Arnold Schwarzenegger must be pumped up.
The Terminator and True Lies star, 77, is the proud dad to five grown kids, including White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger and author Katherine Schwarzenegger—famously married to actor Chris Pratt. The former governor of California also shares two more children with ex-wife Maria Shriver. But it's his 27-year-old son Joseph Baena, whom the actor shares with former housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena, that has fans doing a double take.In a recent social media video posted by Baena, the actor and fitness model channels his famous dad's iconic weightlifting poses as he flexes and shows off the fruits of his labor in the gym. The resemblance is striking, and fans were quick to take notice.
One wrote, 'Arnold must be so proud that his legacy continued,' and another commented, 'Arnold all over again.'
Fans of Arnold's 1982 classic film Conan the Barbarian even suggested Baena as the perfect casting for an updated version of the film. One wrote, 'Need to see you as Conan for Halloween,' and another added, 'Little Arnold.'Fans noted they want to see the 27-year-old 'on the big screen.'
The people have spoken. Arnold, let's do this.

Sam Rockwell had his head shaved by strippers before quitting 'G.I. Jane'
Sam Rockwell may have quit his gig playing a Navy Seal in Demi Moore's infamous 1997 drama G.I. Jane, but he was treated to one heck of a night out before he left. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday, the White Lotus star recalled how Moore put together a wild party for the actors playing Navy Seals in the film, as well as the Navy Seals who were training them for the film. But the outing wasn't just for fun — it was also preparation. "Demi Moore had just done Striptease, the movie, and she got a strip joint, and she got all the strippers and the Navy Seals and the actors and got us drunk on tequila," said Rockwell. "And they shaved our heads — the strippers and Demi shaved our heads, and we got drunk with the Navy Seals and got lap dances." An astonished Kimmel replied, "And you quit that movie?" Indeed, Rockwell did leave the job before filming began — and he blames himself for not fully understanding the demands of the role. "I realized that when you play a Navy Seal, in BUD/S [Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL] training, you have to be in the water a lot. So, I probably should have read the script more thoroughly," the actor admitted. Rockwell went on to explain that he was "really skinny at the time," and as a result ended up experiencing "early hypothermia" after prolonged training sessions in the water. "I missed my girlfriend and I wanted to get out of there, so I did the boot camp, and then I split."Though he left early, Rockwell says G.I. Jane director Ridley Scott didn't hold it against him, and the two worked together again six years later in Matchstick Men. Rockwell is currently a favorite to receive an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama for his talked-about turn as Frank, friend of Walton Goggins' Rick, on The White Lotus. Though Woody Harrelson was originally supposed to play the role, he had to drop out due to scheduling. Rockwell credited his partner, actress Leslie Bibb, for encouraging him to join her in season 3, and for helping him prepare for Frank's epic monologue. "Usually for a two-and-a-half page monologue, ideally you want two or three months," Rockwell explained. "But I only had like four weeks or something."
