He Won’t Compete
When it comes to fitness, Baena loves to train in the gym, play sports, and stay active, but he doesn’t feel the same need that Schwarzenegger did to jump into bodybuilding competitions. While exercising provides him with a sense of satisfaction, he’s focused on maintaining balance and happiness.
“There are so many other things that I care about more than fitness. My lifestyle, my family, my friends, having fun at work. There’s a balance. It’s not just fitness all the time,” Baena told Men’s Health.
Pursuing Acting
Like his father, Baena also enjoys acting. But this journey is all his own—he doesn’t use his famous Schwarzenegger name to give him any advantages.
“When I go to auditions, they don’t know who I am, because we don’t have the same last name,” Baena told Men’s Health. When he lands a role, he knows it’s his own talent that led him there, not his famous father. However, just because he won’t use his father’s name, it doesn’t mean he won’t use his father for advice.
