“I want to work hard and put in the reps and work on my craft my own. There’s no shortcuts in this. There’s no shortcuts in acting, and in really anything,” Baena said at the time. “That’s what I want to get out of it is I want it to be my hard work and my ambition that gets me to that success.”
“So it’s very minimal that I go to him and ask for advice because I want to figure it out on my own,” he added.
In 2021, Schwarzenegger shared a birthday tribute to Baena, writing on Instagram that his son is “crushing it in the gym, in your real estate career, and in acting.”
