Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Joseph Baena flexes his ripped abs; fans call him his 'dad's twin'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, Joseph Baena, will be seen in the upcoming action film 'Gunner,' alongside Luke Hemsworth and Morgan Freeman. ‘Jiu Jitsu’ director Dimitri Logothetis, who also co-wrote the script with Gary Scott Thompson, directs the film. The film is currently in production in Alabama.
Joseph Baena is Arnold Schwarzenegger's youngest child, and although some of his children have pursued him into the world of cameras and spotlights, the youngest appears to be focused on bodybuilding. Baena, who has recently started to make a name for himself, likes maintaining a jacked physique just like his father. He frequently uses his account on social media to flaunt his body and every time he does, fans are taken aback by his striking similarity to his father.

‘Prepared for anything'
Joseph Baena, 25, who takes after his father Arnold Schwarzenegger, proudly displayed his rock-hard abs in recently shared black-and-white pictures of himself as he gets ready for the role. The bodybuilder-turned-actor wore jeans and a white bandana across his brow, emphasizing that the audience's focus should be drawn to his ripped abs. "More pumping Iron, you're going to be like your Dad in the late 70's," one fan wrote, while another added, "Genetics are a beautiful thing." A third said he has "abs of steel," and a fourth said he's "definitely your dad's twin."
The fit hunk appears to be very aware of his fitness and frequently shares videos and pictures of his amazing results. He regularly works out at the gym, which has led to some amazing opportunities, including a spot on 'Dancing With the Stars'.
Deputy Wally reporting for duty
Like his father, the bodybuilder who worked as a real estate agent is steadily and slowly trying to establish himself in the industry. ‘Gunner’ is the latest film credited to Baena's name in which he is going to portray Wally, a young, wet-behind-the-ears character, and had shared a picture of him dressed in a Deputy Sheriff's uniform from the film.
The story follows Special Forces veteran Lee Gunner as he takes his two sons on a camping trip where they come across a fentanyl lab and are kidnapped by drug runners. Lee will go to any length to rescue his family, including going up against not only the criminal cartel but also the FBI and local police, using the full force of his lethal abilities.
Baena has also appeared in 'Chariot' 2022 and 'Bully High'. The latter shows Pakistani exchange student Maryam (Aneesha Madhok) who is being bullied and discriminated against at her new high school for proudly wearing a hijab, while she and star baseball player Zack (Cedric Begley) fall in love.
During an interview with People magazine, Joseph Baena asserted that 90% of the time he prefers to figure things out on his own, adding that he prefers to work hard, put in the reps, and work on his craft on his own. There are no shortcuts here and there are no shortcuts in acting, or in anything else. Baena asserted that he wants his hard work and ambition to propel him to success, although he clarified that he does go to his father for advice but on a very limited basis.
