Patrick Schwarzenegger is following in his legendary father’s footsteps—quite literally—by baring it all in the latest season of HBO’s The White Lotus.
Patrick’s Bold Debut in Season 3
The highly anticipated third season of The White Lotus premiered on Sunday night, and Patrick’s character, Saxon Ratliff, wasted no time making an unforgettable entrance. Checking into a luxurious Thai resort with his family, Saxon soon stripped down for a full-frontal scene that left audiences stunned.
The HBO series is known for pushing boundaries, and Patrick’s scene took things to another level. After failing to impress the ladies at the resort, Saxon decided to take matters into his own hands—literally. As he walked naked from the bed to the bathroom, the camera didn’t shy away, giving fans a full view.
Viewers React—And So Does Arnold!
Social media exploded as fans reacted to Patrick’s risqué moment. Many pointed out the undeniable parallel between his scene and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s infamous nude debut in The Terminator nearly 40 years ago.
But what did Arnold think? Turns out, he was fully aware of his son’s on-screen exposure before it aired. The former Terminator star even took to Instagram to joke about it, saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Patrick himself confirmed to Esquire that he went all in for the scene—no body double involved. If you were wondering whether his famous family would be shocked, think again. Given Arnold’s reaction, it seems like he might have even passed down some pointers!
Will Patrick Keep the Streak Going?
Patrick’s full-frontal debut happened in the very first episode of the season, leaving fans curious—will there be more? As The White Lotus continues to unravel its drama-filled storyline, all eyes will be on Patrick to see if his character continues the streak.
With his bold performance and Arnold’s hilarious stamp of approval, it’s safe to say Patrick Schwarzenegger has made a name for himself in Hollywood—clothes or no clothes!
Stay tuned for more updates on The White Lotus Season 3 and all the shocking moments ahead. 👀🍑
