When you have the buffest dad in the world, the genes have to filter through, as is clear from Joseph Baena's Instagram page. Just like a chip off the old block, Baena's rippling muscles and poses give us "Terminator" deja vu, to the time his dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger promised to be back. But luckily never really went away.
So here goes Joseph Baena in all his muscled glory, slaying Instagram with a set of poses that has us all drooling, with the "Terminator" soundtrack playing like a worm in our heads. Sigh...
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Brood Of Five

Arnold Schwarzenegger was married to Maria Shriver, with whom he shared four children. After the 1986 wedding, the oldest, Katherine Eunice Schwarzenegger was born in 1989. We now know her as Mrs. Chris Pratt.
Daughter Christina Maria Aurelia Schwarzenegger came in 1991, followed by Patrick Arnold Shriver Schwarzenegger in 1993, and finally, Christopher Sargent Shriver Schwarzenegger in 1997. Just a few days after Christopher's birth came Joseph Baena, whose mother is Mildred Patricia Baena, a household employee of the Schwarznegger-Shriver household till 2011.
Joseph was born out of wedlock, from one of his father's later-admitted infidelities, and ironically, is the one who looks like his dad the most.
Enough for dad and son to bond at the gym.

Joseph Baena Kills Dad Poses
Baena loves working out, although Arnold's other sons are also into fitness, he's the only one with the muscles to flex for now.
As Baena writes, "May be a little lighter but I still got the poses down."
Fans agree with comments like: "We have Arnold for the next 40 years."
Another wrote, "You are like your Dad, Arnold! I and my daughter Chanise would like to meet you someday. She is in school to become a Real Estate Agent, hopefully, to be going to California…" because Joseph Baena is also a real estate agent.
One more fan wrote: "It takes a lot of hard work, sweat & discipline to look that cut!" Another requested, "Man please, start making movies."
Have to admit, he does look a lot like his ripped dad.

Today, dad and son share a genial relationship and the world knows and accepts Baena as Schwarzenegger 2.0. But at the time when the truth came out, there was a media frenzy. Says Baena in an interview: "I remember the day very vividly. I was in the eighth grade. Fifth or sixth period. And I get called out of class to leave. And my mom’s there, and she’s like, ‘We gotta go—everyone is finding out about you and who your father is.’ ” News trucks swarmed the house. Photographers hounded the family. I’m 13. Your body’s transforming; your mind is transforming. And now my life transformed before my eyes.”
Now, Baena is close with Schwarzenegger. And the eventual bonding happened over fitness when Schwarzenegger gave Baena "The Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding", a book that he co-authored.
Joseph Baena Might Be Just Have Dropped Movie News
Baena doesn't just work out, he's happy to give out his training tips on social media, for anyone looking to make it big.

The bodybuilding is cool but Baena let some big news slip.
When asked by a fan, "You used to be way bigger are you staying leaner for a movie role.", Baena replied, "unfortunately."
Fans wished him all the best, writing, "coolest guy around!! Nothing but great things ahead of you."
Another Instagram user also wrote, "Man I hope he gets into Hollywood, he is an A-lister type for sure."
And then there was this request: "Dude, grow your hair out like your dad in the 70s."
Clearly, Baena is destined for fame and Instagram is here for it.
