Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, Christopher Schwarzenegger, debuts a new look! The actor's son flaunted his new and trimmed physique while away on vacation with his loved ones.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's son's surprise new look comes after he opened up about the struggles and setbacks he encountered for about five years before making a breakthrough in his wellness journey.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Son Flaunts Trimmed Body On Family Vacation
The 27-year-old looks nearly unrecognizable in a new set of pictures shared by his sister on her Instagram account. The post shows the Schwarzeneggers on a family trip with their matriarch, Maria Shriver, and actor Chris Pratt alongside their kids.
Christopher looked super fit in a sky blue button-down shirt and pink shorts while he scrolled away on his phone aboard their boat. Another slide captured Maria, Katherine, and the rest of the fam taking a group shot while wearing the biggest smiles.
Katherine also showed off her famous husband taking a dip in the ocean with one of their kids. She also uploaded a picture of the names of three of their kids inscribed on a wooden floor with a black marker.
The comment section was filled with loads of admiration and praise for the happy bunch, as some curious fans queried why the kids were not wearing life jackets on the boat.
Christopher Schwarzenegger's Journey Towards His Weight Transformation
In May, PEOPLE reported that the associate producer got candid about his physical health and the things it took for him to experience a transformation. The actor's son spoke at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles about the half-decade-long process.
He revealed that the journey began in 2018 while he was on a trip to Australia. According to him: "I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities."
Christopher noted that he decided to change his life after a failed attempt at skydiving. He recalled severing his ties with bread, which resulted in him losing about 30 pounds during Lent.
The actor's son saw giving up bread as a great opportunity to see Lent through to the end, and the result was beyond impressive.
"And that was my one rule. I was like, 'I'm not going to break Lent.' And so I lost 30 pounds just through that," he concluded on the panel, which had Kelly Osbourne and Jeff Beacher in attendance.
Christopher Recalled Battling Insecurity About His Weight As A Highschooler
The associate producer continued on the panel that, as a high school student, it always felt weird for him to bring customized meals to school to help him eat healthier, but it was necessary.
While Christopher had lost 250 pounds at the time of the panel discussion, he confessed that the process took years of trying, failing, and getting back up.
Despite seeing how much progress Christopher has made, he has not yet shared before-and-after pictures because there is still more work to be done.
This 27-year-old flaunted his first-ever transformed look in April during an outing with his brother and actor, Patrick Schwazenegger, in West Hollywood, California.
The Actor's Son Offered Helpful Fitness Tips In Early 2025
Christopher is certainly not a newbie in the fitness game. The Blast shared that he dropped a gem for beginners in February during a Men's Health interview.
He stated that while the first step is always the hardest for beginners, it is important to build a routine and stay very consistent with that energy. Christopher eased his fans into it, advising them to begin with taking brisk walks and incorporate strength training with body weight into their routine.
"If your heart's beating fast, rest for a minute. Now do 4 pushups and 4 squats. Rest if you need to. Then do 3 pushups and 3 squats. Then 2 and 2, then 1 and 1. You just did 15 pushups and 15 squats," he advised.
Christopher added that anyone venturing into fitness should endeavor to set realistic goals, and not feed into motivation that will not last for an extended period of time. He advised fitness enthusiasts to maintain consistency for a day and then build on that foundation.
Inside Arnold Schwarzenegger's Son's Bond With His Siblings
The star shares a very close relationship with his siblings, who constantly shower him with love on social media. Page Six shared that Christopher has three siblings, Katherine, Christina, and Patrick, all from Maria and Arnold.
However, they have a half-brother, Joseph Baena, whom Arnold shared with his estranged wife's housekeeper, Mildred Baena. A source close to the family explained back in 2019 that while they do not share a public relationship, Joseph did grow up around them.
He was reportedly a regular visitor at their home in Pacific Palisades, where they lived from 1986 until 2003. Joseph's birth reportedly led to the collapse of Arnold's marriage to Maria after he confessed to having an affair with Mildred during a couples counselling session.
