"Can't Believe My Eyes" - Arnold Schwarzenegger Blown Away by Son's NSFW Scene
Arnold Schwarzenegger expresses surprise over his son's explicit screen appearance
In a candid chat for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series, Arnold Schwarzenegger shares his initial reaction to seeing his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, baring all on TV in "The White Lotus". He's caught off-guard, exclaiming, "I couldn't believe it. I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there. And all of a sudden, I see the weenie."
The "Terminator" star praises his son's performance, calling it "unbelievable". Patrick Schwarzenegger portrayed the character of Saxon Ratliff, a wealthy and morally questionable alpha male, in the third season of "The White Lotus".
Arnold also acknowledges the similarities between their experiences with nudity in films like "Conan the Barbarian" and "Terminator". He admits, "I was just as shocked as everyone else when I saw your scene. But it's part of the business, and we both, it seems, take it in stride."
The conversation between father and son delves into Hollywood's nepotism debate. Contrary to popular belief, Arnold clarifies that he never used his influence to help Patrick's career. "I've never called a studio or an agent for you. I've never given acting advice. You've made it on your own merit," he says, expressing his immense pride in his son's success.
From the gym enthusiast to the screen star, the conversation highlights the challenges and triumphs in their respective careers.

I'm not going to be able to watch that scene because I find it too explicit for my entertainment preferences. As a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger's interviews, I'm particularly interested in the candid chat he had with Variety about his son's role in "The White Lotus," but I'll have to avoid this one due to its mature content.
