Some art forms are so impactful that they linger long after their manifestation. It holds especially true for music, which leaves the listener with an emotional resonance to its beats and lyrics. Additionally, music might become a source of motivation, pushing the individual to achieve his best. Joseph Baena, a connoisseur of artistic persuasions, is no different. Recently, the son of the bodybuilding superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger teased fans with an impressive dumbbell press while giving a peek into his musical mental loop.

The Austrian Oak’s fifth child, with house staff Mildred Baena, inherited his father’s muscular physique and good looks. Moreover, he also shows a similar passion for bodybuilding, although he does not want to compete professionally. Taking a leaf from his dad’s undeterred commitment to fitness, Baena is working hard to build a Hollywood-worthy physique. His latest social media post is a testament to his hard work and seriousness about taking up acting professionally. 

Joseph Baena is grooving to trending rock music

Earlier, the 25-year-old real estate agent posted an Instagram story showcasing a vivid image of himself doing dumbbell presses with the 100-pound weight. The slow pace of his intense exercise matches the acoustic rhythm of the song playing in the background. Baena wrote in his post, “This song has been stuck in my head all week.” The grunge sounds are none other than those of the trending “Youngest Daughter” by Superheaven. Moreover, the fitness enthusiast shows remarkable determination and ease at pulling up the weights.

The song, ” Youngest Daughter,” released in 2013, gained traction in the last few months, making it one of the most streamed on Spotify. The virality of the rock band can be attributed to TikTok’s ability to catapult decades-old music into fame. Moreover, the song’s deep lyrics also add to its charm. The sounds and Baena’s dumbbell set make an artistic unison of creativity featuring both vulnerability and strength, feelings that Baena is not unaware of.

Although the relationship between the 25-year-old and the 7-time Mr. Olympia has become common knowledge now, the notoriety of the news when it first broke out in 2013 had an astounding impact on Baena. When the dust of tabloid gossip had settled, Baena had to deal with comparisons with his father.

Baena is working hard to come out of the shadows

Last year, the “Chariot” actor opened up in a podcast about the constant pressure of being the Terminator’s son and making it big like his father. “That’s always been something I struggled with comparisons and figuring out my own path and not trying to be in someone’s shadow,” mused Joseph. Moreover, apart from professional challenges, Baena had to show extreme maturity in his personal life to deal with his unconventional identity.

Insisting on his worth and unique path to self-actualization, the son added, “I needed to accept who I am, what that is in relation to me, what my relationship with is with my family, and the main thing is I’m not following anyone. I’m following myself.” The past ten years have been a whirlwind journey for Joseph, and it seems the actor is slowly carving out his own identity that is truly his, devoid of gossip and facade.
