Arnold Schwarzenegger is good at small talk?
Appearing on the Unwaxed Podcast, Joseph Baena talked about what it is like when he brings his girlfriends home to meet his father. And while it is initially intimidating for the new person at the table, Arnold Schwarzenegger is breaking the ice.
“Introducing the girls to him has been great because he’s outgoing. He’s just so casual with it,” Baena shared. Looks like Schwarzenegger isn’t big on dating dress codes either. “Whenever I’ve brought a girl over for dinner or something, we’ve always dressed—not super nice, but dressed up a little bit. He’s like in his sweats. He’s like, ‘What are you guys dressed up for?’”

As the hosts, Sophia and Sistine Stallone, are daughters of famous actor and Schwarzenegger’s former rival Sylvester Stallone, they empathize with his experience. But Baena is hesitant to share the advice his father gives him, unwilling to throw one of his former lovers under the bus.
But one thing we know for sure is that the former governor of California is good at ice breakers. “They always get nervous like at the beginning, but then you know my dad just makes some jokes,” Baena continued. Perhaps the five decades he spent in the eye of the media finally came in handy.

“Not only a very talented guy and a great actor, and a great son, all this stuff. But a really kind man, and kind to my daughter, which is the most important thing for me.” They bonded well over their love for working out, or as Schwarzenegger puts it, “Pumping Iron”.
