NextImg:Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lookalike son Joseph Baena causes fan frenzy: ‘Best genes on the planet!’

Talk about massive flex appeal. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Joseph Baena went viral on Instagram Monday after the 22-year-old bodybuilder shared a video of himself flexing for all his 564,000 followers to see.

In the video, Baena is seen wearing a black tank top, grey sweatpants, white socks and slip-on Vans before ripping off his shirt and giving viewers a look at his ripped body.

Baena’s video, which has scored almost 13,648 likes, is synced to a voiceover from former bodybuilder Frank Zane explaining how the building of muscle is a sport.

“When you’re training, it’s competition,” Zane reveals in the clip. “It’s a sport when you train.”

“And so it’s, it’s a sport, it’s an art form, it’s performing art, it’s Beauty Contest it’s all of these,” the clip continues. “That’s what makes it so interesting.”

Captioned “competing with myself to be better everyday,” several of the hunk’s followers praised Baena’s dedication to fitness.

“Wow some of the best genes on the planet! Keep going brotha,” one fan thirsted.

“Get this guy a role as young Conan! A prequel! He is perfect! Just will have to work in the voice,” a second fan exclaimed referring to the 1982 film.

“We gonna have another Terminator,” a fourth user laughed poking fun at his father’s successful movie franchise.

The muscled hunk was recently thrust back into the spotlight after Netflix released a documentary about Schwarzenegger, 76.

In the three-part series titled “Arnold,” the former California Governor detailed his affair with his housekeeper Mildred Baena, which resulted in Joseph’s birth.

A trailer released for the film showed the moment the “Terminator” Star confessed the boy’s true parentage to his ex-wife Maria Shriver.

“She wants to know if you’re the father of Joseph,” a counselor in 2011 asked the former movie star.

“I thought my heart stopped,” said the ex-politician. “And then I told the truth.”

“Yes, Maria. Joseph is my son,” Schwarzenegger replied — noting that his then-wife “was obviously crushed by that.”

Despite having a close relationship with his father, Baena says that he does not have any relationship with his half-siblings.

Initially, Schwarzenegger had denied that Baena was his son because his mother was still been married at the time.

“In the beginning, I really didn’t know,” explained Schwarzenegger. “But the older he got, the more it became clear to me.

“It was then just a matter of, ‘How do you keep this quiet,’” he continued.
