Son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, Patrick Schwarzenegger responded to comments after being cast in the third season of “The White Lotus.” The allegations suggest he got the role because of his parents’ fame.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Patrick Schwarzenegger refuted accusations of nepotism after being cast in the HBO series “The White Lotus.” Patrick is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.
The two married in 1986 and had four children, including Patrick. Arnold rose to fame in Hollywood after starring in movies like “The Terminator” and “Predator.” Shriver is a bestselling author and former news anchor.
Patrick said in the Sunday Times on Sunday (23) that people who criticize his success don’t know that he “took 10 years of acting classes” and was rejected hundreds of times in auditions.
“Of course, it’s frustrating, and you can end up being labeled. Sometimes you think, ‘I wish I didn’t have this last name.’ But that’s just a passing moment. I would never trade my life with anyone,” said Patrick Schwarzenegger.
“I’m very lucky to have the life and family I have, the parents I have, and the values and lessons they taught me,” he added.
The actor has already had notable roles in “Scream Queens,” “The Staircase,” and “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez.” In “The White Lotus,” Patrick plays Saxon Ratliff, the son of a millionaire businessman who is on vacation with his family.
