Joseph, the son of the one-and-only Arnold Schwarzenegger, captioned the photo with a playful nod to his dad’s famous physique: “Just a lil thicc.” Fans quickly noticed the resemblance to Arnold's legendary bodybuilding photos from the '70s. Those photos were taken after Arnold won the Mr. Olympia title for the sixth time in 1975, a competition he dominated a total of seven times. The resemblance is uncanny, don’t you think?

It didn’t take long for the comments to roll in, with fans pointing out just how much Joseph looks like his dad. One commenter joked, “I see a new terminator. Time to reboot the movie!” Another chimed in with, “Little Arnold! Literally … this is his son.” And of course, someone had to reference Arnold’s iconic movie line: “Get to the chopper!!” It’s moments like these that remind us why Arnold is such a beloved figure in pop culture.

Joseph Baena’s Unique Story

Joseph Baena’s story is one of resilience and acceptance. Born in 1997 to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mildred Baena, his father’s former housekeeper, Joseph’s arrival was the result of an affair that eventually led to the end of Arnold’s marriage to Maria Shriver. Arnold and Maria have four children together: Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher. Despite the challenges, Arnold has always been open about his relationship with Joseph, emphasizing the importance of understanding and acceptance.

In a candid interview with Howard Stern, Arnold spoke about the impact of his separation on Joseph and his other children. “Joseph is terrific, and he totally understands the situation,” Arnold said. “It’s a very tough situation for him, for my kids, for my family. It was tough for everyone. But it’s happened, and now we have to figure it out, right?” Arnold’s approach to handling such a difficult situation shows his commitment to being a supportive and loving father, no matter the circumstances.
