Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Joseph Baena shows off his muscles just like his father did as a bodybuilder in the 70s

Joseph Baena appears to be committed to continuing the legacy of his father Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The 26-year-old shared a video on his Instagram account on Monday, in which he demonstrated his dedication to bodybuilding as he showed off his impressively chiseled upper body.

The real estate agent and fitness model struck several poses that his dad – who was recently spotted kissing a mystery woman – was known for doing when he began his career as a bodybuilder in the 1970s.

Baena also shared a short message in his post’s caption to let his followers know that he was ‘competing with myself to be better everyday!’ 

The actor started off his video while wearing a black sleeveless shirt, although he quickly removed his top to showcase his sculpted form.

The social media personality also wore a pair of slim-fitting gray sweat pants, as well as pairs of white socks and checkered Vans slip-on sneakers.

Schwarzenegger, 76, shares Joseph with his family’s former housekeeper, Mildred Baena, with whom he had an affair in the mid-1990s.

The star of the Terminator franchise was formerly married to Maria Shriver, with whom he tied the knot in 1986.

The couple shares daughters Katherine, 33, and Christina, 31, as well as sons Patrick, 30, and Christopher, 26.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver, 68, separated in 2011 after she found out about his affair, and their union was formally dissolved in 2018.

The Predator star has since grown close to Baena, and he has shared several snaps of his youngest child on his Instagram account over the past few years.

The real estate agent opened up about his father during an interview on the Unwaxed podcast, where he stated that their relationship started off on unsteady ground.

He recalled: ‘It took a little while for me and him to get really close and just joke around with him and talk about anything.’

Baena went on to state that he had been anxious about establishing a connection with his father after years of limited interaction. 

He stated: ‘I grew up with my mom and I was just always nervous. And I didn’t want him to think badly of me to be like, “Oh, what the heck is this guy doing? Like partying all the time.”‘

However, the bodybuilder revealed that he had since established a healthy relationship with his father, with whom he is often in contact.

‘I’m so close to my dad and we joke about everything. He always wants to hear about the drama. He’s like, “Tell me everything! Tell me the drama. Tell me about these girls,”‘ he said.
