Patrick Schwarzenegger admits that he's far too nerve-wracked to watch the rest of the wild third season of "The White Lotus" with family members.
"During a recent appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' Schwarzenegger... said he will watch the last two episodes of Season 3 without his famous parents," Variety reported, "fearing what they might think seeing him in the final moments of the show's most risqué edition to date."
Barrymore cued up a video of Maria Shriver – Patrick's mother – in which she posed "some surprise rapid fire questions" for the actor to answer, including, "What episode of 'White Lotus' are you most nervous for me to watch?"
Added Shriver: "You keep saying, 'That's not me, that's a prosthetic.'"
Patrick Schwarzenegger got his clothes off for the camera in the season's first episode, in which his character, horny finance bro Saxon Ratliff, strolled naked to the bathroom, laptop in hand, for a wank session while Saxon's younger brother, Lochlan (played by Sam Nivola), watched in rapt fascination.
It's hard to imagine that the 31-year-old star, who is also the son of famed actor and muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger, could have more to be nervous about after the show's most recent episode, in which Saxon participated in a three-way that involved Lochlan.
But the show is about to get even more off the rails, given Patrick's response that while "It was a little nerve-wracking watching the first episode with my whole family because I do take some clothes off," he's "going to watch [the rest of the season] without them."
"The next episodes, they're crazy," he said.
