Did Arnold Schwarzenegger offer to "cover all funeral expenses for Rob Reiner and his wife"? No, that's not true: The original TikTok video was labeled AI-generated by the content creator. There has not been any reporting that Schwarzenegger made such an offer. He did post a brief tribute to his friend on X.
The fake clip with a cloned voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger appears in a video (archived here) published on TikTok by @otmofzfnt3 on Dec. 16, 2025. It was captioned:

On Dec. 15, 2025 Schwarzenegger made a post on X (embedded below) remembering his friend:
In Hollywood, Rob Reiner was a rare talent: he could act, he could produce, he could direct, and he was amazing at all three. He was a creative genius who left us some of the greatest movies of all time, and he was a wonderful friend. My thoughts are with his family.

Despite the video having been AI-generated, the claim could be true -- but there is no factual reporting regarding an offer from Schwarzenegger to cover funeral expenses. A Google search (pictured below and archived here) for the keywords "Arnold Schwarzenegger" AND "Rob Reiner" AND "funeral expenses" only returned duplicate copies of this AI generated video.
