Michael Peña plays in a band, but music isn’t really an escape for him … because he’s just going from one gig to the next … keeping his day job as an actor too.
We got the ‘Ant-Man’ star at LAX and our photog asked him if leaving movie sets to play onstage with Nico Vega is a nice break from acting.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
But, as Michael explains, the grind never stops … he’s on his way to Mexico to play a show, but then has to fly back down to Australia to film at the end of the week … so he’s got a lot on his plate.
Asked why he stays so busy, Michael jokes … “Because I’m Mexican, dude, and I think it’s in my blood.”
It takes a lot of talent to act and play music, but Michael’s serving some humble pie here … telling us he’s just a mediocre musician and actor who works really hard to hone his craft.
Nico Vega’s got a new EP out too, and Michael’s band gets him to plug “Make It Out Alive” … looks like a pretty tight-knit group.
Michael’s pretty chatty here, and he tells us some of his goals for his music career.
