Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares Reaction to His Son Patrick Schwarzenegger’s “White Lotus” Nude Scene

Arnold Schwarzenegger is proving he will always be a proud dad.

The Terminator star, 77, attended the season 3 premiere of The White Lotus on Monday, Feb. 10 to support his son Patrick Schwarzenegger’s role in the hit show. He later shared a photo of them on the red carpet with a sweet message to his son.

“I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate @patrickschwarzenegger at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere,” the caption read.

The former California governor went on to poke fun at one particularly revealing moment in the upcoming season: “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.”

Patrick’s entire family showed up to support him at the premiere — including mother Maria Shriver and brother-in-law Chris Pratt, who is married to his sister Katherine Schwarzenegger, along with his other siblings and fiancée Abby Champion.

Earlier this month, Patrick, 31, opened up to PEOPLE for February's digital cover about how Shriver was the one to convince him to try out for The White Lotus after becoming a fan of the show.

“Every time we would watch the show, season 1 and season 2, every time Theo James would come up or in the first season, Jake Lacey… my mom was always like, ‘Why haven't you auditioned for this? Why didn't you go out for this?’ And my sister's like, ‘You need to call your agents right now. This is ridiculous that you're not in on the show, that you didn't even audition,'" he recalled.

When he received an offer to audition, Patrick kept it to himself, doubting he’d even get a callback — but that waiting period was difficult, he said.

“I could not enjoy the holidays. I had so much anxiety, I was freaking out over it,” he shared, noting that his family probably noticed that he was acting strange. “I was in Idaho with my dad and we go skiing every morning, and the audition was at 9 a.m. … and I was like, ‘Hey, I'm not going to go skiing today.’ And he was like, ‘Why?’ I was like, ‘I've got to do this audition thing, so just whatever, you guys go and just… No one call me.’”

“I texted all my family, ‘Do not call me today, don't text me, don't do anything,’” he added.

After getting the callback and doing a chemistry read, Patrick said he got a message from Mike White telling him he got the role: “I started crying and it was the greatest day in history for me."

It was then time to share the news with his family, which he said was very special.

“Obviously I'm going to tell my fiancée because we got engaged the week before and I was like, ‘Sorry, I'm leaving for seven months [to film].’ So that was perfect timing,” he laughed. “Then I went and had lunch with my whole family the week later, and I told them and my mom started bursting out, crying. Then my sister started crying, and then I started crying, and then Abby started."

He continued: "It was like a domino effect of mayhem and tears.”
