Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lookalike son Joseph Baena has also inherited his dad’s love of bodybuilding - if these new photos of him posing up a storm are anything to go by.

Baena showed off his impressive physique on Instagram - in the shots he can be seen posing near some stairs while wearing a pair of black shorts, white socks and Vans shoes.

The new snaps come just days after he revealed he was ‘starting to catch up’ to the weights his dad lifts but admitted that Arnie would always be stronger.

Speaking in a recent interview with extratv at the Los Angeles premiere of Fubar, he said: "I'm starting to starting to lift a little. I'm starting to catch up with the weights but, you know, he pushes me so much in the gym and we love training together."

When asked who was 'stronger' out of the pair, Baena replied: "Right now, I don't want to say but he'll always be the strongest in the family."

Baena recently announced that as well as following his dad into the gym, he was also hoping to make a name for himself in the world of acting, too.

Baena shared the 'best piece of advice' his dad gave him when he first told him he hoped to become a successful actor.

He said: "I mean, just with anything that I do, but especially with acting, he's really supportive and always, you know, pushing me to work really hard, and then make it my own and, and do it on my own."

The 25-year-old continued: "But his main piece of advice has always been, do the reps - and it sounds just like the gym.

"But it really makes sense because it's all about practice, practice, practice.

"The more that you practice, the more that you prepare for these roles, the better you're going to be and, and I've taken that to heart and I've taken that into every role that I've been doing."

Baene is the son of Schwarzenegger and Mildred Patricia ‘Patty’ Baena, who had an affair while both married to other people.

Growing up, Baena believed his mum’s husband - Rogerio Baena - was his dad; but when he was 13 he learnt that Schwarzenegger was his biological father.

Although using his dad’s surname would probably have given him a leg-up in Hollywood, Baena told the Unwaxed podcast that it was ‘the last thing’ on his mind.

He said: “I have a last name already, I’m already doing so much and already succeeding and moving forward with my goals – that’s like the last thing on my mind right now.

“I don’t want to put another thing on my plate [with] doing that.”
