Arnold Schwarzenegger has achieved excellence in various fields. He is a legendary bodybuilder, magnificent actor, clever entrepreneur, and a recognized politician. For a father figure like him, his children must find it difficult to match the world’s expectations to excel like their father. That’s a lot of pressure to pursue any field.

They mention that Baena was “Athletically inclined but chubby, he was cut from the basketball and soccer teams, and he considered giving up on sports.”
