Hollywood actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Joseph Baena has come out to share why he doesn’t use the family name.

Recall that he recently revealed that he is keen to follow in his dad’s footsteps in the fitness world and acting.

According to him, even if Arnold has been a very good father to him, he is doing away with his surname because he is trying to do things on his own while pursuing his own career at his own will.

Joseph added that even if he is a product of Schwarzenegger’s affair with his maid, he loves them both.

His words, “He’s a great father. He has been nothing but amazing to me. He’s been very supportive with everything that I have chosen to do.

Going to Pepperdine, graduating from University and when it comes to my acting career and my real-estate career, my journey into bodybuilding and fitness – he is always there and he is a great support to have. He is a great dad.

I think the main thing is that I am trying to do things on my own and pursue my career with my will, my determination and my work ethic. It’s just doing everything through me.

My family is very big about supporting from afar and not being so hands-on. I really appreciate that and I think it is really important growing up as a man to do things on your own and to figure it out. So that’s what I’ve been doing and it’s been working so far. I’ve been working really hard.

As a kid, you don’t really question too much. It’s just how it is. For me, I love my father. He is an amazing man. I love my mother, she is an amazing woman. So yeah, I’m just really happy and honoured to be a part of this family.

He always has great advice. I think for me it’s just been really funny because a lot of the things I have been pursuing, like acting and real estate, are like childhood dream jobs.

Some children grow up wanting to be a firefighter or an astronaut, but I have always loved film and I have always wanted to be an actor. It’s just the way the cards have played out. We happen to do and like a lot of the same things.”
