Joseph Baena has been "getting a little leaner" since joining 'Dancing with the Stars'. The 25-year-old model - who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger - admits that his body has been "changing" over recent weeks. Joseph - who has been partnered with Daniella Karagach on the TV show - told Us Weekly: "I feel like I’m getting a little leaner.
I’m losing weight, for sure. It’s definitely a change of pace … The body’s changing a little bit. " Joseph acknowledged that dancing involves "a lot more cardio" than he expected.
And Joseph admits that he's being pushed to his limit by his professional partner. He said: "It’s a lot more core [work]. [Daniella’s] kicking my butt in the ballroom … [I’m] drenched in sweat basically every night because of these workouts.
" Joseph has always been compared to his movie star dad. But the model doesn't allow the comparisons to bother him. He explained: "I love my father.
He’s the smartest, best man I can think of. So, you know, to be compared to him - to be in the same character, Hercules - it’s amazing. It’s awesome.
And, you know, who doesn’t want to be like their father, right? It’s great. " Joseph's mother is Schwarzenegger's former household staffer, Mildred Baena. And Joseph only discovered the identity of his father when he was in school.
He previously said: "I remember the day very vividly. I was in the eighth grade. Fifth or sixth period.
And I get called out of class to leave. And my mom’s there, and she’s like, ‘We gotta go - everyone is finding out about you and who your father is. ’ I’m 13.
Your body’s transforming; your mind is transforming. And now my life transformed before my eyes. "
