After revealing that Tik Tok star Carli D’Amelio and her mother Heidi will be competing on Dancing with the Stars season 31 when it premieres on Disney+ this fall, more cast rumors are beginning to emerge.
The latest is Joseph Baena, whose father is action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger. According to TMZ, Joseph was spotted Friday in Los Angeles as he made his way inside for dance rehearsal. Joseph worked to hide his identity with a visor.
Arnold got Joseph Baena’s mother pregnant while she worked as a housekeeper for the actor and his wife Maria Shriver
Who is Joseph outside of being the son of a famous actor? He’s followed his father’s footsteps into the gym, where he has developed a muscle-man’s physic. But he also nabbed a few acting roles, including appearing in John Malkovich’s Science Fiction movie, Chariot.
And if you’re wondering why Dancing with the Stars would cast a relative nobody (other than his parentage), notice that Joseph doesn’t share his famous father’s last name. That’s because Arnold got his mother pregnant while she worked in the Schwarzenegger household. Arnold was married to former NBC reporter and Kennedy scion, Maria Shriver. The two had four children together. After 25 years of marriage, the couple split in 2011.
Reportedly, he only confessed the affair to his wife after she confronted him with the information, which she had after confirming with the housekeeper what she suspected about the child. So, Arnold fooled around with the housekeeper, and she had a baby that looked suspiciously like him. OK then.
Will Wayne Brady take the DWTS dance floor?
Joseph is the third celebrity outside of Tik Tok dancer (ringer!) Carli and her mother. However, the rumors are coming fast and furious. The latest, although not confirmed, is Wayne Brady, who won The Masked Singer season 2 as the FOX. He also hosted Game of Talents for FOX and guest judged So You Think You Can Dance twice. He also had his own talk show at one point, hosted a slew of other TV shows, and starred on Broadway.
If the rumor is true, it’s surprising it took him and Disney so long to hook up.
The rumor is based on photos posted of a man who looks a lot like him entering the rehearsal studio.
