One of Hollywood’s hottest speaking gigs these days is at a boxing gym.
“Patriots Day” director Peter Berg co-owns Wild Card West Boxing Club in Santa Monica, Calif., where, a spy explains, “he’s been regularly hosting a speaker series . . . Rihanna and Liev Schreiber are among the gym’s clients.”
We hear that last week Berg hosted Chelsea Handler for a talk “about everything from Chelsea’s experience doing ‘ayahuasca’ to taking on white supremacists on her show.” In the audience were actor Taylor Kitsch and UFC announcer Bruce Buffer.
An attendee added, “Peter opens these events to local police officers, firefighters and veterans as well so they have a very community feel — in the past Navy SEALs Marcus Luttrell and Jocko Willink have spoken.”
