"[Stunned Silence]" Arnold Schwarzenegger Speechless Over Son's Nude Scene on "The White Lotus"
Arnold Schwarzenegger expresses surprise upon viewing his son's explicit on-screen appearance
Arnold Schwarzenegger shares an intimate conversation with his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, discussing his son's controversial nude scene in the popular streaming series "The White Lotus."
In an candid interview for "Variety", Arnold admits, "'Your acting blew me away,' I told my son. I was truly taken aback." Now, the gym crowd can't stop gushing about Patrick's screen presence. However, not everyone was impressed with his character. In response, Patrick candidly acknowledges, "People tend to associate you with your character, a lesson I've learned from 'Terminator' or perhaps even your own career."
Hollywood Breakthroughs and Controversial Roles
Patrick was cast in "The White Lotus" despite initial concerns about his acting background. "I used to wonder if it was smart to use an alias in the beginning. It took time to feel less overwhelmed by living in your shadow and more focused on making the right moves," Patrick confesses.
Arnold, reflecting on his own Hollywood journey, admits, "Terminator" was the first film away from the limelight of his muscles, and even the opening scene required him to bare it all. Interestingly, Patrick too has followed in his father's footsteps, embracing nudity on screen.
Shock and Awe
Arnold hilariously recounts, "I couldn't believe it, watching your show. Suddenly, there was your butt, and then…what's going on here? That's crazy!" Arnold, now 77, can't help but admit he's shared similar moments in films like "Conan" and "Terminator." Regardless, seeing his son mimic his courage was a shock.
Contrary to popular belief, Patrick's success wasn't a guaranteed path, Arnold emphasizes. "You never sought my advice or help with connections. I'm incredibly proud of you."
