No one talked like that in the class or lashed out.”Īrnold Schwarzenegger and his son Patrick Schwarzenegger during the GQ Men of the Year Awards on Nov. I went to a very small one, a hundred kids in the grade. Schwarzenegger says he couldn’t relate much to the large, cliquey high school portrayed in Moxie, having attended the small private Brentwood School in Los Angeles. From her being the producer to her being an empowering female director to being another star actress of the film and really using her platform to push out a message and use this film as a medium to push out a message.” “I couldn’t speak higher of Amy and her work, and working with her and working for her.

The 27-year-old’s acting career kicked off in modest fashion 15 years ago this month, when he made his screen debut credited as “Jock Kid Game #3” with a bit part in the 2006 Rob Schneider-David Spade comedy The Benchwarmers.
