Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger has spoken out about his surprise at seeing his son Patrick’s nude scene in the latest season of “The White Lotus.” However, he quickly realized that his own acting career also featured several nude roles. The father-son duo discussed their careers and experiences during an episode of Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series.
During the conversation, Patrick explained how he navigated Hollywood as a nepotism baby, with some people assuming he got the role in “The White Lotus” because of his famous parents. He also revealed that he initially considered using a stage name to distance himself from his family’s celebrity. However, Arnold defended his son, stating he never asked for any favors or guidance in his acting career. The couple also discussed their own experiences with nepotism and how it has affected Patrick’s journey as an actor.
