In classic dad fashion, Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted being just as surprised as everyone else when his son Patrick bared it all in Season 3 of The White Lotus.
"I'm watching your show and suddenly there's your butt popping out," the 77-year-old star chuckled during his recent Actors on Actors interview with his son. The hilarious moment was captured in the Variety tweet below.
"Then I spotted your... you know... and thought, 'What in the world is happening here?' It was wild! Then it hit me - wait a minute Arnie, you did the exact same thing in Conan and Terminator. I had no room to talk! Still caught me completely off guard though, seeing you following my footsteps quite this literally."

While Patrick's White Lotus role became his breakout performance, he's no stranger to the screen. The young actor previously appeared in 2022's The Staircase miniseries and 2024's American Sports Story.
In my personal opinion, his most impressive work to date was his haunting performance in the 2019 psychological thriller Daniel Isn't Real. Playing the manipulative imaginary friend to Miles Robbins' troubled protagonist, Patrick demonstrated his own unique acting chops - proving he's much more than just Arnold's son.
Speaking of Arnold, the original Austrian Oak launched his career with 1970's Hercules in New York before becoming an icon as The Terminator. Though he hasn't appeared in films since 2019 (focusing instead on Netflix's FUBAR series), fans can look forward to seeing him in the upcoming Kung Fury 2 and The Man With the Bag.
