Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Joseph Baena, whom he shares with Mildred Patricia "Patty" Baena, celebrated his 26th birthday in a major way by competing in his first triathlon.
The young man, who works as an actor, real estate agent, and bodybuilder, among other things, takes after his father in many ways, including his love of fitness.
Baena posted a clip on Instagram on Oct. 2, his birthday, of himself running out of the ocean in a small swimsuit with a smile on his face, with the caption reading, "Twenty Six? More like Twenty SICK! 😤🤙🤘Here’s your POV of me running into my late twenties 😂."
In another post, Baena shared a photo from the finish line in which he's holding his medal and smiling proudly, while he also included some more clips from the event in Malibu, California.
"Competed in my first triathlon today!🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️What a great experience it was to compete with such amazing athletes," he wrote. "With my birthday coming up I wanted to challenge myself in a new way, 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! 😂."
Fans were amazed at how similar he looks to Schwarzenegger, with one commenting on the first post, "Bro starting to look like Arnold in his golden years... 👏👏."
"So cool to watch your transformation. You have a similar physique to your Dad," said another.
A third wrote, "Awesome natural physique man. You're an inspiration for what is possible. You've made immense progress in the last year and a half 👏," referencing Baena's fitness journey, which he continues to share with fans on social media.
