HBO’s The White Lotus continues its tradition of bold and provocative content, with season 3 featuring Patrick Schwarzenegger in a daring nude scene. Playing Saxon Ratliff, the arrogant eldest son of a wealthy American family vacationing in Thailand, Schwarzenegger takes center stage in an unforgettable moment. In the season opener, his character struggles with his flirtations, then later has an awkward, humorous moment with his younger brother (played by Sam Nivola) before heading to the bathroom, where he drops his robe to reveal his backside.
Unlike past seasons, where nudity involved prosthetics for actors like Theo James and Steve Zahn, Schwarzenegger confirmed that everything shown was genuine. “Yes, that’s my real butt,” he said. “No stand-in. Once I read the script, I knew what was coming.”
Reacting to the scene, his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, humorously shared his thoughts on Instagram. “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,” he posted with a playful tone.
