Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Look-Alike Son Was Rejected From Two of America’s Favorite Sports Due to His ‘Chubby’ Body in Childhood

Arnold Schwarzenegger has achieved excellence in various fields. He is a legendary bodybuilder, magnificent actor, clever entrepreneur, and a recognized politician. For a father figure like him, his children must find it difficult to match the world’s expectations to excel like their father. That’s a lot of pressure to pursue any field.

However, Schwarzenegger brought up the kids very well. One, they are doing magnificently well in their lives, and second, they don’t take added pressure from people’s expectations. Of his five children, Joseph Baena is Arnold’s kid with Mildred Baena. Earlier this year, Baena disclosed how pursuing swimming in his freshman year changed his way of approaching life.

How peer pressure transformed Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son’s life  

The world came to know about his fifth child in 2011 after Maria filed a divorce from Arnold. Baena was merely 13 years old back then, and it changed the whole symmetry of his life. Media, people, and everyone had questions for him, but what does a child know about all this? However, he grew but lost confidence amidst all the confrontations.

But how did he gain his confidence again and become the super stunning Joseph Baena he is now? Baena told the story to Men’s Health earlier this year. They mention that Baena was “Athletically inclined but chubby, he was cut from the basketball and soccer teams, and he considered giving up on sports.” 

However, things changed. Men’s health further mentions that “The turning point came when his buddy Cesar tried to badger him into joining the swim team. Baena balked, worried about how he’d look in a Speedo. But Cesar was relentless, and swimming had one big advantage over the other sports: to which Baena says, “There was no tryout.”
