Although Joseph Baena’s father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is a household celebrity, he has never capitalised on the fact that his surname is instantly recognisable. In an E! Online interview with Morgan Stewart and Loni Love, he reveals why.
“There’s a few different variables in that,” said Baena. “But that’s just not my main priority at the moment, so I’m just focused on building myself up and building my career in acting and real estate and just focusing on that right now.”
Former California Gov. Arnold @Schwarzenegger tells @smerconish he invested in reopening polling stations and is advocating for a new voting rights act.

Nonetheless, on his Instagram profile, Baena routinely posts pictures flexing and re-creating some of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most famous stances from his peak as an Olympian bodybuilder, during which he won the Mr. Olympia title seven times in a row.
Baena calls his father the “best training partner in the world,” who pushes him and never lets him “cheat” on an exercise. Schwarzenegger and Baena have a passion for weightlifting and fitness.
“I mean, my dad is a stallion,” Baena added in the interview. “He’s a man’s man, I like to think, and I look up to him a lot… So in a way, he’s influenced a lot of things: the path that I have taken with acting, with fitness and my physique and the many other things that I’m doing.”
