His newfound fame has the gym-goers raving - "Your son is fantastic," they tell him. But not everyone loved his character. Patrick reflects on the intense scrutiny actors face, recalling the infamous "Terminator" comparison.
"Can't Believe My Eyes!"
The conversation veers toward Patrick's daring role, prompting Arnold to burst into laughter, "I couldn't believe it! I'm watching your show, and then your derrière catches my eye. Suddenly, I see... it. What's going on here? This is nuts!" The 77-year-old reminisces about his own nude scenes in films like "Conan" and "Terminator". "I couldn't help but be surprised that you've followed in my footsteps so closely."
Despite the shock, Arnold handles the subject with good humor and a touch of irony, acknowledging his own history in the industry.
Contrary to speculation, Arnold clarifies that Patrick never sought his help to land roles. He proudly states, "I never asked you to call a studio or an agent. I never advised you on acting. I'm very, very proud of you."
