Patrick Schwarzenegger might have something in common with his White Lotus character Saxon Rattliff — his dance moves.
The actor, 31, shared a video of himself dancing in the crowd at Coachella via his Instagram Story on Friday, April 12. “Excuse my dancing I had a cocktail,” Schwarzenegger, son of famed actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, wrote over the video. The White Lotus star was in attendance to support his fellow costar Lisa (real name Lalisa Manobal) while she performed on stage.
“@lalalisa_m crushed it,” Schwarzenegger wrote, tagging his costar.
In addition to taking in all that Coachella 2025 has to offer, Schwarzenegger has appeared to enjoy the success of the HBO Max drama’s third season, even when others have had their, somewhat mixed own reactions. In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, April 10, Schwarzenegger told the host what happened when his fiancée Charlotte Le Bon finally saw his brotherly incest scene with Sam Nivola.
“My fiancée was nagging me nonstop when I booked the role,” Schwarzenegger said on The Tonight Show. “She was like, ‘You gotta tell me who dies.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m not telling you who dies. Like, I signed my life away. Mike [White, The White Lotus creator] will fire me.’”
“And she was like, ‘OK, fine. Just tell me, do you hook up with people?’ And I was like, ‘Baby, you know The White Lotus. I can’t tell you this information,’” Schwarzenegger continued. “She was like, ‘Just tell me, do you get with people?’ and I said, ‘Yes, I do.’ And she was like, ‘Who? Which girls do you get with?’ I was like, I can’t tell you.”
When it came time for that scene in episodes 5 and 6, he added, Le Bon was just as shocked as the rest of us. “And then episode 5 comes out, and 6, and she’s like, ‘You got with your brother?’” Schwarzenegger said, which caused host Jimmy Fallon to break out into laughter.
In March, Le Bon, 38, told Vulture of the exchange between the brothers, “Well, obviously they’re not brothers by blood, so that made it easier.”
“I think for Patrick it was really difficult,” she also said. “For Sam, he was kind of like, ‘It’s whatever, let’s just do it well one time and it will be over.’ Because if you don’t do it well the first time, then you have to do it over and over again.”
Schwarzenegger’s mother Shriver has also made it clear that her son does not have a lot in common with his character. “Patrick is not like Saxton. I just want to clear that up ‘cause people say, ‘Is Patrick like Saxton?’” she said on the April 1 episode of Today. “I’m like, ‘Do you think I would’ve raised a Saxton?’”
Shriver also shared how happy she is for her son in the wake of his The White Lotus success. “He’s worked so hard. He’s taken acting classes. He gets rejected a lot, and this is finally the role of his life and he’s having a great time with it,” she said. “And everybody wants to talk to me about it, so I’m so happy for him.”
