Jason Isaacs 'Didn't Expect' Patrick Schwarzenegger 'To Be Nice' Because of His Famous Parents
Jason Isaacs appeared on the latest edition of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware
During his appearance, he talked about The White Lotus
He candidly opened up about his connection to his costars, including Patrick SchwarzeneggerJason Isaacs' idea of what his The White Lotus costar Patrick Schwarzenegger would be like was instantly proven wrong.
Isaacs, 61, appeared on the latest edition of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware, during which he discussed his fellow actor, 31, who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the former California governor's ex, Maria Shriver.
"You know who I charmed up with? It's my kids. Patrick [Schwarzenegger], Sam [Nivola], Sarah Catherine [Hook], became like my kids, you know, by proxy, and I fell madly in love with them. We text each other all the time," Isaacs said of the actors who played his onscreen children.
The three are what Isaacs, who played Timothy Ratliff in the show, calls "gorgeous people."
"I didn't expect Patrick to be nice because he's the son of a famous movie star, and he's such a fabulous, grounded person. And all three of them," said Isaacs, who noted that he also became friends with Christian Friedel and Jon Gries.
Patrick joined season 3 of The White Lotus as Saxson Ratliff, the eldest child of Timothy and Victoria (Parker Posey), who works for his father's company.
"To work with [series creator] Mike White and just to be part of this project was a dream come true," he told E! News in November 2024. "It was surreal, it was life-changing to learn amongst the other actors."
When Patrick was first announced as part of the cast for season 3, his mother, 69, couldn't help but share her excitement on Instagram, noting that "all that hard work and determination is really paying off.'
'I can't wait to visit you on set ( am I allowed to visit you on set?) and can't wait to get all the spoilers from you (you will tell me, right? I am your mother after all!) Wow, wow, wow! See you at the White Lotus! 🪷 #proudmomalert," added Shriver in her sweet message.
In February, Patrick shared with PEOPLE that he caught the acting bug from his father, 77, after visiting him on set.
"That's where my first love for acting came from,' said Patrick. 'He would always pull me out of school early. I would get to go to Universal Studios—I'd watch him go in as Dad, come out as Mr. Freeze. I would sit there all day and just be fascinated with everything about film.'

New Yawkas have the most confident US accents — think this Joe Pesci line
Do I amuse you? The Big Apple boasts the most confident sounding accents in the US, a recent study found. The unique tone, marked by dropped 'R's, shifted vowels (like coffee becoming 'caw-fee') and tough talk — often thought of as a specific Brooklyn or Bronx sound, is particularly associated with working-class, multi-generational New Yawkas. 5 Actor Joe Pesci's had roles with memorable New York accents. Getty Images Think Joe Pesci's 'Funny how' in 'Goodfellas' and Chazz Palminteri's iconic 'Now youse can't leave' in 'A Bronx Tale' — or anything Fran Drescher. 'There's a rhythm to it that cuts through small talk and its placement and resonance tends to sit further forward giving it a brighter sound — which tends to resonate louder in most spaces,' voice coach Molly Parker told The Post. 5 Fran Drescher's New York accent is part of her brand. Ron Adar/Shutterstock The distinctive New Yawk City sound, Parker said, is attributed to its quick and punchy flow and unfiltered nature — traits in the accent's musicality associated with confidence and assertiveness. Brooklyn-born stand-up comedian Elyse DeLucci calls it passionate. 'I think it's the force with which the words come out of the mouth,' DeLucci tells The Post. 'New Yorkers, we speak almost from our diaphragm. It's very confident sounding. You know, we walk into the store and we're like, 'How you doing?' You walk in like you own the joint.' DeLucci, who hosts a podcast called 'New York Tawk,' described her accent as 'nasal, raspy…. almost a little masculine at times' but said 'it's a diehard New York accent for sure.' 5 DeLucci was not surprised the New York accent was found to be the most confident. Helayne Seidman Answering Service Care picked the brains of more than 2,000 Americans for its study. To no one's surprise, the Southern accent — most commonly associated with Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia and South Carolina — was found to be the most charming. 'The Southern accents tend to have a slower pace, musical intonation, and warmth in their vowel sounds, which could evoke friendliness or approachability,' said Parker. 5 Piper no! America fell in love with Posey Parker's character – Victoria Ratliff's South Carolina accent on White Lotus. Stefano Delia/HBO America was certainly charmed by Posey Parker's snotty North Carolina accent in White Lotus ('Piper, no!') and Matthew McConaughey's 'alright, alright, alright' in 'Dazed and Confused' is still part of the American zeitgeist more than 30 years after it made its debut. But researchers also found the Southern twang is becoming extinct in younger generations, as people from all over the US flock south, particularly since the pandemic. 5 McConaughey's Texan accent has charmed Hollywood for more than three decades. Getty Images for IMDb The Hawaiian accent, meanwhile, was found to be the most soothing – highlighting its melodic, laid back and welcoming nature.
