Arnold Schwarzenegger told his son Joseph Baena he would stop financially supporting him once he graduated college, adding "you're on your own".
The 74-year-old Terminator star had helped his son get through college, something which Joseph said he is very grateful for.
Joseph, 24, is an aspiring actor and bodybuilder, but has entered into a different career to make ends meet.
He now has a job in real estate to allow him to support himself after finishing his studies. He works for the Los Angeles realty firm ARIA Properties.
"I needed a job, and I was not getting any of the acting roles that I thought I was going to get.
"I was like, 'I need to do something', so I started interning at this real estate company," Joseph told Unwaxed Podcast.
He initially completed an internship with the company, hoping to learn as much as possible while earning money.
Joseph soon realised he enjoyed working in real estate and eventually got his license, allowing him to legally sell, broker, or rent real estate to prospective tenants and buyers.
Earlier this year, he celebrated selling his first home, posting a snap of himself outside the property on Instagram.
He captioned the post: "SOLD!!! Congratulations to my clients for trusting myself and @aria_properties to sell their beautiful Santa Monica Property!"
Joseph said he still dreams of following in his dad's footsteps and acting in big films while learning the trade.
He added: "I just love having a goal and then going for it.
"With acting, I know that my goal is to be a reputable actor and win some awards."
Joseph is the son from Arnie's affair with the Schwarzenegger family's former housekeeper Mildred Baena. She was reportedly pregnant with Joseph at the same time Arnold's ex-wife Maria Shriver was expecting their fourth child.
