Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Christopher debuted an incredible new look as he walked the red carpet with his family at the premiere of FUBAR season two.
The 27-year-old looked better than ever after embarking on his weight loss journey, which has seen him lose over 30 lbs and grow in confidence every day.
Christopher joined his siblings Patrick, Katherine and Christina, as well as Katherine's husband Chris Pratt, in supporting their dad at the premiere of his Netflix series. He donned a tailored black suit and a white open-collared shirt for the night, looking suave as he towered over his family.
The youngest son of Arnold and his ex-wife, Maria Shriver, recently opened up about his health journey for the first time, revealing that he was inspired to get in shape after a disappointing realization.
A long road to confidence

The catalyst for his desire to get fit occurred when he was unable to go skydiving due to his weight while on a trip to Australia.
"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," he said on the panel.

"I tried everything. I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school," Christopher said, adding that it "took a lot of trial and error" to finally see results.
"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. I don't feel like I'm at the point," he explained.
Step by step

"Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent. I don't know if anyone's Catholic in here, but I gave up bread for Lent," he told the panel.
"I was like, 'Well, if I'm giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity, and I'm a good Catholic boy, so I'm not going to break it.' 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."

"Between your boxing classes, your weightlifting classes, your stretching classes, your cycling classes, and on and on, I can't even keep up with you!" the actor wrote. "I love you and I'm proud of you every day!"
