Schwarzenegger Surprised by Son's White Lotus Nude Scene

In classic dad fashion, Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger was just as surprised as everyone else to see his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, showcasing his physique in Season 3 of The White Lotus.

"I'm watching your show, and I see you with your butt out," the 77-year-old Schwarzenegger shared during a recent Actors on Actors interview, captured in the Variety tweet below with his son.

"Then I spot the weenie, and I'm thinking, 'What's going on here?' It was wild! Then it hit me: 'Well, Arnold, let's be real—you did the same thing in Conan, Terminator, and all those movies. You were naked on camera, so you can't complain.' Still, it was a bit of a shock to see you following in my footsteps that closely."

Patrick arguably had his breakout moment with his role in Season 3 of The White Lotus, though he's been active in the industry for some time. He previously appeared in the 2022 miniseries The Staircase and the 2024 series American Sports Story.

On the film side, his strongest performance to date (in my humble opinion) is the 2019 psychological horror movie Daniel Isn’t Real, where Patrick portrays the imaginary friend of a troubled young man played by Miles Robbins. Over the years, he has consistently demonstrated his talent as a capable actor with a unique skill set distinct from his father's.

Arnie made his screen debut in the 1970 film Hercules in New York and is best known for his role as The Terminator in the Terminator franchise. While he hasn't appeared in a film since 2019—he has been leading the Netflix series FUBAR since 2023—he is set to return in two upcoming projects: Kung Fury 2 and The Man With the Bag.
