Joseph Baena, son of iconic bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mildred Patricia Baena, does not use his father’s last name but shares a deep bond with the Austrian Oak. Moreover, he carries the same charm and gorgeousness that his father had in his earlier days. Alongside, he also shows humility and perseverance. The real estate agent wants to follow in his dad’s footsteps and become an actor. For that, he is grinding away at the gym, but in an 80s style.

Baena is getting shredded by the day as he takes his acting career seriously. Furthermore, the lookalike son of 7x Mr. Olympia is amassing a dedicated fan base on social media. Additionally, he often entertains with posts that capture his ingenuity and artistic inclinations. A new update that pays homage to the 1980s workout vibe has become the talk of the town. Followers think it is time for Baena to reprise some of Arnie’s roles.

A few hours ago, Baena amazed followers with a collaboration video that showed him posing alongside bodybuilders Shizzy Twizzy and Jizzy (as their Instagram names go). The Instagram video is a nod to the 1980s bodybuilding fusion video, where the main character navigates an intense physical transformation. Furthermore, the ‘Bully High’ actor had a gala time with his gym bros, jamming to ‘Scarface’ music, a movie released in 1983. Baena captioned the post, stating, “Here’s the 80s style training montage you needed but not the one you deserved.”

The 1980s were a time when symmetry, proportionality, and aesthetics mattered. Fitness enthusiasts would spend hours in the gym doing basic training like dumbbells, squats, bench presses, and push-downs. The trio of friends also performed similar exercises at the famous Gold’s Gym. Moreover, the fitness icon’s bodybuilding poses in front of the dilapidated blue wall add an old-world charm to the video. His double biceps are ready to set the stage on fire. Many subscribers appreciated Joseph’s drive for perfection. Furthermore, followers showered Baena with words of encouragement. They do not mind the young kid on the block adding his own twist to the Austrian Oak’s iconic characters.

Moreover, the ‘Chariot’ actor’s jacked muscularity sent ripples across the fitness community. Although the actor has no plans to become Mr. Olympia like his father, he can give tough competition to the Classic Physique bodybuilders. Earlier, Samir Bannout, a training partner of the Austrian Oak, was captivated by the 25-year-old’s physique update on social media.

Bodybuilding or not, fans are definitely interested in watching Baena on movie screens. One follower stated, “It would be so amazing if a writer wrote a great script for Joe! Conan the Barbarian Jr., or Legacy.” A subscriber gave his stamp of approval by stating, “Time for a Terminator reboot.” It is heartwarming to witness the rising star get the accolades. Baena had spent his early childhood in relative anonymity, but now he is getting the credit he deserves for his talents. Are you excited about Terminator 2.0? Let us know in the comments.
