Just like dad: Patrick Schwarzenegger shows off his incredibly toned physique as he relaxes on the beach with his family in Malibu, California yesterday



His famous father launched his career by posing with his shirt off.



And it appears that Patrick Schwarzenegger, the 17-year-old son of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, might be following in his fathers footsteps.



The young man displayed his toned model like physique as she enjoyed a fun day at the beach in Malibu, California, yesterday.





Model physique: Patrick laughed and joked around with his sisters Katherine and Cristina while his mother Maria and brother Christopher sat nearby





Wearing colourful red and blue check shorts, Patrick showed off his six-pack and toned arms as he took a cooling dip in the ocean.



The 17-year old son of the disgraced former California Governor is the star of a huge billboard in a new campaign for denim brand Hudson Jeans which looms Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.



Patrick appears shirtless in the advert, which showcases his slender yoga-honed physique. He may be no beefcake like his former weight-training fanatic father but he's definitely more easy on the eye.





Campfire: The family sat round while Christopher serenaded them with his guitar





Patrick, who turns 18 next month, has been trying to embark on a career in modelling and fashion. He follows in the footsteps of another child born to famous parents, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall's daughter, Georgia May Jagger, who also models for the brand.



A source told The New York Post: 'Young Hollywood is going to go crazy for this kid.'



Meanwhile, Patrick enjoyed some fun in the sun, laughing and joking around with his older sisters, Katherine, 22, and Cristina, 19 as they sat on swings hung from the trees.





Fun times: Patrick gave his sister Cristina a piggy back down the beach





In his heyday: Patrick's father Arnold was known for his muscles winning the Mr Olympia title
