Yahoo Lifestyle Does Patrick Schwarzenegger Go Full-Frontal in 'The White Lotus' Season 3?
In the final, awkward minutes of The White Lotus Season 3 premiere, Patrick Schwarzenegger—in character as arrogant rich boy Saxon (this season's Jake Lacy or Theo James)—goes full-frontal. But does he really get naked for the role?
The actor hasn't commented on whether or not he flashes his real penis or a prosthetic in the scene, but either way, he's admitted to being nervous about sitting through the episode with his parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.

"There are some uncomfortable conversations between us in the bed that are a little weird to show in front of your family," he said at a recent press roundtable, referring to the final scene in the premiere between Saxon and his little brother, Lachlan (Sam Nivola). The two boys are part of the wealthy Ratliff family, which includes their more enlightened sister, Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook), and parents Timothy (Jason Isaacs) and Victoria (Parker Posey).

"Buddhism is for people that want to suppress in life," Saxon tells his brother in bed. "...But it is good to want things," he adds. "As long as you can get them. Getting what your want in life: That’s happiness, bro." As for what Lachlan should want, Saxon tells him, "P---y, money, freedom, respect."
Then he proceeds to ask his brother what kind of porn he likes and heads to the bathroom—butt naked—to partake in some himself.
Schwarzenegger hints that there are more nude scenes (or at least uncomfortable ones) to come this season. "Episodes 5 and 6, there will be some times that I take some bathroom breaks from the family, or maybe I won't watch that episode," he told press.
Meantime, his real-life father seems unfazed by his son's disrobing. "What a show!" he wrote on Instagram after attending the premiere. "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."
The White Lotus airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.
