Arnold Schwarzenegger just got the shock of his life—and no, it wasn’t another Terminator reboot. His son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, made headlines this week for his jaw-dropping (and somewhat jaw-clenching) storyline in the third season of HBO’s scandalous dramedy, The White Lotus.
The 31-year-old actor plays Saxon Ratliff, a character who, let’s just say, made some questionable life choices on a yacht. Specifically, Saxon and his little brother Lochlan (played by Sam Nivola) apparently had a “whoops, that was my sibling” moment that has sent viewers into full-blown emotional distress.
Naturally, the internet exploded faster than a protein shake in an unsealed blender. And now, it looks like Arnold himself has chimed in with a reaction.
Arnold’s Response: The Ultimate “What Did I Just See?” Moment
Patrick, being the absolute menace that he is, posted a behind-the-scenes pic from the day they filmed the yacht of horrors scene. In the photo, both he and Sam look dazed and confused—which, given the plot, makes complete sense.
And then came Arnold’s iconic response. The action legend, former governor, and father of the year (probably re-evaluating that title right now) hit the internet with a GIF of himself looking absolutely shooketh. Picture the ultimate double take moment—like he just spotted someone putting ketchup on pasta.
We can’t confirm what was going through Arnold’s head at that moment, but we can take a wild guess:
1. “I did NOT raise my son for this.”
2. “I need a protein shake immediately.”
3. “What happened to just blowing things up in movies? Why is TV like this now?”
One thing’s for sure—Schwarzenegger Sr. has seen a lot in his lifetime, but even he wasn’t prepared for the White Lotus Yacht of Yikes.
Will he ever recover? Will Patrick be invited to the next family dinner? And most importantly—WHO APPROVED THIS SCRIPT?!
Stay tuned, because this saga might just be wilder than anything Arnold’s ever faced—and that includes fighting a Predator.
