Robert Patrick, popularly known as the T-1000 said a happy Father’s Day by posting a hiking-video put to restoring back into shape. The six-five-year provided the caption, “This dad is hiking and working to get back in shape! Wishing all the dad’s out there a happy Father’s Day.” He also included a hashtag #fathersday2025.

In this short clip, Patrick was observed on a beautiful hiking trail, completely focused and a bit determined to some, wearing a Stone Mountain T-shirt. The background scenic view is another giving one to conjecture if he was hiking somewhere about Stone Mountain or Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia as he was not so specific. His simple wish to fathers garnered instant responses that soon turned into an endless Terminator nostalgia.

One went on and set the right tone: “Isn’t this the T-1000? Good for him either way.” More followed up with the “Happy Father’s Day T-1000,” others jokingly “Liquid Metal Hairline.” The Terminator references kept flashing as one fan said, “Are you hiking out ‘T2 style nasal breathing?’” referring to that character’s distinctive nasal breathing in the film.
A few more sci-fi references came in while others noticed the Stone Mountain shirt Patrick was wearing and started coining about the location. One Georgia resident said, “Love the Stone Mountain shirt, Robert! – a fan from Marietta.” Another one asked, “Are you at Stone Mountain or it could be Kennesaw Mountain?”
Another person said that this was “the perfect post to kick off some fitness inspiration for the day. I am doing chair strength training. We are working towards badass.” Another tried to cheer, “Keep up the great work!” Two others jokingly pleaded, “Dammit Robert, drink some water!!” Can the T-1000 survive a cannon hit? Happy Father’s Day.”
Beyond the T2 references, there was another cluster that wanted to send Father’s Day greetings such as “Happy Father’s Day, sir!” and “Best wishes on Father’s Day.” One fan was watching T2 while sending the greetings, “Happy Father’s day! Watching T2 right now.”

A fitness journey Patrick takes seriously after appearing in many made TV productions like The Unit, Scorpion, and latest Tulsa King. The actor never responded to any of the comments, yet the enthusiastic response showed that more than 30 years later, his Terminator role would remain etched into pop culture. From hiking up mountains to shape-shifting through laser barriers, Robert Patrick continues inspiring fans as an actor and as a fitness-minded dad.
