Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of action star Arnold Schwarzenegger, is generating buzz for his role in the hit HBO series "The White Lotus." While embracing the opportunity, Patrick admits to feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension about his family watching his nude scenes in the show's third season.
In an interview on the "Today" show, Patrick joked about needing bathroom breaks during those particular moments. He portrays Saxon, the son of a wealthy Southern family vacationing at the luxurious White Lotus hotel in Thailand.
Arnold, known for his playful humor, publicly teased his son on social media, expressing excitement for the new season while acknowledging Patrick's daring scenes. He playfully suggested the nudity wasn't entirely unexpected, referencing the adage, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Patrick reacted to his father's comments with a humorous "Parents" post on X, accompanied by facepalm emojis.
Patrick revealed his family's enthusiasm for "The White Lotus," sharing that they watched it together every Sunday. He recounted a humorous anecdote about his mother, Maria Shriver, suspecting he was hiding something significant, even suggesting pregnancy, before he revealed his involvement in the show. Upon learning the news, his mother, sister Katherine, and Patrick himself shared a tearful moment of joy.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has four children with his ex-wife, Maria Shriver: Patrick, Katherine, Christopher, and Christina. He also has a son, Joseph Baena, with Mildred Baena. The third season of "The White Lotus" boasts a diverse cast, including Natasha Rothwell, Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Leslie Bibb, Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, K-pop star Lalisa Manobal, and more.
