Maria Shriver has a much more appropriate response about her son’s nude scene in The White Lotus. Patrick Schwarzenegger’s The White Lotus character, Saxon Ratliff, one of the biggest roles of his career so far, has garnered significant attention, especially for his full-frontal nude scene.
In addition to the audience, his family members, including Chris Pratt and Arnold Schwarzenegger, have also shared their reactions. However, while their reactions leaned toward the awkward side, his mother’s response stood out as more composed and arguably more appropriate.
How did Maria Shriver react to Patrick Schwarzenegger’s nude scene in The White Lotus?
Patrick Schwarzenegger has recently been in conversation for starring in the hit HBO series, The White Lotus. The actor plays the role of Saxon Ratliff, the self-absorbed eldest son of Timothy (Jason Isaacs) and Victoria Ratliff (Parker Posey).
And the character has already unsettled the audience with his creepy incestual vibes and insufferable attitude. However, his family is thrilled about Schwarzenegger starring in the Emmy-winning series.
The Gen V actor’s father Arnold Schwarzenegger previously boasted about his son’s nude scene in the series. And Chris Pratt, who is married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, recently offered his candid take on the scene.
However, while their reactions came across as a bit awkward due to the nature of the scene, Maria Shriver had a different reaction. “My kids were like, ‘Did you see that?’ And I was like, ‘No. What?’” the author told People when asked about her son’s nude scene in the show.
She also shared that she did not pay attention to anything other than his face. “So that shows you — a mother’s eyes are always on the kids’ eyes,” Shriver, who shares four children with ex-husband Arnold Schwarzenegger, further stated.
Maria Shriver highlighted her son’s dedication to his craft as an actor
While Patrick Schwarzenegger’s family is in high spirits about him starring in The White Lotus, his casting in the series has reignited the debate over nepotism in the industry, due to his influential familial background.
The actor has fired back at online discussions and claims that his last name was significant in landing the role, calling them “frustrating” and taking the credit for his own accomplishments.
And his mother, Maria Shriver, also supported her son, as she highlighted his dedication to his craft. “I was so happy for him because he’s worked so hard,” she told People, explaining,
He takes classes, he’s really been grinding at it for more than a decade, and he wanted to work his way up — and he’s done it his way — I think it’s a great moment for him, and I’m super happy for him.
“It actually makes me cry. I’m so happy for him,” she further stated before emphasizing that her son is well aware of the challenges that await him in an acting career and his future roles.
Before taking on his role in The White Lotus, Patrick Schwarzenegger starred in several movies and shows, including The Benchwarmers, Grown Ups 2, Moxie, Midnight Sun, Gen V, and American Sports Story.
The White Lotus is available to watch on Max.
