When asked about the upcoming Lava movie, Joseph Baena explained that it is a fun horror-thriller in which several girls come into town in Hawaii, meet a group of guys who are freedivers, and take them on a trip during which chaos ensues. Apparently, the group messes around with local folklore, and that turns their vacation upside down and into a horror story. Baena further stated that he was “excited for the movie to come out and let’s see how it goes.”

Meanwhile, Joseph is also staying busy in the gym, spending hours there every day. He says he is sticking to simple foods like meat, meat substitutes, and rice while hoping to land his dream role in a movie — a cowboy in a Western.

Currently, Baena is preparing for the holidays, and when asked if he plans to bring someone special home this year, he clarified that he was only going to spend time with his family.
