"Can't Believe My Eyes" - Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals Shock Over Son's Unleashed Scene
Arnold Schwarzenegger expresses surprise over his son's explicit on-screen appearance
Get ready for a chuckle! Beloved action hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger, sheds light on the hilarious moment he spotted his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, strutting around The White Lotus in all his glory.
In a cracking conversation with Variety, the father-son duo spills the beans about Patrick's star-making turn on the hit streaming series.
"Dude, your acting was next level. I was blown away! I mean, I didn't recognize you - I nearly fell off my chair!" Arnold gushes in the heart-to-heart. Now, according to him, gym-goers everywhere can't stop raving about his son's mesmerizing performance. Unfortunately, not everyone shared the same sentiment, and numerous folks loathed his character.
"Dad, you know how people connect characters to us? I feel like that's happened to you multiple times in your career – perhaps even with 'Terminator'," the junior Schwarzenegger wakes up to this realization.
As they reminisce about Arnold's Hollywood triumphs, the former governor opens up about the resistance he faced during his early career. "At times, I questioned whether using a pseudonym was the right call back then. It took a while to get to the point where I no longer dreaded living in your shadow," admits Patrick.
Harking back to Arnold's initial foray into the silver screen, he chuckles, "Yeah, the first scene in 'Terminator' was the only one I wasn't clothed!" And when it comes to Patrick, it seems old habits die hard.
Speaking of revelations, remember when Arnold saw a part of his son's anatomy he'd rather not have noticed? "I couldn't fucking believe it!" the 77-year-old chuckles. "There I was, watching your show, and all of a sudden, I'm fixated on your butt. Then, I see the tiny, wiggling sausage. What the hell is going on here? This is insane!" Arnold jokingly admits, acknowledging the unexpected Freaky Friday-like deja vu.
You might think Patrick manifested his dad's coveted roles through the power of nepotism. But, in the light of day, Arnold sets the record straight: "Nah, you never once asked me to lean on my contacts or ask for advice about acting." Instead, he beams with pride at his son's impressive achievements.
