    Arnold Schwarzenegger Hilariously Reacts to Seeing His Son’s ‘Weenie’ on ‘The White Lotus’

    Patrick Schwarzenegger is no stranger to the Hollywood spotlight, but lately, he’s been making waves for reasons that go beyond his famous last name. The son of action legend Arnold Schwarzenegger has long battled the “nepo baby” label, striving to prove his chops  as a serious actor. His latest role in Season 3 of HBO’s The White Lotus may be his most daring yet, including a scene that left viewers, and especially his dad, utterly speechless…

    When Hollywood Royalty Gets Real: Arnold’s Priceless Reaction

    In a recent Variety “Actors on Actors” interview, father and son got candid about everything from nepotism to nudity on screen, and Arnold’s reaction was nothing short of hilarious. The former Terminator star confessed that he was unprepared for the full frontal moment featuring Patrick.

    “I couldn’t believe it,” Arnold shared with a chuckle. “I’m watching your show, and I see your butt sticking out there, and then, all of a sudden, I see the weenie. What is going on here? This is crazy.”

    I had thought the days of me hearing “weenie” in reference to anything besides a hot dog was long over!

    The moment prompted some self-reflection from Arnold, who jokingly reminded himself he’d done the same in his prime. “Then I said to myself, ‘Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don’t complain about it.’”

    Patrick wasn’t going to let his dad off the hook that easily, firing back, “Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing, so don’t complain.”

    Arnold laughed, admitting he was genuinely impressed by his son’s performance. “Your acting surprised the hell out of me. Not that I didn’t know you were good. But it was just unbelievable, the kind of stuff you did in the show.”

    Mom’s Take: No Saxon Shenanigans Here

    Patrick’s mom, Maria Shriver, also weighed in during an April 2025 TODAY show interview. She was quick to distinguish her son from the somewhat reckless character he portrays on The White Lotus, Saxon.

    “Patrick is not like Saxon. I just want to clear that up,” she said with a laugh. “Because people say, ‘Is Patrick like Saxon?’ I’m like, ‘Do you think I would have raised a Saxon?’” Shriver added that she’s thrilled her son found his breakout role in the series.

    Beyond the Name: Patrick’s Rise on His Own Terms

    While Patrick Schwarzenegger’s famous family name undoubtedly opens some doors, the actor is making it clear that he’s here to stay on his own terms. His unapologetic vulnerability in The White Lotus, including that unforgettable nude scene, shows his commitment to fully inhabiting challenging roles and defying expectations.

    For a young actor navigating Hollywood’s tricky waters, stepping out from under Arnold’s huge shadow isn’t easy. But Patrick’s bold choices and heartfelt performances are helping rewrite the narrative around nepotism and legacy.

    Fan Reactions: Cheers, Laughs, and a Little Secondhand Embarrassment

    Fans of the show quickly took to social media to share their reactions to the father-son nudity chat and Patrick’s candid new role.

    One Twitter user quipped, “Arnold’s just being a dad—hilarious and awkward in the best way.“The weenie” comment got me.” Another chimed in, “Patrick out here taking nudity to a whole new level while dad’s over here trying to keep it cool 😂.”

    Others praised Patrick’s dedication: “This is so adorable. Father and son interviewing each other and talking about weenies 😂”

    The lighthearted, funny exchange between Arnold and Patrick has also sparked affectionate jokes about Hollywood dads reacting to their kids’ on-screen choices. Proof that sometimes, even legendary action heroes get caught off guard.

    Chris Pratt isn’t shying away from discussing his brother-in-law Patrick Schwarzenegger’s bold moments in The White Lotus. The Marvel star, who is married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, shared a candid response to the buzz surrounding Patrick’s provocative scenes on the HBO drama, particularly his nude scenes that have sparked conversation.

    At the Feb. 24, 2025, premiere of The Electric State, Pratt offered his honest (and humorous) reaction to E! News. “I know where my eyes went—I’m not blood related to him, I was looking at that d—, bro,” Pratt joked while talking with E! News’ Will Marfuggi. “No, he looks amazing. Obviously, he’s a physical specimen, but also he’s a really solid actor, because the character he’s playing is completely different than who he is.”

    Pratt, known for his role as Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy, continued to compliment Patrick on his performance. “He created a character. And it feels natural and good. I’ve been telling everybody for years, I’ve been telling him as well, I really think we’re entering a decade of Patrick.”

    In addition to the playful remarks, Pratt also expressed deep admiration for his brother-in-law’s work ethic. He revealed how impressed he is by Patrick’s commitment not only to acting but also to business and other ventures. “I’ve been watching him, he’s just been working hard,” Pratt said. “He’s actually a hustler across the board, not just with acting but with business, and everything. He’s super driven, and I know he gets that from both his mom and his dad,” referring to Patrick’s parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.

    Patrick Schwarzenegger, who is making waves with his role in The White Lotus, has not only captured attention for his acting but also for his unabashedly revealing scenes. While the 31-year-old actor has remained tight-lipped about his intimate moments in the show, his family members have had some humorous reactions to the attention surrounding his performance.

    During an appearance at the Power of Love Gala on Feb. 22, 2025, Maria Shriver, Patrick’s mother, shared her own playful take on the scenes. “I just looked straight into his eyes,” she said with a smile, when asked about her reaction to the intimate moments.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick’s father and the famed action star, also had a lighthearted comment following the premiere of The White Lotus on Feb. 11, 2025. “What a show!” Arnold posted on Instagram. “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.”

    As for Patrick himself, he revealed that he had not given his parents any details about his more provocative moments on screen. Speaking on the carpet at the premiere, he joked, “I have not told them anything, but there are scenes that I will not be watching with them. I’m leaving for this episode or these episodes.”

    Despite the fun comments from his family, fans are left wondering whether Patrick’s White Lotus character will continue to be a source of conversation, especially given the show’s reputation for risqué moments. While it remains to be seen whether more nude scenes are on the horizon for the actor, Patrick’s growing role in Hollywood has made waves, with many praising his performance in the third season of the series.

    For now, viewers can continue to follow The White Lotus as it unfolds, eager to see what’s next for Patrick’s character. Meanwhile, Chris Pratt is preparing for the release of The Electric State, his upcoming Netflix film which debuts on March 14, 2025.

    The Schwarzenegger family’s dynamic continues to captivate the public’s attention, and with both Chris and Patrick continuing to make strides in their respective careers, it’s clear that they’re ready for a big year ahead.

    As The White Lotus continues to captivate audiences, the spotlight on Patrick’s career is only expected to grow. Stay tuned for more developments as the season progresses, and keep an eye on the rising stars of Hollywood, including Patrick, who is undoubtedly making a name for himself with his talent and undeniable work ethic.
