Joseph Baena mirrors his famous dad Arnold Schwarzenegger and rips through a weightlifting set and flexes his muscles for the camera

There’s no doubt he’s his father’s son.

Joseph Baena not only looks strikingly similar to his famous dad Arnold Schwarzenegger, he has also embraced a lifestlye of exercise and bodybuilding with weights just like the Terminator star and former California Governor.

And on Saturday the 22-year-old took to Instagram and shared a video of himself pumping iron at an outdoor gym on yet another sunny Southern California day.

‘Nothing like the good ol tan-pump combo!’ Baena wrote in the caption, a reference that he was able to work on his tan and hit the weights at the same time.

Not only did he go shirtless to work on his golden tan, but he also seemingly did it to show off ripped physique. 

The California native also wore black shorts and sneakers while ripping through a rep of weight pull-ups to  work put his shoulders.

By the end of the set Baena flashed a big beaming smile and then turned around to do a traditional muscle flex, much like his father did during his years as a champion bodybuilder, beginning in the 1960s.

Baena’s mother, Mildred Baena, was the Schwarzenegger family’s housekeeper when she had an affair with the action film star. 

At the time he was married to Maria Shriver, the journalist who mothered of all his other children – Katherine, 30, Christina, 28, Patrick, 26, and Christopher, 22.

It turns out Baena was born just weeks after Christopher in 1997. 

Schwarzenegger and Shriver separated in 2011 after the Los Angeles Times revealed he had an affair and fathered his youngest son more than 14 years earlier.

The former couple, who were wed in 1986, eventually made their divorce final in 2017.
