Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilding son Joseph Baena might look like a Greek God at present, but he was a chubby kid in high school. He even had braces, and as mentioned in an interview, was not good-looking. He was also fat-shamed throughout which brought his morals down.

However, he then joined swimming and lost a lot of weight. He recently even revealed how he was cut off from the basketball team for being overweight, and would often shy away from sports like soccer as well. Sharing the reel, he had a hilarious interaction with one of his fans, who related to him.
