Joseph Baena, the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and his former housekeeper, Mildred Baena, has revealed that his father no longer financially supports him.
“I’m really grateful that my dad helped me get through college,” he said, on the Unwaxed podcast. “But right when college was done, it was just like, ‘You go. You’re on your own.’ I was like, ‘Oh, s**t’. So yeah, I needed a job, and I was not getting any of the acting roles that I thought I was going to get, and like starting to get paid.”
Now, Baena is a professional bodybuilder, like his lookalike father. The duo share a close relationship, though Baena has no plans to take his father’s last name.
“Well I already have a last name, and I don’t have a problem with my last name. I like my last name.”
