Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Christopher, has revealed details from the journey behind his transformative weight loss.

Christopher spoke about his experience of getting in physical shape at the inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles.

Christopher spoke on a panel discussion along with Kelly Osbourne and the event’s host, Jeff Beacher.

He shared of the experience, “It was a big process…I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. 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…I was like, ‘I want to go skydiving,’ and my friends were like, ‘Yeah, no…’….I was like, ‘Yeah, I can’t skydive.’”

Christopher thought back to his years at school when he tried to create a healthy diet for himself. “I tried everything,” he said. “I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school.”

He continued, “It’s not an overnight thing, but it took 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. I don’t feel like I’m at that point.”

Christopher’s weight loss comes as his brother, Patrick, has gained sex symbol status with his role on The White Lotus.

Christopher detailed how he was able to lose a large amount of weight by cutting out just one food for the traditional 40-day Christian religious observance: “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 went on, “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 own rule. ‘I’m not going to break Lent.’ And so I lost 30 pounds just through that.”
