Joseph Baena, the son that Arnold Schwarzenegger had with Mildred Patricia Baena in the late 1990s, will be 19 next month. And, not surprisingly, he looks a hell of a lot like his old man. And Baena has clearly been hitting the gym, too. It’s like the Pumping Iron-era Schwarzenegger has been magically reincarnated for a new generation, just with cooler hair. In a new video directed by Ben Hess, Baena faithfully recreates a memorable moment from one of his dad’s most iconic films, 1991’s mega-blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgment Day:
In the original James Cameron film, Schwarzenegger’s no-bullshit cyborg arrives from the future completely nude (as per usual) and stops by a tough-looking country-western bar in order to take some clothes and a motorcycle from a hapless patron. His mission wildly successful, the automaton emerges triumphant from the tavern to the strains of “Bad To ...

It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, Joseph Baena, wants to get in on the family Terminator business. Schwarzenegger played the T-800 Terminator in four films over the course of 30 years. Now his son takes on the character in a recreation of a classic scene from James Cameron's 1991 film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
The recreation of the scene was directed by Ben Hess, and it starts right after the Terminator beats the living hell out of a bunch of bar patrons and takes the clothes from one of them. Baena may not be as huge and muscular as his dad was, but he's definitely got his dad's look. I included the original scene from the movie below the recreation so you can compare the two if you want. ...

The world didn’t even know that Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son Joseph Baena existed until 2011, when news broke of the bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-California-governor’s affair with former housekeeper Mildred Baena, which ultimately broke up Schwarzenegger’s 25-year marriage to Maria Shriver. Now 18, Joseph Baena is the spitting image of his famous father — right down to the chiseled jaw, rock-hard muscles and piercing gaze. It appears that he also inherited Arnie’s acting ambitions, as Baena has now re-created one of Schwarzenegger’s most iconic scenes from “Terminator 2” in a YouTube video directed by his friend, aspiring filmmaker Ben Hess.

The 18-year-old stars in a two-minute short film that is a shot-by-shot remake of the iconic “T2” scene where the cyborg steals a motorcycle, takes the owner’s rifle and snatches his shades, while “Bad to the Bone” plays in the background.
