Being a child of a famous father is not an easy thing. With big names come big responsibilities. And who has a better idea of this, if not the kids of Hollywood legends Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone? The two love to lead their lives in a larger-than-life way. They may be living their lives in style, but when downright, they are just fathers who sometimes embarrass their kids.
In January, when Stallone’s daughters Sistine and Sophia sat for a podcast episode with Arnie’s son, Joseph Baena, the trio had much to share. As they talked about his fitness routine, dating, upcoming films, relationship with family, and shooting his hilarious shot with Sophia at their holiday party, they undeniably had fun. But what caught the viewer’s attention was a ‘funny-embarrassing’ Sylvester and Joseph moment.

Arnold’s son opened up about his interaction with Stallone
As the trio sat down for the fun chat, Joseph recalled a moment from a party. Realizing that he was a “little drunk,” he decided it was the right time to return home. That’s when he got embarrassed. Speaking about the same, he elaborated, “why I got embarrassed is because I was literally calling my uber, and then your dad comes out, and he is like- ‘Joseph, are you leaving.'” (Joseph)
Though Joseph could not answer his query, he later explained his reaction to Stallone’s daughter. At that moment, he said he “was like- Aww Sly, come on!” As soon as Joseph made the revelation, Sistine got a little embarrassed. She quickly commented, “That guy has no social clues; he doesn’t know that’s rude to say to someone.”
But, perhaps, it’s just not Sylvester alone; it seems even Arnold shares this characteristic with his dear friend. Adding more, Sophia said, “I knew what he meant to cause our dads are very similar.” It’s pretty fun for the fans to realize their favorite starts were being the typical dads.
