Patrick Schwarzenegger opens up about embracing his legacy and overcoming the 'nepo baby' tag in chat with dad Arnold Schwarzenegger
Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold, discussed his Hollywood journey with his father, embracing his legacy and handling the 'nepo baby' label. Arnold praised Patrick for owning the Schwarzenegger name and carving his own path, comparing him to Jamie Lee Curtis. Patrick highlighted his upbringing and his parents' emphasis on hard work. For star kids, carrying a famous surname can feel like both a gift and a challenge. Patrick Schwarzenegger , son of legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger , knows this firsthand. Rather than shy away from it, Patrick has chosen to embrace his legacy—something his father is truly proud of. In a heartfelt chat for Variety's Actors on Actors series, 31-year-old Patrick sat down with Arnold, 77, to discuss his Hollywood journey, handling the 'nepo baby' label, and why owning the Schwarzenegger name was a decision he made on his own terms. Patrick admitted that earlier in his career, he sometimes wondered if it would be better to use a different name instead of his own. He shared that it took time to stop worrying about living in his father's shadow and focus instead on carving his own path in his own way. Arnold praised Patrick for keeping the Schwarzenegger name, joking that now he could take credit for his son's success. He compared Patrick to Jamie Lee Curtis—another star who overcame nepotism as the daughter of actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh—saying that with genuine talent, the nepotism label can be erased. Patrick, who appears in the third season of The White Lotus, also reflected on his upbringing and the values his parents instilled in him. He acknowledged the hard work his parents put in to provide him with opportunities and emphasized how their biggest advice—to work hard—has guided him throughout his career. During their conversation, Arnold also praised Patrick for never asking him to leverage his influence or connections to secure acting roles. Arnold also noted that Patrick never sought his advice on acting, calling him a rare breed and expressing how proud he is of him. Patrick later described the interview as an 'incredible opportunity' in an Instagram post, admitting he felt nervous beforehand. He appreciated the rare chance to have an hour-long, uninterrupted conversation without phones or a moderator. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, who divorced in 2011 after 25 years of marriage, have four children together: Katherine (35), Christina (33), Patrick (31), and Christopher (27). Arnold is also the father of Joseph Baena (27), whose mother is Mildred Patricia Baena, the family's longtime housekeeper.

Currently, episodes lasting one minute are released once a month. The short teaser shows that Tom and Jerry Gokko are more than just adorable. Numerous references to vintage Tom and Jerry episodes can also be found during the anime series. Among them are the scenes where Tom chases Jerry through a mouse hole and comes out looking different, and the one where Jerry eats a huge piece of cheese and his entire body changes form. The dynamic between the two also somewhat appears in the anime series.
