Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son, Christopher, captured widespread attention for his weight loss transformation. This transformation was seen in new social media photos, where he could be seen spending some quality time with his family. Christopher, who has largely been out of the spotlight — unlike his legendary father or brother, Patrick — had previously opened up about his weight loss journey in a past interview.
Christopher Schwarzenegger debuts a dramatic weight loss transformation
Katherine Schwarzenegger recently shared a series of pictures on Instagram. The photo carousel depicted the Schwarzenegger family — Katherine, Christopher, their mother Maria Shriver, and uncle Anthony Shriver — spending quality time together in a boat. They were also joined by Katherine’s husband, Chris Pratt, and their three children: Lyla, Eloise, and Ford, as well as Pratt’s son Jack from his marriage to Anna Faris.
In one of the pictures, Christopher Schwarzenegger — who was browsing his phone — could be seen rocking a slim appearance. He wore a white shirt and salmon-colored shorts.
“A perfect day,” Katherine Schwarzenegger captioned the post.
These photos come three months after Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son opened up about his weight loss transformation. At the time, he discussed it during an appearance at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles in May. Furthermore, he shared that the process took him five years.
“It was a big process,” the 27-year-old stated (via PEOPLE). “I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip.”
He explained he wanted to make his trip in Australia “a big deal,” adding that he was going to do a lot of activities in the country. However, he discovered that his weight was preventing him from engaging in activities.
“I was like, ‘I want to go skydiving,'” he recalled. “And my friends were like, ‘Yeah, no shot.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I can’t skydive.'”
Moreover, Christopher Schwarzenegger admitted that he had been insecure about his weight since his high school days. He shared that he brought customized lunches, which he described as “weird,” to school to ensure he ate healthily.
Furthermore, he emphasized that his weight loss didn’t happen “overnight” and that it involved “a lot of trial and error.”
“And even still to this day … when you’re saying, oh, before and after photos … I don’t feel like I’m an after yet,” he added. “I don’t feel like I’m at the point.”
Additionally, Christopher Schwarzenegger revealed the one food item he gave up, which helped him lose 30 pounds in less than two months.
“Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent,” he said. “I don’t know if anyone’s Catholic in here, but I gave up bread for Lent.”
