Patrick Schwarzenegger Dishes on That Wild White Lotus Smooch—And What It Means for His Confused, Possibly Traumatized Character

Buy Me A Coffee

Patrick Schwarzenegger is here to break down the kiss that had everyone at home doing a double take and wondering if they accidentally switched over to a telenovela.

🚨 Spoiler alert! If you haven’t seen episode five of The White Lotus season 3, stop reading and go reevaluate your life choices. 🚨

So, here’s what went down: After the Full Moon Party (which, let’s be honest, already sounds like the setting for some regrettable decisions), Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon), Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood), and brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola) decide to continue their night of questionable choices on Greg’s yacht. Because what better place to stir up drama than a billionaire’s floating mansion?

At some point in the chaotic game of ‘Who Can Make This Night Weirder,’ Saxon casually tells the ladies to kiss. They oblige, but then, like a karmic boomerang, the challenge gets thrown back at him and his brother. And boy, does Lochlan commit.

While Saxon goes in for the world’s most noncommittal, “let’s just get this over with” peck, Lochlan decides it’s time to rewrite the script with a much longer, much more intense kiss—leaving Saxon blinking in confusion, rethinking his life choices, and possibly questioning reality itself.

Patrick Weighs In: The Kiss That Broke His Brain
Patrick Schwarzenegger, ever the philosopher, declared this moment the beginning of Saxon’s unhinged downward spiral.

“This is where everything starts to unravel,” he ominously told reporters, as if his character wasn’t already two espresso martinis away from a full-blown existential crisis.

And the mastermind behind all this madness? The White Lotus creator Mike White, who apparently wants audiences to squint at their screens and scream, “What does it MEAN?!”

Patrick explained, “Mike loves to keep people guessing. Like, was it a power move? Is Lochlan asserting dominance? Did the drugs kick in at the exact wrong (or right?) moment? Were the girls just playing social experiment scientists? WHO KNOWS?! He literally wants the audience to spiral as much as Saxon does.”

What’s Next for Saxon? (Hint: Probably Therapy)
According to Patrick, Saxon’s journey through The White Lotus can be summed up as: Walk in as one person, leave as a completely different, slightly broken human.

“One of the biggest themes of the show is that no one leaves The White Lotus the same,” Patrick said. “You think you have everything figured out, and then BAM!—your entire sense of self crumbles faster than a cheap biscotti.”

He added, “Saxon strolls into this resort like he’s got life mastered—confident, untouchable, and completely sure of who he is. And then, by the time he leaves? Oh, buddy. Let’s just say things get messy.

Translation? Strap in, because Saxon is about to go on a full-blown identity crisis speed-run. And honestly? We can’t wait to watch.
