Arnold Schwarzenegger defends viral reaction to son’s White Lotus scene - That’s my boy, not a big deal

Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about his son Patrick’s nude scene in the show The White Lotus. People online called him “creepy” and “weird” for mentioning his son’s “weenie.” Arnold went on Late Night with Seth Meyers and defended himself, saying it’s “not a big deal”, as per the reports.

What happened on the Talk show

During the show, Meyers brought up a clip from Arnold and Patrick’s Variety, Actors on Actors interview. In that interview, Arnold joked about seeing his son’s “butt” and then his “weenie” on-screen. Patrick laughed, but looked surprised. Later, he posted on X, “Who the heck says weenie?”, according to the report by Page Six.

Arnold replied on TV, “Well I do,” and said people used that word back in the 1970s. He laughed and said, “Maybe they call it something else now?” Meyers told him the word “still works.”


Arnold said he was shocked at first when watching the scene. He then remembered he had also done nude scenes in movies like Conan and Terminator. He joked that Patrick was “following in his footsteps”, as per the report by Variety.

Some people on social media called Arnold’s comments “inappropriate.” But others said he was just being a normal dad and didn’t mean anything weird, as per the report by Page Six.

Arnold joked earlier in February that he wasn’t surprised about the nude scene, saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Patrick reacted on X just by writing “Parents” and added facepalm emojis.
