Son's Revealing Scene Leaves Arnold Incredulous - Arnold Schwarzenegger was taken aback by the explicit portrayal of his son's body in the media.
Hollywood powerhouse Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son Patrick Schwarzenegger sat down for a candid chat about success and nudity scenes for the industry magazine, Variety. In an unexpected turn, Arnold opened up about his thoughts on Patrick's full-frontal nudity in emerging streaming hit "The White Lotus."
"I was fucking floored, mate! I didn't even recognize you with that look!" Arnold exclaimed, now finding himself a regular topic at the gym with patrons raving about Patrick's mesmerizing performance. However, not all reactions were positive, as some viewers unhappy with Patrick's character urged Arnold to reconsider casting him in future projects.
When reminiscing about their respective Hollywood beginnings, Patrick disclosed his initial concerns about using an alias to escape the shadows of his famous father.
"Living in your shadow was a burden in the early days," Patrick candidly admitted. "But I've grown to embrace it and focus more on doing what I think is right rather than worrying about living up to your legacy."
"Stunned by the Turn of Events"
During this heart-to-heart talk, they also discussed Arnold's groundbreaking role in Hollywood, particularly his role in "Terminator." Arnold revealed that "Terminator" was the first film that wasn't solely about showcasing his muscles, as the opening scene featured nothing but skin. Unsurprisingly, Patrick stripped down for his own role in the series.
"I couldn't bloody believe it! I'm sitting here, watching the damn show, and up pops your arse on screen!" Arnold exclaimed. He was especially amused when the show introduced an array of sausages, reminding him of his own nude scenes in "Conan" and "Terminator."
"But holy hell, I didn't expect you to follow in my footsteps that closely!" he laughed.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Proud of His Son, Never Asked for help
Contrary to popular belief, Patrick never asked his father for advice or assistance when securing roles, according to Arnold.
"Leave it to my boy, he's a fighter! He's never needed my help in this industry. I'm proud as punch of him, and if you can't see it for yourselves, then you're blind!" Arnold proudly stated.
