From Shock to Praise: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hilarious Take on Son's Nude Scene on "The White Lotus"
Arnold Schwarzenegger expresses surprise over his son's explicit filming appearance
In a candid chat, Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son, actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, delved into Patrick's racy role on the hit series "The White Lotus."
"Your performance left me speechless, son. I simply couldn't recognize you. It's been a long time since someone at the gym hasn't approached me to praise your talents," Arnold shared in a chat for industry mag "Variety." However, not everyone appreciated Patrick's on-screen antics.
The father-son duo discussed more than just the controversial role. Reflecting on Arnold's acting debut, Patrick spoke of the challenges of acting under the shadow of a famous father. "In the early days, I wondered if I should use an alias to escape your shadow. But eventually, I learned to focus on doing what I thought was right instead," he shared.
As the conversation steered towards Arnold's big break, he laughed about his initial role in "Terminator," revealing, "Only the opening scene was naked, if you catch my drift." And it seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as Patrick has followed suit in the nudity department.
When the senior Schwarzenegger saw his son's nude scene, he exclaimed, "I couldn't believe it! I was watching your show, and suddenly, there you were in all your glory. That's wild!" Despite his initial shock, Arnold acknowledged that he too had his fair share of nudity scenes, most notably in "Conan" and "Terminator."
Patrick's role in "The White Lotus" has been a topic of controversy, fueling the ongoing Hollywood "nepo baby" debate. But Arnold quickly set the record straight, stating that Patrick never asked for his help in landing roles or advice on acting. The proud father expressed nothing but admiration for his son's talent and determination.
