Many fans couldn’t help but notice how identical Baena looked to his father Arnold. A fan commented, “Papa must be Proud AF!!! You’re the only child that really looks like Him!!! You got the real Arnold DNA.” Another fan wrote, “Oh my god it’s arnol’s clone…” “Dude looks like my teenage god “Arnold”. The man with more drive than most. “Education of a Bodybuilder” was a great book,” expressed a fan. “ Another fan praised Baena with, “Look just like your dad, good on ya.”
 
“Looking like your dad in his prime,” pointed out a fan. Several fans even wondered if he would be entering the showbiz, just like his father. A fan wrote, “Cant wait to see u on stage and continuing your dad's legacy.”
