    Miriam Margolyes, known for roles as Mother Milfred in Call the Midwife and Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, has a bone to pick with Arnold Schwarzenegger. According to the British-Australian actress, she was farted on by Schwarzenegger while filming the 1999 film End of Days.

    In an interview on the I've Got News For You podcast, Margolyes revealed she's no fan of Schwarzenegger's, saying, "He's a bit too full of himself and I don't care for him at all. He's a Republican, which I don't like."

    However, her distaste for the former governor of California goes deeper than political differences. The 81-year-old actress went on to say that Schwarzenegger once farted on her between takes on End of Days.

    "He was actually quite rude. He farted in my face," she recalled. "Now, I fart, of course, I do. But I don't fart in people's faces. He did it deliberately, right in my face."

    "I was playing Satan's sister [in End of Days] and he was killing me, so he had me in a position where I couldn't escape and lying on the floor. And he just farted," Margolyes added. "It wasn't on film, it was in one of the pauses, but I haven't forgiven him for it."

    At least they've cleared the air.
