"Son of a Gun!" Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares Surprised Reaction to Patrick's Nude Scene on "The White Lotus"
Arnold Schwarzenegger expresses surprise over his son's explicit on-screen appearance
Hollywood's dynamic duo, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son Patrick Schwarzenegger, sit down for a revealing chat in Variety's "Actors on Actors" series. And it turns out dad's not just proud of son's acting chops - he's also a little shocked by Patrick's naked antics on the hit streaming series "The White Lotus."
"Dang, son, you really went all out on that role, didn't you?" Arnold says, chuckling. "I mean, your acting was off the charts, but I didn't expect you to take it all off too." Arnold admits he was blown away by his son's chops, with everyone at the gym raving about Patrick's performance. But not everyone loved his character, prompting Patrick to compare it to his old man's iconic role as theTerminator.
When the conversation turns to Arnold's big break in Hollywood, he recalls the "Terminator" was the first film where he wasn't just showing off his muscles. "Sure, I had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction in a few films, like 'Conan,' but your grand entrance in 'The White Lotus' really gave me a run for my money," Arnold quips.
Despite the family's mixed reactions to Patrick's nude scene, Arnold can't help but laugh about the whole thing. "So, I'm watching your show and suddenly, bam! There you are with your bits out for the world to see! I never thought I'd be comparing my own nude escapades to yours," Arnold shares with a smirk. But Patrick's not exactly grateful for his dad's support, saying, "Thanks, Dad, for reminding me how much I deserve all the attention, I guess."
Unlike some stars, Patrick didn't need any help from his famous father to land roles. "I never asked you for a single intro or advice on acting," Patrick points out. "You've always let me find my own way." Arnold beams with pride, reminding the world that he's not just a fighter, but a loving and supportive dad too.
