'Baby Arnold ready for Hollywood': Joseph Baena's remarkable resemblance to Schwarzenegger stuns fans

"'Baby Arnold Ready for Hollywood' were the words echoed by fans as they bore witness to the exceptional resemblance between former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger and his youngest son Joseph Baena. Looking back on their bonding sessions at Gold's Gym, it's clear that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to 'The Terminator's' genetics. As reported by PEOPLE in 2019, the shared passion between father and son for bodybuilding has given rise to moments of awe and admiration.

A Shared Passion: Bodybuilding Legacy Continues

"'Always 100%' Especially when the boss is around," were Joseph's words on his Instagram story as the then 21-year-old college student received tips from his 71-year-old father, who Joseph fondly refers to as "the boss". Arnold Schwarzenegger, ever the pro, was seen guiding his son through his workout regime, fostering the same dedication he showed during his own years of bodybuilding.

"Getting a great pump with some of the strongest men in the world!" Joseph shared as he posted pictures of himself and Schwarzenegger preparing for the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival, an event named after the former California governor and created in 1989.

Echoing the Legend: 'The Terminator Genetics'

The striking resemblance between Joseph and his father was never more apparent than in his flexing photos. Capturing a classic pose his father made in 1976, he wrote, "Just a lil thick," creating a moment that reflected Schwarzenegger's photo after he won Mr. Olympia for the sixth time.

Fans, surprised by the uncanny resemblance, exclaimed, "The Terminator Genetics!" further affirming the bond shared between father and son not just in the form of DNA but also their shared love for bodybuilding. Baena, continuing his fitness journey, gave fans a glimpse of his physique, hinting that his progress was just the beginning of his bodybuilding routine.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, who also has four other children from his marriage to Maria Shriver, showed that age was merely a number as he celebrated his 71st birthday in front of Gold’s Gym, flexing his biceps alongside his son. Joseph marked the occasion with a heartwarming message, “Happy Birthday to the man that’s always pumped! Love you dad,” showing the world that this father-son duo shares a bond that extends beyond the gym and well into their hearts.
