Arnold and Patrick Schwarzenegger discuss The White Lotus and nude roles

        Youtube.com/@variety
    
The most recent season of Mike White’s The White Lotus gave us everything from Jason Isaac’s penis to an incest storyline involving Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Saxon Ratliff and his on-screen brother, Lochlan, played by Sam Nivola.
In a recent interview with Variety, Patrick’s dad, the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, had some thoughts on his son’s nudity that is raising eyebrows across the internet, to say the least.

From Ilene the Alien and Aja cutting up in the Werk Room, to Nicole Paige Brooks existing, the entertainment value is through the roof. But perhaps no queen is more responsible for providing gag-worthy moments, so far, than Mistress Isabelle Brooks who is always up to some kind of shenanigans.
