Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Instagram Tuesday to tout his son Patrick’s upcoming stint on HBO-Max’s The White Lotus – including a ‘nude scene’ he appeared to be proud of.
‘I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate @patrickschwarzenegger at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere,’ The Terminator star, 77, told his 26 million followers on the social media platform.
Arnold added, ‘What a show! I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Don’t miss it this Sunday – trust me.’
The Austria-born star shared a shot as he grasped his son’s hand on the red carpet at Monday’s Los Angeles premiere of the popular series at The Paramount Theatre.
Arnold is father to five children: daughters Katherine, 35, and Christina, 31, and sons Patrick, 31, and Christopher, 27, with ex-wife Maria Shriver; and son Joseph Baena, 27, with former housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena, 63.
The Total Recall star and Shriver divorced in 2011 after a 25-year marital union amid news of his past infidelity with Baena going public shortly after he left office.
