Arnold Schwarzenegger’s rarely seen son shows a drastic transformation in the new family picture

Arnold Schwarzenegger is known for his former bodybuilding competitions and his muscular body, and it seems that his children also inherited this passion.

In a new picture that Arnold’s daughter Katherine shared, his son Christopher introduced a tinted new look that cannot be recognized from his previous appearance in 2018 and 2019.

“My favorites forever and always #nationaliblingday”, labeled Katherine, the post that Christopher showed in assembled navy tea and gray shorts, with a big smile on his face when the rarely seen 27-year-old posed with his siblings, Katherine, Patrick and Christina.

The four are Arnold’s children with the first wife Maria Shriver; Arnold is also the father of Joseph Baena, 25.

Christopher’s fitness trip is said to have started in 2020 when he made it a personal mission to get well before graduating from the University of Michigan.

He changed his approach to his diet, integrated more proteins and healthy snacks and lowered sugar and committed to a training routine that would help him lose fat and build strength.

“Between their boxing classes, their weight lifting classes, their stretch classes, their bicycle courses and so on and so I can’t even keep up with them!” Arnold shared in 2021 on his son 24th birthday.

Christopher has remained out of the spotlight and keeps his social media accounts privately. It is believed that he is a development director at Indus Valley Media, a production company based in Los Angeles that serves the global film and television market.

The 76-year-old Arnold has also changed his nutrition and training routine in recent years after performing three operations on the open heart.

Nowadays, the actor mainly eats a plant -based diet and has switched from free weights to focus on cycling, swimming and resistance training.

“Last Monday I had an operation to become a little more machine: I have a pacemaker,” he told the fans in his podcast in 2024.

“First of all, I want you to know that I am fine! I had my operation on Monday and on Friday I was already at a big environmental event with my friend and colleague, Crusader Jane Fonda,” he continued. “Nobody would have ever thought that I started an operation the week.”

“I would like to thank my entire team in the Cleveland Clinic. All doctors and nurses looked after me amazingly and made the operation as painless as possible,” he added.
