Terminator legend Arnold Schwarzenegger has reacted to his son’s rather explicit brother-on-brother scene in the hit HBO drama The White Lotus – and fans were in hysterics
Arnold Scwarzenegger has reacted to his son Patrick’s disturbing brother-on-brother scene in The White Lotus.
The HBO drama has sent viewers into meltdown in recent weeks after fans watched in horror after Lochlan (played by Sam Nivola) got sexually involved with his on-screen brother Saxon, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger. After horrifying viewers with the taboo incident, fans have been combing through the scene to find a host of other abhorrent details.
Now, Patrick’s father – and Hollywood legend – Arnold Schwarzenegger has broken his silence on his son’s bewildering scene in the show. Opting to avoid using words altogether, the star boiled his thoughts down to a single GIF.
Quoting a picture posted by his son Patrick and his co-star Sam, Arnold uploaded a GIF of himself in the 1994 film Junior. In the GIF, a young Arnold turns around slowly before catching a second glance, and looking horrified – echoing the feeling of viewers watching the latest season of the smash hit.
In the initial snap the actor uploaded, Patrick and Sam were seen posing for the camera in traditional beachwear attire. Seemingly aware of the backlash the show has received for the scene, Patrick poked fun of the incident, simply putting a devil emoji and a lotus emoji in the caption.
The move from Arnold comes as fans have been left fearing there may be a second sibling romp ahead after eagle-eyed viewers spotted a hidden detail. In the trailer for the seventh episode, Lochlan is seen chatting with sister Piper, played by Sarah Catherine Hook.
The shot sees Piper and Lochlan sitting alone on a bed having a conversation. Piper was seen donning a white puffy sleeve top, but following the brother-on-brother incident, Lochlan being shirtless had many fans hoping there would not be any more romps within the family.
Things were made even worse for horrified viewers, when he utters in the trailer “I don’t want to give into my dark s***,” before appearing to eye up his sister. To make matters even more disturbing, the duo’s mother was seen on her knees “praying for Piper”, which many viewers have chalked up to another disgusting moment between Lochlan and his siblings.
Reflecting on the filming, actress Charlotte Le Bon – who played Chloe in the series – said the scene was particularly hard for Patrick to film.
“I think for Patrick it was really difficult,” she told Variety. “For Sam, he was kind of like, ‘It’s whatever, let’s just do it well one time and it will be over,’ you know? But Patrick’s reaction in the episode is his genuine reaction. We all thought he was going to throw up.”
The White Lotus is available to stream on HBO.
