Patrick Schwarzenegger<\/a> claims that being “a man of faith” has helped him come through the challenges of building an acting career.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Patrick Schwarzenegger prays on a daily basis<\/p>\n

The White Lotus star believes that prayer has been pivotal for him as he stressed that he is on Earth for a “greater purpose” than just his profession.<\/p>\n

Patrick, the son of Terminator legend Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a> and journalist Maria Shriver, told Variety at the Sundance Film Festival: “I\u2019m here on this earth for a greater purpose and greater meaning than just working in acting.<\/p>\n

“The film industry is a rollercoaster. I\u2019ve seen it firsthand with my own family members, with friends. What\u2019s really important is that as you go up, down, whichever way you go, your faith is still there.”<\/p>\n

Patrick revealed that he and his wife, model Abby Champion, pray together on a daily basis and he thinks it is something that is genuinely helpful.<\/p>\n

\nThe 32-year-old actor said: “My prayers are something that helped me each and every day in my life. It\u2019s something that helps me and my wife. We do it together. I think there was some crazy stat of husband and wives that pray together have a 67 per cent less likely to get divorced or separated. I don\u2019t want to be the person that\u2019s telling everyone to go and pray every day and everything will be okay, but it\u2019s something that is a centre point for my faith and gratitude\u2026 It\u2019s a refreshing moment for me in my day.”<\/p>\n

\nPatrick played the sex-crazed Saxon Ratliff in the third season of The White Lotus last year and confessed that he felt frustrated that some assumed that he only got the part because of his family connections.<\/p>\n

\nHe told The Sunday Times newspaper: “I know there are people who’ll say I only got this role because of who my dad is.<\/p>\n

\n“They’re not seeing that I’ve had 10 years of acting classes, put on (high) school plays every week, worked on my characters for hours on end or the hundreds of rejected auditions I’ve been on.”<\/p>\n

\nPatrick continued: “Of course, it’s frustrating and you can get boxed in and you think at that moment, I wish I didn’t have my last name. But, that’s a small moment.<\/p>\n

\n“I would never trade my life with anyone. I’m very fortunate to have the life and family that I have, the parents I have and the lessons and values they’ve instilled in me.”<\/p>\n
