Patrick Schwarzenegger shades his dad

[Anonymous]

Damn, he is great in White Lotus. Incredible actor, somehow super likable even though he plays a douchey character, and physically gorgeous and magnetic. I will watch him in anything.

Interesting that he makes no bones about the fact that he owes much more to his mom than his dad, who he says basically valued career and money over family and relationships. I'm sure it was painful for him to go through his parents' divorce in the wake of his dad's affair with the nanny that produced a half-brother. And yet - he manages to shade his dad in a pretty classy way.

Maybe, maybe not. But I had no idea who he was when I began watching this season of White Lotus. From episode one he was my favorite character, and he is an excellent actor. Kid has chops.

Both he and his mom come from Kennedy wealth and entitlement. To quote Lisa Barlow, they get presents just for breathing. Arnold had to prove his worth his entire life. I have very little respect for Kennedys.

This. Arnold is a self-made person who has to be ambitious in order to survive. Patrick has the extreme privilege doing whatever he wants and still living in luxury. Of course they'll have different outlooks. But one hopes that father and son would be able to empathize with each other.

You mean his wife’s family, not his wife. You’re also forgetting decades of work and success before that.

Yeah, I'm coming down pretty hard on Arnold's side. He came to a new country with nothing and a heavy accent. He made something of himself. Maria wouldn't have given him a second look had he not already made it. I don't condone the Nanny Affair, at all. But I have zero respect for a beyond privileged kid throwing any shade at his dad who had to work a zillion times harder than the son--who has had it all handed to him.

Patrick would have had a different life without his career and money.

Yep. He isn't that talented or good looking. He would be a nobody if not for his dad and Kennedy connection.

So he should worship his dad? He is entitled to his opinions and feelings about his father. You can be extremely successful and be a shitty parent. They are not mutually exclusive.

I get it. But I look down on an entitled kid who throws shade at someone who had to work far (beyond measure) harder than him to succeed. If he has a problem with his dad, take it to therapy.
