has reportedly refused to pose for a photo with Arnold Schwarzenegger at a gala held .
The actor apparently didn't want to be photographed with Arnie, a fellow actor and former Republican governor of California, because he hasn't made it clear who he is voting for in the US presidential elections.
The alleged snub took place at the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces gala dinner at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in California on Thursday.
According to , De Niro kept asking Schwarzenegger, if he was voting for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, before backing off to the other side of the room.
After shunning the photo op, De Niro allegedly said: "If you're supporting Trump, I want nothing to do with you."
Last month, Schwarzenegger announced he would not be voting for Trump.
He tweeted: "For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican candidate for President."
"Like many Americans, I've been conflicted by this election - I still haven't made up my mind about how exactly I will vote next month."

"So I want to take a moment today to remind my fellow Republicans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party - it is your duty."
Since then, the Terminator star hasn't specified who he'll be voting for ahead of Election Day on November 8.
Although the pair weren't pictured together smiling for cameras, they were snapped in mid-conversation before shaking hands at the event.

"There are going to be no surprises, and she has earned the right to be president and the head of the country at this point.
"It's that simple. And she's a woman, which is very important because her take on things may be what we need right now."
