Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son bares all on The White Lotus this season… and Arnold is one proud papa.

Patrick Schwarzenegger, the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, plays entitled rich kid Saxon in Season 3 of HBO’s luxury vacation dramedy (debuting this Sunday at 9/8c), and after the show’s L.A. premiere on Tuesday, Arnold spilled the beans that Patrick has a nude scene in the first episode. He was impressed, too.

“I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate [Patrick] at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere,” Arnold wrote in an Instagram post. “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.” (Arnold might be referring to his own nude scene in the 1984 sci-fi classic The Terminator, where his cyborg character travels back in time, arriving completely naked.)

Also in the cast: Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood as couple Rick and Chelsea; Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan and Leslie Bibb as gal pals Laurie, Jaclyn and Kate; and Lalisa Manobal and Tayme Thapthimthong as hotel staffers Mook and Gaitok. Plus, Natasha Rothwell reprises her Season 1 role as spa manager Belinda.
