They have the same emotions, and their feelings towards their families are the same as any of us. And when we think of larger-than-life celebrities, Arnold Schwarzenegger tops the chart.

Moreover, the children enjoy going to gym sessions and bicycle rides along with the Austrian Oak. Recently, his son, Joseph Baena, appeared on a podcast as a guest.
