11-Year-Old Claimed to Be Next Arnold Schwarzenegger by Bodybuilder Mom- Here’s Everything You Need to Know

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a one-person army of versatile talent; probably no one can possibly beat the legacy that he has created. From pioneering modern-day bodybuilding to perfecting multiple roles, matching Arnold is one tough job. However, there’s an 11-year-old who presumably can be the “next Arnie.” As it turns out, Kerry MacDonald, who recently rose to fame after winning a series of competition titles, has some severe claims to make about his son.

From a person who had never set foot in the gym before April last year to become an overnight sensation in the bodybuilding world, Kerry’s story is of inspiration and perseverance. Undeterred by any unpleasing opinions, the mom of four has successfully passed the newfound passion to her son Aaron.

Though many claimed Kerry took steroids, the budding bodybuilder prefers to call herself a “genetic freak.” As she trains regularly at the local gym in Workington, Cumbria- her newfound success has now left her kids inspired to pursue the sport seriously. Her 14-year-old son Oliver is usually the one who accompanies her to the gym. But it’s not him who has shown the potential.

Grabbing attention is Aaron, her 11-year-old son, who is yet to start his weight training. However, the talented young man has already turned heads by participating in the competitions and earning sponsorship. “Obsessed” with the community, as his mother calls out, Aaron’s passion for the sport can not be undermined.

Talking about him, Kerry said, “Just a few weeks ago, he got up on stage and performed a bodybuilding routine.” Showering praise, the proud mother adds, “He got a tan and trunks. He was getting the crowd going, and they were cheering. You can’t make kids do that.” Being hopeful about his prospects, the champion mom also hinted that her son “might be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger.”

Who’s Kerry MacDonald?

Kerry might make it look easy, but her bodybuilding trajectory was perhaps not a cakewalk. Getting diagnosed with ADHD a month after she began her weight training, bodybuilding helped Kerry to stay focused. Her husband, Steven Johnson, a bodybuilder by profession, urged her to try bodybuilding. Though initially reluctant and shy, her friend, who is also Miss Cumbria, inspired her to break the stereotypes.

Last year she started to work out religiously, and the rest is history. From winning one competition to another, at 43, Kerry is living her life according to her terms. Now, with the youngest family member starting his journey, there will be more to look out for from the bodybuilding family.
