Patrick Schwarzenegger<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s critically acclaimed role in The White Lotus<\/em> has him being heralded as one of Hollywood\u2019s most handsome talents \u2013 but he\u2019s got zero interest in going the muscle man route like his famous father Arnold.<\/span><\/p>\n With Patrick, 31, bearing it all in season 3 of the Mike White<\/strong>-led show, a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>, \u201cIt\u2019s pretty hilarious that Patrick is getting famous for taking his clothes off the same way his dad did fifty years ago, but he has such a radically different physique and look than his father.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Action movie hero Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/strong>, 77, rose to fame flexing for a fee in the super-competitive world of professional bodybuilding and to this day is largely considered the best of the best, even though he officially retired from the sport in 1980 to pursue acting, and then politics, full time.<\/span><\/p>\n The former Governor of California\u2019s son, whom he shares with Maria Shriver<\/strong>, isn\u2019t quite the mountain of a man Arnie was in his prime, but is instead going for something of a toned-down build<\/a> for the cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFor better or worse, The White Lotus<\/em> has turned him into a Gen Z sex symbol and people can\u2019t stop talking about the sexy vibe he\u2019s putting off on this show,\u201d the source explains. \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful that Patrick is going in a different, lighter, more romantic direction<\/a> with his screen persona, and that\u2019s exactly why it\u2019s going to work. The kid has been plugging away for ten years now and The White Lotus<\/em> has finally put him on the map in a major way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Though, the insider notes Arnold\u2019s other son, Joseph Baena<\/strong>, whom he shares with his former housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena<\/strong>, is a fitness influencer who strikes a startling resemblance to his dad. He regularly posts his workouts and poses and is what most would expect Arnold\u2019s kid would look like.<\/span><\/p>\n The fact that Patrick wants very little do to with the bodybuilding lifestyle is \u201ccrazy\u201d according to the source, who says, \u201cnot only does Patrick have a half-brother who is fully going down the Arnold road of becoming a giant muscle man, he also has been personally mentored by his ultra-macho brother-in-law Chris Pratt<\/strong><\/a>, who loves looking buff on camera in his many action roles.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> star, 45, underwent a significant transformation from his pudgy Parks and Recreation<\/em> character to the Marvel hero. When Entertainment Tonight<\/em> asked him about seeing Patrick in The White Lotus<\/em>, he responded, \u201cI did not know I was gonna be seeing him fully nude in that way \u2026 I love White Lotus<\/em>. I was a fan of White Lotus<\/em> before, so when he got it, everyone was super pumped for him,\u201d and added, \u201cHey, he looks good, you know what I mean? I was like, rock it, bro.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Nudity isn\u2019t a problem for Patrick, who is focused on his career above all else. \u201cYes, he had to bear his naked body to do it, but it still has to feel good to finally get the recognition he has been seeking for years,\u201d the insider says.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
