After Patrick Schwarzenegger’s role as Saxon Ratliff in The White Lotus Season 3 inspired a gay porn parody, he has come out to react to the bizarre development. The 31-year-old actor plays a young and brash businessman who travels to Thailand with his family and ends up engaging in an incestuous relationship with his brother. In addition to garnering immense praise for Schwarzenegger, the part also influenced an adult film, which he seemingly discovered in a surprising way.
Saxon Ratliff-inspired porn parody shocked The White Lotus Season 3’s Patrick Schwarzenegger
The Midnight Sun star recently noted that he has come across “some really weird experiences” ever since he took on the mantle of Saxon Ratliff in the third installment of Mike White’s black comedy anthology series.
Recalling one such incident, Patrick Schwarzenegger revealed to W Magazine that he discovered a gay porn parody, based on his character from The White Lotus Season 3, while at the gym.
“Last week, I was at the gym with two of my friends,” Schwarzenegger noted. “And a guy walked up to me and said, ‘I love your work, and I had to come over to you because my boyfriend just booked playing Saxon Ratliff in The Tight Lotus. I said, ‘What is that?’ And he said, ‘Tight Lotus—it’s a new porno coming out!’ And I said, ‘Excuse me?’ And he goes, ‘Yeah—he’s playing you.’ I was like, ‘Oh my god,'” he added.
Drawing inspiration from Patrick Schwarzenegger’s turn as Saxon Ratliff in The White Lotus Season 3, gay adult entertainment company Men.com announced a porn parody titled The Tight Lotus on via its Instagram page last month.
The White Lotus Season 3, featuring Schwarzenegger, Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, and Aimee Lou Wood, among others, concluded its eight-episode run on HBO Max on April 6, 2025. While the series will return for a fourth installment, the edition has yet to receive an official release schedule from its creators.
