Adding to it, he also mentioned how his father always wanted to hear about the drama and revealed the reason behind not taking his father's last name. He said, "I never had the Schwarzenegger name. I think really the thing is that I haven't focused on changing it. I'm doing my own thing. I haven't thought of it that much. I have a last name already. I'm already doing so much and succeeding and moving forward with my goals. That's the last thing on my mind."
