Patrick Schwarzenegger is baring it all in his upcoming role in the popular drama, “The White Lotus.”
While Patrick, the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, is following in his famous father’s acting footsteps, the 31-year-old admitted he is nervous for his family to watch his nude scenes.
When asked how his family would react to his racy “White Lotus” moments, Patrick replied he may step out of the room when the scenes appear on-screen.
“I am a mix of things, I’m excited, I’m very excited,” he said on the “Today” show. “Then there are a couple of scenes where I think I’ll go to the bathroom, take a few minutes [to] break.”
Patrick plays Saxon in the Emmy Award-winning comedy drama. Saxon is the son of a wealthy Southern family who is staying at The White Lotus hotel in Thailand.
Arnold, teased his son about his risqué scene on social media and shared how ecstatic he was for the upcoming season.
“I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate @patrickschwarzenegger at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere. What a show!” Arnold penned on Instagram with a photo of his son on the red carpet.
“I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Don’t miss it this Sunday – trust me.”
Patrick took to X and reposted a headline article that pointed out his father’s comments on his provocative scene.
“Parents,” he said with two facepalm emojis.
