Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Patrick exposed everything in HBO hit series The White Lotus and the former bodybuilder has now shared his hilarious reaction to seeing his kid’s manhood
Arnold Schwarzenegger was shocked by his son Patrick Schwarzenegger’s “weenie” in The White Lotus.
The 31-year-old actor stripped fully naked for a scene in Mike White’s hit HBO anthology thriller, and his famous father “couldn’t believe” what he was seeing.
During a joint interview for Variety’s ‘Actors on Actors’ series, Arnie said: “I couldn’t believe [it].
“I said to myself, ‘I’m watching your show, and I’m watching your butt sticking out there.’ And all of a sudden, I see the weenie.
“What is going on here? This is crazy.”
However, the 77-year-old action movie legend was quick to remind himself that he was also seen in very little clothing for some of his most famous roles.
He added: “Then I said to myself, ‘Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don’t complain about it.’
“But it was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely.”
Patrick drew another comparison between their paths, and the reason for being willing to go above and beyond for a role.
He said: “I guess the similarity from Terminator to White Lotus was that you were working on a project with James Cameron, who is one of the greatest directors of all time.
“For me, it was a blessing to work with the writer, the director, the creator of ‘White Lotus’ — because Mike does everything.”
Reflecting on the original Terminator – and the memorable naked scene – Arnold recalled how the movie was meant to be a departure from his musclebound image.
He explained: “Terminator was a huge breakthrough because I was doing the Conan movies, and this is exactly what my dream was when I was a kid.
“You wanted to get into acting because of acting; I wanted to get into it because I saw Hercules on a big screen.
“I started training and said to myself, ‘I will become Mr. Universe, and I will be getting into movies because of my fame’.
“Terminator was the first time that I was doing a film that had nothing to do with the muscles. It was with leather jackets on and being a machine. Only the opening scene was naked. But I’m talking about naked.”
