Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver offer differing takes on son's nude scene on ‘The White Lotus'
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have shared their initial reactions to watching their son Patrick Schwarzenegger strip down on-camera for ' The White Lotus,' revealing starkly different perspectives. 'I couldn't believe (it). I said to myself, 'I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there.' And all of a sudden, I see the weenie,' the former California governor candidly recalled during a joint appearance with his son on Variety's video series 'Actors on Actors,' released Tuesday, June 3. 'What is going on here? This is crazy.' Patrick's full-frontal nude scene was part of his role as Saxon Ratliff on the HBO show's third season. While his father emphasized his initial shock at the scene, which he watched during an advance screening ahead of its premiere, his mother shared during separate interviews that she was unfazed. "People are like, 'Oh my God, you saw!' (and) I'm like, 'I gave birth to him,'" Shriver said during a Tuesday appearance on 'The Jamie Kern Lima Show.' "I've seen him naked since he was a baby." The former journalist, who was married to Arnold for 25 years, previously told People Magazine that she didn't even notice the nudity when she first watched the episode. "I'm just looking at him and his craft really," she said Tuesday, noting she only realized after her other children —Patrick's siblings Kathernine, Christina and Christopher — pointed it out. Though Arnold was appalled at first, he said that he quickly came to the same conclusion as his ex-wife, and acknowledged that his son was simply following in his own footsteps. 'I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in 'Conan' and 'Terminator,' so don't complain about it,'' he said, referring to his own nude scenes. By the time Patrick's racy scene on 'The White Lotus' aired, Arnold had made his peace with it and even trolled him on social media, joking that 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' During the father-son duo's recent 'Actors on Actors' interview, Arnold went on to speak with his son about nepotism and privilege within the industry, and how one rises above that. 'If you show you have the substance, you can get rid of the whole idea of nepotism,' Arnold said, directly addressing his son. 'You have never asked me to call a studio or to call an agent. You never asked me for advice when it comes to acting itself. You're a rare breed.' Shriver expressed a similar sense of pride toward her son. "I think people, when they see somebody in a show like that, they don't realize how much leads up to that moment,' she said. 'They don't realize how hard he's worked or how many roles he hasn't gotten."

Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are headed to streaming
Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are coming to streaming for the first time. The two game shows will arrive on Hulu and Peacock in September, according to a report from The New York Times. Under the multi-year deal, new episodes of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune will appear on both streaming services one day after they air on linear TV. The agreement will include older episodes of each show, too. For decades, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune have been staples on linear TV, and their expansion to Peacock and Hulu is part of a broader pattern that's bringing key series, like WWE's Monday Night Raw, to streaming. As pointed out by The Hollywood Reporter, this streaming deal isn't directly connected to the legal battle involving Sony — the producer of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! — and its distributor, CBS. Last year, Sony sued CBS over claims it breached their agreement by not doing enough to boost revenue from licensing the shows. A judge granted Sony the rights to distribute Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! in April, but an appellate court ruled last week that CBS can keep distributing the shows during the legal battle.

Arnold Schwarzenegger praises son Patrick Schwarzenegger's 'White Lotus' performance
Arnold Schwarzenegger is proud of his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, following his performance in " The White Lotus." The father-son duo, who were featured in Variety's"Actors on Actors" issue, talked about acting and more, including Patrick Schwarzenegger's most recent role in season 3 of "The White Lotus." "Everyone is coming up to me in the gym and saying, 'Your son is fantastic,'" Arnold Schwarzenegger said. "Someone else comes up to me and says, 'I hated your son in the series.'" Patrick Schwarzenegger shares sweet video revealing 'White Lotus' role to his family "The Terminator" continued, saying, "Hated him? What kind of compliment is that? They said, 'He was fantastic, but the character he played was so believable.'" Patrick Schwarzenegger replied and said, following "The White Lotus," his biggest learning experience was "how much people associate you with your character." "The first weeks, people came up to me and told me how much they hated me," he said. "By the end of it, they came up to me saying how much they felt bad for me. It was a roller coaster." Arnold Schwarzenegger went on to tell his son that he was "blown away" by his performance in the hit HBO Max show. "Your acting surprised the hell out of me," he told his son. "I didn't recognize you." Patrick Schwarzenegger replied and spoke about how it's been "surreal" for him. The duo drew a parallel between their acting journeys and realized they both had done nude scenes. Arnold Schwarzenegger recalled doing the opening scene in "The Terminator" naked, and his son mentioned a scene from "The White Lotus" too. "It was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely," Arnold Schwarzenegger joked. Before "The White Lotus," Patrick Schwarzenegger told his dad about what it meant to him to carry the famous Schwarzenegger name. He previously opened up to a magazine about how the name could be an "obstacle." Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood join 'The White Lotus' season 3: Meet the cast He told his dad, "I feel it in multiple ways. Mike White said that it comes with baggage, the idea that when you have successful parents like I do with you and Mom, there's an added level of what other people think. Mike was worried about, if he cast me, what other people would think. Which they did -- they did care about that; people said I got the role because of you and Mom." "There were times earlier in my career where I was wondering, does it make sense to go under an alias?" he added. "It took a while for me to get to a point where I was less worried about living in your shadow versus wanting to do it the way I thought I should do it. " Arnold Schwarzenegger replied and said, "I'm glad you kept the name, because now I can take credit. My son -- the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
