Joseph completed his costume with a pair tan trousers some leather wrist cuffs and styled his hair into a mullet. 

Whilst he was dressed as Hercules to dance the Charleston with his partner Daniella Karagach, Joseph was the spitting image of his dad in the fantasy series. 

The pre-historic world of Conan was filled with savagery as the titular character sought revenge against Thulsa Doom, the leader of a snake cult who killed his parents.

The duo scored a possible 28 out of 40 for their performance to A Star Is Born with the fitness model admitting: 'I've been a fan of Hercules for a long time.'

'My dad did Hercules In New York when he was younger,' he added. 

While Joseph currently works as a real estate agent, he has been putting in the footwork to become a working actor like his famous father.

In fact, he has since hired entertainment manager, Henry Penzi, and booked his first big acting gig in John Malkovich's upcoming sci-fi film Chariot.

Earlier this year, Joseph told Men's Health that he was eventually able to connect with his father over their shared love for bodybuilding and fitness.

To help with his training, Schwarzenegger ended up giving him a copy of The Encyclopedia Of Modern Bodybuilding, co-authored by the seven-time Mr. Olympia champion and considered by many to be the Bible of bodybuilding.

'Even though I could call him anytime, I was too proud,' Joseph confessed of their relationship to the publication. 

His mother is the former California governor's former housekeeper, Mildred Baena. 

He continued: 'My dad is old school, he doesn't believe in handouts. He believes hard work pays off, and so do I. 

'I love the word honor, and I'm very prideful in the sense that if I use my dad's contacts or ask him for favors, I wonder what honor is that gonna bring me?'
