‘Impressed with your Photoshop skills pops’: Arnold Schwarzenegger gets playfully praised for mocking up his son Christopher’s graduation picture
Arnold Schwarzenegger was not going to let his youngest son’s graduation go unnoticed… even if the ceremony itself had been terminated.
In a ‘Proud Dad’ moment yesterday, Schwarzenegger to son Christopher, 22, on his Instagram by mocking up his own graduation photo, congratulating him on graduating with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan.
Meanwhile, his other son Patrick appeared to be somewhat amused by the collage commenting underneath: “Congrats bro!” then adding: “PS impressed with your photoshop skills pops.”

Katherine Schwarzenegger also commented on the happy news, “THE BEST LITTLE BROTHER EVER LOOK AT HIM” alongside a heart emoji.
The ceremony had presumably been cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which wouldn’t have allowed for a large graduation event to take place.
The Terminator star – who was pictured out exercising on his bike in Los Angeles on Monday – had posted a photo of Christopher in cap and gown mocked up to show him holding his degree and an ‘I did it’ trophy.
The Hollywood star, 72, wrote: ‘Christopher, you are a champion and I love you.’

Arnie continued: ‘I know your graduation from Michigan wasn’t the big celebration you dreamed about for years, but walking across a stage isn’t what makes me so proud of you: it’s your compassion, your hard work, your vision, your critical thinking, and your selflessness that make me burst with pride.’
‘I can’t wait to watch you keep climbing and succeeding,’ the proud father added.
It’s not known what Christopher’s degree is in.

Joseph is Arnold’s son with the family’s former housekeeper Mildrid Baena, 59.
The illicit relationship and secret son was revealed in a bombshell article by the LA Times just four months after the end of Arnold’s term as Governor of California.
As a result of the scandal, Maria moved out of the family home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and the couple confirmed their 25-year marriage was over.
