His career has flourished in the aftermath of the attack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By all accounts, Garrett Warren has had a good life since recovering from the shooting. He remarried and fathered three more children. He has become an in-demand stuntman and personal trainer for the likes of Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Zoe Saldana, Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, and Dwayne Johnson. He has since worked in stunts and as a fight coordinator on a wide variety of popular movies.&nbsp;Good for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"430\" title=\"The Botched Assassination of\u00a0Garrett Warren: Hollywood is Horrible\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-6.01.14-AM.jpg\" alt=\"The Botched Assassination of\u00a0Garrett Warren: Hollywood is Horrible\" class=\"wp-image-169222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-6.01.14-AM.jpg 720w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-6.01.14-AM-400x239.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-05-at-6.01.14-AM-150x90.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Little is more pitiless than the violent dissolution of a marriage, particularly when kids are involved.

Garrett was granted sole custody of their daughter, and Claudia\u2019s filmography seems to have ended abruptly about the time she tried to kill him.
