Miriam Margolyes found her End of Days costar Arnold Schwarzenegger full of hot air.

The beloved British-Australian actress, 81, said the former governor of California, 74, "was actually quite rude" while filming the 1999 biblical horror flick, claiming he "deliberately" "farted "in her face on news.com.au's I've Got News for You podcast.

She made the gassy allegation when asked who was her least favorite costar and she explained that she "didn't care for him" as "he's a bit too full of himself" before launching into the unfortunate anecdote.

"He farted in my face. Now, I fart, of course I do – but I don't fart in people's faces. He did it deliberately, right in my face," Margolyes said.

A representative for Schwarzenegger did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Schwarzenegger starred in End of Days as an ex-cop who works for an elite security agency and is tasked with stopping Satan (Gabriel Byrne) before he conceives the Antichrist with a young woman (Robin Tunney) in the final hour of the millennium.

"I was playing Satan's sister 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 explained. "It wasn't on film, it was in one of the pauses, but I haven't forgiven him for it."

Margolyes made the revelation as she prepared for the premiere of her new travel series Miriam Margolyes: Australia Unmasked airing on local Australian TV.
