“Jesus Christ, I Can’t Even Believe”: Arnold Schwarzenegger Reacts to Son Joseph Baena Recreating His 1970 Demigod Character in DWTS

Arnold Schwarzenegger made his acting debut in a fantasy-comedy film called ‘Hercules in New York,’ in 1970. However, he got internationally acclaimed after his 1984 blockbuster action movie, ‘The Terminator.’ Now, the 75-year-old actor is backed by his son Joseph Baena. Baena is Arnold’s son with Mildred Baena, a former housekeeper at the Schwarzenegger’s home.

Joseph Baena is a replica of Arnold Schwarzenegger, whether it is in physique or acting. He is pursuing dancing and is a big fitness addict. In an interview with Page Six after the show, ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ Baena revealed his excitement for his performance.

Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot believe his son is a brilliant dancer

Arnold Schwarzenegger is surely an unbelievable bodybuilder, an outstanding action hero, and an influential politician. But one thing he is definitely not, and that is a dancer. However, one of his sons has been showing some exceptional dancing skills on TV. Joseph Baena, Arnold’s son, is showcasing some brilliant dance moves that even his father can’t believe. 

Joseph said in an interview, “He’s watched the past three dances and he keeps saying, every week, he’s like ‘Jesus Christ, I can’t even believe that you can move like that!’ Because our family’s not known for dancing, especially on my dad’s side.”
