Arnold Schwarzenegger may be known to most of us as an action movie star (or maybe the governor of California), but he gained fame by being a bodybuilder. And it looks like one of his kids is following in his footsteps. Joseph Baena, who was born after an affair between Arnold and his family's former housekeeper Mildred Baena, is following in his dad's fitness footsteps, which he showed off in recent Instagram posts. His followers couldn't help but acknowledge the similarities between the two!

Joseph frequently posts about fitness and bodybuilding
Recently, Joseph shared on Instagram that he completed his first triathlon.
"Competed in my first triathlon today! ♂️ ♂️ ♂️ What a great experience it was to compete with such amazing athletes," he wrote. "I feel like I did really well and I’m proud of myself for going the distance. I truly believe that if you have muscles, you should be able to use them!"
He also recently celebrated a birthday
To commemorate his 26th birthday, Joseph shared a clip from his triathlon. In the clip, he's running out of the water in a black Speedo and a big smile on his face.
"Twenty Six? More like Twenty SICK! Here’s your POV of me running into my late twenties ," he captioned the post.
Joseph's followers couldn't help but comment on the resemblance to his famous dad
"Bro starting to look like Arnold in his golden years… ," one person said.
"it's heartwarming to see arnold's genetics come to fruition through his son, thanks Joe," another shared.
"So cool to watch your transformation. You have a similar physique to your Dad."
"Looking more and more like Daddy."
He has a good relationship with his dad
Joseph didn't find out that Arnold was his father until 2011, when he was 13. Despite this, they have gotten quite close as Joseph has gotten older. He has shared pictures of him and his dad on social media many times in the past.
"It was wrong what I did. But I don’t want to make Joseph feel that he is not welcomed in this world — because he is very much welcomed in this world," Arnold said in his Netflix documentary Arnold. "I love him and he has turned out to be an extraordinary young man."
