Of course, it\u2019s frustrating and you can get boxed in and you think at that moment, I wish I didn\u2019t have my last name. <\/p>\n<p>However, Patrick would ultimately not wish to change places with anyone and feels &#8220;very fortunate&#8221; to have the life he does.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;But that\u2019s a small moment. I would never trade my life with anyone. I\u2019m very fortunate to have the life and family that I have, the parents I have and the lessons and values they\u2019ve instilled in me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe &#8216;Stowaway&#8217; star is still close with his family and noted that his father &#8211; who was born in Austria before making the move to the United States as his career took off &#8211; &#8220;worked so hard&#8221; to get into the country that neither of them would ever think about leaving. <\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I hang with my family all the time. I live within a few minutes of my dad.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My dad worked so hard to get to this country and would never leave and neither would I. I love this country more than anything and have friends here who are immigrants from all over the world. I will always remain optimistic about our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/patrick-schwarzenegger-admits-sometimes-wishes-different-last-name-1414168.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 February 2025 Patrick Schwarzenegger sometimes wishes he had a different last name.
