Los Angeles: Arnold Schwarzenegger is embracing his dad joke phase with a playful comment about his son Patrick’s nude scene.
On Tuesday, he shared a photo with Patrick at the “White Lotus” Season 3 premiere in Hollywood.
In the caption, he addressed his son’s much-discussed nude scene in the show’s first episode.
“What a show!” Schwarzenegger wrote. “I could pretend to be surprised, but the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
The former California governor is no stranger to on-screen nudity himself, thanks to the “Terminator” franchise.
Controversial Scene
Patrick Schwarzenegger plays Saxon Ratliff, a privileged and arrogant son in a wealthy Southern family.
In the first episode, Saxon has an awkward conversation with his brother, played by Sam Nivola.
He then walks completely naked to the bathroom, leaving nothing to the imagination.
The scene quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the new season.
Fans and critics alike have reacted strongly to Patrick’s bold performance.
Family Reaction
Before the premiere, Patrick admitted feeling slightly nervous about his family watching the show.
“My whole family is coming tonight, so we’ll see how that goes,” he said at a press event.
He hinted at later scenes that might make family viewings uncomfortable.
Patrick joked about “taking some bathroom breaks” during certain moments.
His remarks suggested even he finds some scenes too awkward to watch with family.
