Arnold Schwarzenegger comments on son Patrick’s White Lotus nude scenes
Arnold Schwarzenegger recently sat down with Patrick for Variety’s Actors on Actors interview, where they discussed their respective acting careers. During this discussion, the topic of Patrick’s performance in The White Lotus Season 3 came up, with Arnold noting that the former’s performance “surprised the hell out of [him].” He added that the stuff Patrick did in the series “was unbelievable.” The two then discussed Patrick’s nude scenes in the series, with Arnold expressing his shock and surprise at seeing them on screen.
The Terminator icon said, “I couldn’t believe it. I said to myself, ‘I’m watching your show, and I’m watching your butt stick out there.” The 77-year-old Hollywood veteran then stated how he was caught off guard by a scene featuring Patrick in full frontal nudity. “This is crazy,” he added.
However, Arnold acknowledged that he had done something similar many years ago with Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator, telling himself he had no right to complain.
“It was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps that closely,” Arnold shared.
Check out their conversation below:
The Running Man actor had previously celebrated his son’s role in The White Lotus Season 3 on Instagram in February, attending the premiere in Los Angeles with him. In the caption, he wrote, “I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
In a previous interview with USA Today, Patrick Schwarzenegger explained Saxon’s defining trait. The Gen V actor said, “Saxon leads with his penis; quite literally, that’s how he walks.”
