Chris Pratt Jokes He ‘Was Looking at That D–k’ During Brother-in-Law Patrick Schwarzenegger’s ‘White Lotus’ Nude Scene: ‘I’m Not Blood Related’

by · Variety

Chris Pratt is watching his brother-in-law Patrick Schwarzenegger in “The White Lotus” Season 3, which means he’s also watching his brother-in-law’s nude scenes.

“I know where my eyes went — I’m not blood related to him, I was looking at that dick, bro,” Chris joked to E! News. “No, he looks amazing. Obviously, he’s a physical specimen, but also he’s a really solid actor, because the character he’s playing is completely different than who he is.”

Pratt continued on a more serious note, “He created a character. And it feels natural and good. I’ve been telling everybody for years, I’ve been telling him as well, I really think we’re entering a decade of Patrick…I’ve been watching him, he’s just been working hard. He’s actually a hustler across the board, not just with acting but with business, and everything. He’s super driven, and I know he gets that from both his mom and his dad.”

Patrick Schwarzenegger is the brother of Katherine Schwarzenegger, who has been married to Pratt since 2019. Patrick and Katherine’s parents are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver Arnold memorably attended the premiere of “The White Lotus” Season 3 and posed for pictures on the red carpet with his son. He then took to Instagram and posted a viral reaction to his son’s nude scene.

“I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate [Patrick Schwarzenegger] at the ‘White Lotus’ Season 3 premiere,” Arnold wrote. “What a show! 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.”

 Schwarzenegger recently told The Sunday Times that he gets frustrated when people claim the only reason he got cast in “The White Lotus” Season 3 is because of his dad’s fame. Two episodes into the new season of HBO’s Emmy-winning series, Schwarzenegger is already emerging as one of the cast’s breakouts for his performance as Saxton Ratliff, the privileged son of a corporate criminal who flirts relentlessly and has no problem being naked in the same hotel room as his younger brother.

“I know there are people who’ll say I only got this role because of who my dad is,” Schwarzenegger said. “They’re not seeing that I’ve had 10 years of acting classes, put on school plays every week, worked on my characters for hours on end or the hundreds of rejected auditions I’ve been on. Of course, it’s frustrating and you can get boxed in and you think at that moment, I wish I didn’t have my last name. But that’s a small moment.

“I would never trade my life with anyone,” Schwarzenegger continued. “I’m very fortunate to have the life and family that I have, the parents I have and the lessons and values they’ve instilled in me.”

New episodes of “The White Lotus” Season 3 air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.
