Arnold Schwarzenegger Reacts to Son Patrick's Nude Scene in The White Lotus

In a candid interview for Variety's Actors on Actors series, Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed watching his son Patrick's full-frontal nude scene in HBO's The White Lotus Season 3, expressing surprise but also acknowledging the irony given his own history of on-screen nudity in films like Conan and Terminator. Arnold described the moment as "crazy" and joked about seeing Patrick's "weenie" on screen, which sparked mixed reactions on social media ranging from amusement to discomfort. Despite the initial shock, Arnold praised Patrick's acting skills, saying his performance "surprised the hell out of me." Patrick reflected on navigating Hollywood as a 'nepo baby' and the challenges of stepping out of his father's shadow while taking bold career decisions, including nude scenes. The father-son duo also touched on their experiences working with top directors and the scrutiny they face in the industry. Additionally, Arnold revealed in the same interview that he initially disliked the iconic Terminator line "I'll be back" and unsuccessfully tried to have it rewritten, with director James Cameron insisting it remain unchanged.
