Joseph Baena is once again making fans of his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, do a double take.

Although the 75-year-old Terminator actor has five children but only one had followed their father's footsteps when it comes to bodybuilding and acting - 25-year-old Joseph Baena.

The youngest son of the Hollywood icon showed off his toned physique at the now-legendary Gold's Gym in Venice Beach, Los Angeles.

In a series of pictures shared on his social media, Baena strikes a pose in the very same venue the iconic bodybuilder used to work out at after moving to the United States in 1968.

Check out Baena's buff pictures below:

The real estate agent - who is also a fitness model and DJ - can be seen flexing his bulging biceps and massive leg muscles, in what's considered a classic bodybuilding move.

"Oh hey look a traffic cone," he quipped in the caption, in a reference to the orange cone sitting to his right near the stairs.

Many of Schwarzenegger's supporters rushed to the comment about the uncanny resemblance between the father and son duo. One user wrote: "Look like your dad in his younger days well done."

Another said: "Looking so much like yo daddy!" while a third user remarked: "You look at hell of a lot like an Austrian bodybuilder I used to enjoy playing a barbarian back when I was 12 years old."

A fourth user shared: "Must be something to walk around every day with the genetics of the greatest bodybuilder ever.. cheers bro.."

The Commando actor was inducted into the same gym Baena was spotted working out at for its 50th anniversary celebration back in 2015.

"When I first came to America, I went to Gold's Gym before I even went to my first apartment. Gold’s Gym became my home. It was like a family to me," Schwarzenegger said at the time, as reported by Club Industry.

He added: "At the time, physical fitness wasn’t mainstream, but look at what we have accomplished in these 50 years. Now everyone is working out. Remember that you all are a part of the fitness crusade that we started 50 years ago."

Baena opened up about his relationship with his father - who had him following an affair with his housekeeper Mildred Baena - on the red carpet for his latest movie Fubar.

Speaking to Extra TV, the young actor was asked what the "best piece of advice" the 'Austrian Oak' had given him was when he had first begun following in his father's footsteps.

"I mean, just with anything that I do, but especially with acting, he's really supportive and always, you know, pushing me to work really hard, and then make it my own and, and do it on my own," he revealed.

The Bully High actor continued: "But his main piece of advice has always been, do the reps - and it sounds just like the gym - but it really makes sense because it's all about practice, practice, practice. The more that you practice, the more that you prepare for these roles, the better you're going to be, and I've taken that to heart and I've taken that into every role that I've been doing."

Further into the interview, the son explained that his dad was the best gym partner and even revealed that he is finally starting to "catch up" with the seven-time Mr. Olympia at the gym.

"I'm starting to lift a little," he said, "I'm starting to catch up with the weights but, you know, he pushes me so much in the gym and we love training together."

When the reporter asked who was the stronger out of the two, Baena diplomatically answered: "Right now, I don't want to say but he'll always be the strongest in the family."
