Arnold Schwarzenegger's latest film production is likely to get a huge thumbs up.

The movie star and former California governor Thursday offered a health update on his recovery from recent heart surgery in a short video that accompanied a tweet that said: "Thank you all for caring. We are moving forward!"

In the 53-second video, Schwarzenegger thanked people for wishing him well in his recovery and detailed his health status after the March 29 operation at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. Schwarzenegger was released from the hospital last week.

In the video, Schwarzenegger, seated at a chess board, says: "I just want you to know that I'm feeling much better. I can't say, even with my positive attitude, that I'm great, because I'm not great yet. Great is a totally different level. But I'm good. I feel good. I get good care, good doctors, good nurses. Everything is fantastic," he said.

Schwarzenegger then explained the chess set-up. "I'm here at a chessboard playing a little bit of chess here to freshen my mind and my memory a little bit," he said. "And we move forward. So I will stay in touch with all of you you. And thank you all for being such jewels."
