Arnold Schwarzenegger on Patrick’s nude scene

Arnold and Patrick sat collectively for an episode of Variety’s Actors on Actors 2025 version to debate appearing and far more. Talking about Patrick’s nude scene on The White Lotus, Arnold stated, “I couldn’t believe [it]. I said to myself, ‘I’m watching your show, and I’m watching your butt sticking out there.’ And all of a sudden, I see the weenie. What is going on here? This is crazy. Then I said to myself, ‘Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don’t complain about it.’ But it was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely.”

Arnold famously went nude for The Terminator, his breakthrough movie in 1984. The movie’s success made the Austrian bodybuilder a worldwide film star. Directed by James Cameron, The Terminator went on to spawn a number of sequels, with Arnold reprising his function in 4 of them.

Patrick Schwarzenegger on similarities with Arnold

Talking in regards to the similarities between their nude scenes, Patrick added, “Oh, yeah. I guess the similarity from Terminator to White Lotus was that you were working on a project with James Cameron, who is one of the greatest directors of all time. For me, it was a blessing to work with the writer, the director, the creator of White Lotus — because Mike does everything.”

The son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, Patrick started his profession with minor roles within the 2000s.
