Patrick Schwarzenegger breaks silence on full-frontal nude scene in The White Lotus Season 3

Patrick Schwarzenegger has broken his silence after taking his kit off in the Season 3 premiere of The White Lotus.

The White Lotus Season 3 premiered on screens on Monday and, in line with previous seasons, it doesn’t take long for one of its stars to go full frontal.

In Season 1, viewers saw Steve Zahn’s character, Mark Mossbacher, reveal his swollen testicles, and in Season 2 Theo James’ character Cameron Babcock wore a prosthetic penis for a nude bathroom scene.

Season 3 follows suit with Patrick Schwarzenegger – yes, Arnold’s son – taking one for the team as he goes stark naked on the very first episode playing sex-obsessed rich kid Saxon Ratliff.

“He is just like, ‘p***y, money, and freedom.’ Those are the things. That’s all that matters in life,” Patrick, 31, crudely told Vanity Fair. “And that’s a set-up of what’s to come: when you don’t have those things, what does it do to you?”

Season 3 – airing now on BINGE – is set at a swanky resort in Thailand where Saxon is holidays with his family and is hellbent on getting his younger brother Lochlan (Sam Nivola) laid during their vacation, all while their wealthy father Timothy (Jason Isaacs) is being investigated for fraud and embezzlement.

Oblivious to their father’s financial woes, Saxon’s only goal is for him and his brother to sleep and party their way around the resort.

“You’re smart and good-looking,” Saxon tells Lochlan in their shared bedroom as he lay naked under the covers.

“We need to buff you up, but you’ve got so much ammo … Get laid, get everything. I’m gonna help you.”

Saxon then opens his iPad and begins scrolling through a porn site.

“So, what kind of porn you like? Hot teacher?” he asks Lochlan. “Real question is how the f**k am I gonna jerk off with you in here all week? I’ll just go to the bathroom.”

He then gets up to reveal his bare butt as he walks to the bathroom, where his completely exposed penis makes an appearance in the mirror for all the viewers to see.

Reflecting on the nude scene with Vanity Fair, Patrick said, “[Saxon] walks around just naked – it’s like a power shift and a power dynamic between the two [brothers]. And I remember reading that and just being like, ‘What?’”

The actor admits that the risqué scene had him worried about what his famous parents would think – his mother is journalist Maria Shriver, who is part of the prominent Kennedy family in the US. But his father – the only and only Terminator star himself – gave Patrick the stamp of approval.

“What a show!” the actor and former Governor of California wrote on Instagram last week ahead of The White Lotus’ February 17 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.”
