Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son, Joseph, Re-Creates One Of His Dad’s Most Iconic Bodybuilding Photos
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s life has taken twists and turns and his fans witnessed it all. Arnold had a successful bodybuilding and acting career before he ran for Governor of California in 2003 and held the office for two terms.
While he is the Governor, things in his life changed…
His wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver, decided to separate. Arnold also had an affair with a housekeeper, Mildred Baena, while Maria was pregnant with their youngest child. Mildred got pregnant, and Joseph Baena was born just a week after Maria gave birth to her and Arnold’s son, Christopher.
Arnold has said that he is sorry for the way his decisions have affected Maria and his other four children. But he did become Joseph’s dad. Seeing Joseph’s Instagram photos, you can see how he looks the same as his father.
A lot has happened in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s long and interesting career. He’s done something that only a few people before him have done – he proceeded from bodybuilding to acting to politics and then back again.
Things have finally slowed down for him after open-heart surgery. Still, he’s slowly been getting back into strength training.
There are now more of Arnold’s kids in the news these days. Arnold has five very children and all of them are grown-up.
Katherine Schwarzenegger, his eldest daughter, has been in the limelight. She married Chris Pratt, a Guardian of the Galaxy star. She writes and promotes the ASPCA. She is also the executive producer of the Netflix documentary Take Your Pills. In addition, Christina previously wrote for Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website ‘Goop.’
Then we have Patrick Schwarzenegger, an actor, and a businessman. He’s been linked to celebrities including Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. Arnolds’ youngest son with Maria is Christopher. He is also the most reserved among the Schwarzenegger siblings. Christopher was 13 when he had a terrible surfing accident that fractured his bones and collapsed his lung. He fully recovered and went on to attend the University of Michigan.
Finally, Joseph Baena. Arnold’s son with Mildred Baena Arnold apparently didn’t know he fathered Joseph until the boy was 8 years old. He’s helped care for Joseph and his mother since he found out, while his family didn’t know until 2011.
We don’t know if Joseph has a relationship with Arnold’s other kids, but the father-son bond is strong. They share a passion for fitness and training.
While on Howard Stern’s broadcast in 2015, Arnold revealed some details about his relationship with Joseph. He said, “He’s great and he gets it. So it worked out… He is in a difficult circumstance. My kids are in a bad spot. My family is in a bad spot. Everyone struggled. But it happened, and now we must sort it out.”
Joseph appears to have perfected one of his father’s most famous poses – Arnold’s 3/4 back pose.
There’s even a statue of the actor in Columbus, Ohio featuring this pose.
On Instagram, Joseph posted a photo of himself doing the same pose.
In the caption, he joked: “Just a little thicc.”
Joseph’s commitment to his training undoubtedly makes his father proud. And who knows, he may really follow his dad’s footsteps and maybe win a bodybuilding title or two.
