It has been nearly 4 decades now since the first Terminator movie was released, and the film still resonates with a large chunk of moviegoers. The movie made millions at the worldwide Box Office and turned Arnold Schwarzenegger from a bodybuilding legend to a Hollywood star. Years later, as his son Joseph Baena has grown into a bodybuilder and actor himself, fans have remarked at the facial similarity between them and asked him to reprise the role of T-800. Baena is more than interested.

Joseph Baena is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s youngest child. The 25-year-old worked out with his father and shares a strong bond with him. It would be interesting for him to take up a role, so intrinsically associated with the iconic actor.

He wrote, “You’re killing it, brother .. when are we getting Terminator reboot from you…” The fan also pointed out how he looks exactly like his dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
