Once talking to Men’s Health magazine, Baena stated, “Even though I could call him anytime, I was too proud. My dad is old school. He doesn’t believe in handouts. He believes hard work pays off, and so do I. I love the word honor, and I’m very prideful in the sense that if I use my dad’s contacts or ask him for favors, I wonder what honor is that gonna bring me?” His father inspired him to achieve the best in various fields. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see Baena sharing the screen with Charli D’Amelio.
