Looking at Joseph Baena's physique, you'd expect to see him on stage somewhere posing during a bodybuilding competition. But what he really envisions for himself is becoming a successful leading man in Hollywood.
His passion for the film industry started a few years ago when the 25-year-old son of Arnold Schwartzenegger starred in a two-minute short film that was a shot-by-shot remake of the iconic "T2" scene where the cyborg steals a motorcycle, takes the owner's rifle and snatches his shades. Since then, Joseph has appeared in the John Malkovich sci-fi thriller "Chariot" (2022), as well as "Bully High" (2022), a coming of age drama that tackles some of today's more controversial issues, including religious prejudice, sexual orientation, and bullying.
Joseph says each onscreen role he's taken so far "has been a totally different experience," adding that "Bully High" particularly helped him learn about "creativity that goes into each scene" in a movie.
His other projects include "Called to Duty: The Last Airshow" and "Lava," both of which are in post-production.
According to his mentor and acting coach, Eric Morris, "Joseph is on his own journey, with his own specific obstacles. He's beautifully evolving. As he matures and gets more training, he'll take on more complex roles."
Some of Joseph's other major accomplishments over the past year or so have included being featured in a "Men's Health" cover story (March 2022), as well as competing on the 31st season of "Dancing with the Stars."
