Previous Page Next PageArnold Schwarzenegger has responded in the most Arnold Schwarzenegger way possible to his son’s nude scene in season three of The White Lotus.
The HBO drama is returning with a bang for the third series with Patrick Schwarzenegger among those checking into the stunning hotel chain for a relaxing break in Thailand, beside Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, and Aimee Lou Wood.
The new episodes already command a huge 90% Rotten Tomatoes score from impressed critics, ahead of the release date on February 16 – and Arnie couldn’t help but tease the steamy scenes we can expect from his son, 31, going forward.
Taking to Instagram, the 77-year-old shared a photo as they proudly posed together on the red carpet at the premiere this week, alongside a cheeky caption.
‘I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate @patrickschwarzenegger at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere,’ he wrote. ‘What a show!
‘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.’

Despite the slightly bizarre reference to his son’s naked efforts, fans couldn’t get enough of the former politician’s post and quickly flocked to the comments below to praise him for his support of his family.
Madebymartincho posted: ‘Always love to see how much you support and love your family. Unrelated – I’m still up for adoption.’
‘Congratulations Patrick ! Arnold you must be out of this World proud for Patrick’s Accomplishments [sic],’ Heide.of.venice said.

As Igiounes added: ‘A proud father celebrating his son’s success! Excited to see Patrick shine in White Lotus Season.’
Patrick has previously starred in Gen V, American Sports Story, Scream Queens, and Moxie over the years.
In The White Lotus, he plays arrogant Saxon Ratliff, the oldest son of shady businessman Tim Ratliff (Jason) and kooky Victoria Ratliff (Parker).
Things are very strained between the Ratliff siblings (Picture: HBO)From the get-go, his relationship with siblings Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola) seems strained, leading to him waltzing around naked in one eye-opening scene.
Discussing the footage at a press conference, via CNN, Patrick suggested there was more to come and joked that he would be taking ‘some bathroom breaks’ while watching the season progress with his family.
He joked: ‘My whole family is coming to the premiere tonight, so we’ll see how that goes.’
The White Lotus season 3 premieres on HBO on February 16, and is available to stream on NOW from February 17.
