Actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, Joseph Baena, set tongues wagging when he flaunted his fit physique in a shirtless post.
Baena, who appears to be following in his father's footsteps by landing roles in upcoming action films, enjoyed a hot Pilates session before deciding to share a sexy photo.
Although Baena is Schwarzenegger's son, he opts against using the surname and reveals that he rarely asks his dad for acting advice as he is focused on figuring it out.

According to People magazine, Baena shared that one thing he does in a limited capacity as an actor is to ask his father's advice, as he's trying to "figure it out on my own."
"The main thing is just the work, putting in the work, the reps. That's the No. 1 thing that we always discuss. And it's just been me figuring it out myself," he shared.
Baena stated that he seeks advice from the former California governor "every once in a while," but he often prefers to go at it alone.
"I want to work hard, put in the reps, and work on my craft independently. There are no shortcuts in this. There are no shortcuts in acting or anything," Baena shared. "And so, that's what I want to get out of it is I want it to be my hard work and my ambition that gets me to that success."
The fitness enthusiast added, "So it's very minimal that I ask him for advice because I want to figure it out on my own."

The young actor opened up about his experience with being bullied as a child, per People.
Baena starred in "Bully High," a film about a Pakistani high school exchange student named Maryam (Aneesha Madhok), who gets bullied and harassed by peers and teachers for proudly wearing her hijab at a new school.
Baena candidly talked about the issue, noting that he had an experience with it as a child because he was bullied for being overweight.
"I was bullied when I was a kid, elementary, middle school, and not really in high school—but I just felt like an outsider at the beginning," he shared.
He added, "And so, from my closest friends, it wasn't like outside people or people I didn't know, or popular kids or whatever. It was my closest friends that were the ones that bullied me the most and made fun of me for being overweight and all these kinds of things."
