After channeling his father’s role as "Hercules" on "Dancing with the Stars" last week, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Joseph Baena admitted he feels the pressure to live up to his famous dad.

"It's been a huge growth year of me finding out who I am and really being secure… confident… no matter what the challenges are, what the comparisons are," Baena exclusively told Fox News Digital 

Baena expressed that having such a famous, accomplished father can be tough.

"The message that I wanted to get across was, there’s a lot of people out there with very accomplished parents… and it’s scary. It’s scary to get compared to these giants, and to have the feeling like you need to live up to these expectations."
