Arnold Schwarzenegger's Son Sparks Buzz While Attending 'The White Lotus' Premiere with Famous Parents

The young actor made a striking appearance at the premiere of his new show, walking the red carpet alongside his parents and catching the attention of several online users.

On Monday, February 10, Patrick Schwarzenegger attended the highly anticipated "The White Lotus" season three premiere in Los Angeles. The event saw the 31-year-old actor celebrating his role in the series while accompanied by his well-known parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.

Patrick's presence quickly caused a buzz because of his good looks, the show's immense popularity, and his family's Hollywood legacy.

The actor confessed to People earlier this month that he initially kept the news of his casting a secret from even his closest loved ones. Despite being longtime fans of the HBO series, his family had no idea he had even auditioned.

While watching the first two seasons, his mom kept asking why Patrick hadn't tried out for the show, particularly when Theo James or Jake Lacy were on screen.

Encouraged by his mother and sister, Katherine Schwarzenegger, Patrick finally pursued an opportunity when it arrived. While returning from a trip to Milan, he memorized his lines on the flight, determined to be one of the first actors to submit a tape.

Surprisingly, he received a response the day they filmed his audition. "It was within a couple of hours, they were like, 'This is exactly what we're looking for,'" he recalled.

However, he still had to wait for months to learn that he had secured a callback, and eventually, he attended a chemistry read with creator Mike White.

The secrecy didn't end there. Even after receiving confirmation that he had landed the role, Patrick kept the news limited to a small circle, which included his fiancée, Abby Champion, as they'd just gotten engaged.

When he finally revealed the big news to his family, emotions ran high. "My mom started bursting out, crying. Then my sister started crying, and then I started crying, and then Abby started. It was like a domino effect of mayhem and tears," he revealed.

Despite his excitement about joining the famous series, Patrick acknowledged the weight of audience expectations. "You feel some pressure [because] the first two seasons were so great," he admitted. But he trusts White's vision.

Regardless of his anxieties, the premiere arrived, and fans quickly reacted to Patrick's red carpet appearance. Some marveled at his resemblance to Maria Shriver, with one user commenting, "mom's twin [sic]."

Another fan admired his good looks, "Gorgeous guy 🔥🤩❤️‍🔥." Meanwhile, one netizen enthusiastically compared him to another famous actor, "Moreover Henry Cavil, there's a new white stud in town 🥵."

However, not everyone was entirely impressed, as one person remarked, "He's gorgeous but boring suit as always 🕴️😴🐑."

While this isn't Patrick's acting debut, it's certainly his most famous part yet. "The White Lotus" season three is set to premiere on Sunday, February 16, at 9 p.m. E.T. on Max.
