Arnold Schwarzenegger shocks fans with 'weird and creepy' remark about seeing son Patrick naked on screen
Arnold Schwarzenegger made his son Patrick blush while talking about watching him bare it all in season three of HBO 's hit drama The White Lotus. During Variety's Actors on Actors series, the father and son duo spoke candidly about everything from the level of scrutiny Patrick faces as a ' nepo baby ' to making the decision to do full-frontal nudity for the biggest roles of their careers. After Arnold, 77, reflected on appearing nude in both The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Patrick, 31, reminded him he's 'done it' too. '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. What is going on here? This is crazy!' Arnold recalled. Despite initially feeling taken aback after seeing Patrick naked in The White Lotus, he quickly reminded himself: 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don't complain about it.' Still, he quipped: 'It was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely.' Patrick went on to sidestep talking any further about his nude scene as he pivoted the conversation to how they've both worked with some of Hollywood's biggest directors. The moment sparked a plethora of reactions on social media as many dubbed it bizarre and uncomfortable that Arnold commented about seeing his son in the buff. 'Arnold's just being a dad—hilarious and awkward in the best way. 'The weenie' comment got me [crying with laughter emoji],' one X user tweeted. Another wrote: 'They are so wild and weird and creepy.' 'When your dad's the Terminator, even your nudity gets a performance review!' a third joked. Despite Arnold ruffling some feathers, others praised them for 'interviewing each other and talking about weenies.' Others called that portion of the interview 'the funniest part of the whole segment.' 'You gotta admire the bluntness though. No sugar-coating, just "Yo, what's going on here?!" That's the kinda dad commentary reality TV NEEDS more of,' another insisted. In addition to having Arnold publicly react to his nude scene, Patrick's mom Maria Shriver recently did as well. When asked about seeing her son's full-frontal scene, the journalist, 69, laughed off the awkward question. 'People are like, "Oh my God, you saw!" [and] I'm like, 'I gave birth to him.' It's not such a, you know, I've seen him naked,' she mused. 'I've seen him naked since he was a baby.' In February, Patrick's brother-in-law Chris Pratt also confessed to not looking away at his package in those revealing The White Lotus scenes. 'I know where my eyes went—I'm not blood-related to him, I was looking at that d**k, bro,' Pratt joked to E! News. 'No, he looks amazing. Obviously, he's a physical specimen, but also he's a really solid actor, because the character he's playing is completely different than who he is.' Following the release of The White Lotus, Patrick admitted he didn't know the 'extent' of the nakedness that his role as Saxon Ratliff required before agreeing to it. 'You do the auditions but you don't see the full script so you don't have all the details, then they ask you, "Are you comfortable with nudity?" when you sign on,' he told The Sunday Times Style Magazine. Patrick defended the gratuitous nudity revolving his character as he pointed out his 'character, from start to finish, is ridiculous and the type of person who absolutely would walk around his room naked without a care in the world.' 'He's the guy who, whenever he sees a girl at the pool, he's going to flirt with them whether it's a mom or a 22-year-old,' he stressed. In order to accept his part in the series, which was filmed in Thailand over a period of seven months, Patrick pushed back his own wedding to fiancée Abby Champion. After informing his bride-to-be about having to delay their walk down the aisle, Patrick gushed on The Drew Barrymore Show that Champion was very supportive. 'She was so happy,' he said. 'She was ecstatic because she was a huge fan.'

Dean Cain slams Superman co-star Teri Hatcher as 'difficult' years after rumors of on-set feud
Superman and Lois Lane are an iconic comic book duo - but rumors have long-swirled that the real-life actors had a less than compatible relationship. Dean Cain, who played Clark Kent in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, recently shed some light on his sometimes fraught relationship with co-star Teri Hatcher. While Cain, 58, called Hatcher, 60, 'the best Lois Lane of all time' - saying that sometimes working together with her was 'the greatest thing in the world' - he revealed that other times, it was 'a lot more difficult.' On a recent episode of the Inside of You podcast, Cain, who co-starred with Hatcher from 1993 to 1997, looked back at the their time on the show together. Cain admitted he was taken aback the first time he met the actress, recalling an awkward interaction to host Michael Rosenbaum. '[After I was cast, we had a chemistry read]. The last one they said was Teri. They go, "Teri wants you to go and run lines with her,"' he explained. 'No other girl had asked me to run lines,' he continued. 'She's in this room and she goes, "You don't like me, do you? We were at the network together. You never talked to me. You didn't say hi to me."' He said he shot back: 'You didn't say hi to me either. I was just trying to get a job. They never paired us up. I had no reason to talk to you.' 'But that right there was the relationship between Lois and Clark,' he pointed out. 'Lois drove the series and that was her.' While Cain revealed the Desperate Housewives alum didn't speak to him for a 'short' time, he insists they 'didn't have a big [falling-out].' He added they are 'still very friendly' to this day. 'Overall, it was amazing. Incredible. What a way to start a career, what a way to learn what doing a one-hour series is like,' the actor gushed. The former Ripley's Believe It or Not! host continued saying there were times where the pair had 'great chemistry,' and working together 'was just the easiest thing in the world.' 'Other times, I just wanted to finish and go home. I almost feel like she didn't,' he continued. He explained he felt the Desperate Housewives alum would often focus on the wrong thing. 'There were times where I felt like, "I don't think she wants to go home because she's worried about this one little thing that has nothing to do with what we're doing. And that's slowing us down for two-and-a-half hours,"' he complained. He continued: 'I'm a team guy. I'm real simple. Plug me in and let's go. I'm here to get this done as fast as we can.' Cain said that he and Hatcher (pictured in 2025) are 'still very friendly' to this day However, Cain said the actress 'carried the show,' and overall he enjoyed working with her. 'I just got to react off her. It worked wonderfully. It was a great pairing,' he gushed. 'She's an icon.' Cain was set for a promising American football career before a knee injury forced him to change course - appearing in advertisements and in bit parts on TV shows. He rose to real fame after his winning smile, good looks and chiseled frame won him the part of Clark Kent in The New Adventures of Superman. He later appeared in other comic book roles in Smallville and Supergirl. Hatcher, who went on to star in Tomorrow Never Dies in 1997, admitted last year she didn't get to fully 'enjoy' her time as a Bond girl. The actress explained she was pregnant with daughter Emmerson at the time if making the film, in which she starred opposite Pierce Brosnan. She explained 'being a mother' was at the 'forefront' of her mind. 'I do step back with a lot of gratitude. Tomorrow Never Dies was a very small role, perfect as I was secretly nine weeks pregnant. It was only two weeks, a couple of scenes, then I'd be too pregnant to keep working,' she told the Guardian newspaper. 'But the pregnancy got leaked and it was out of my control,' she added. 'I don't think you'd get away with that anymore. Women's rights are much stronger. You're allowed to have privacy.' Hatcher and her ex-husband, actor Jon Tenney, whom she shares her daughter with, divorced in 2003. Cain and Hatcher reunited in 2018 on a panel to discuss Lois & Clark at the Comic-Con panel in New York City

George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Stacy Keibler, 45, rocks a bikini... just before he hits the Tony Awards
Former WWE star Stacy Keibler shared a bikini photo to Instagram this week as she posed with her young son on his seventh birthday. The 45-year-old looked very toned with impressive abs that can only be hard won at the gym. This image comes just before her ex boyfriend George Clooney is set to attend the Tony Awards in New York City. He will likely take as his date his attorney wife Amal Clooney. The 64-year-old Oscar- winning actor has been in the play Good Night, And Good Luck. Keibler was one of the final names on Clooney's legendary roster of girlfriends before the actor found lasting love with his now-wife Amal. This image comes just before her ex boyfriend George Clooney is set to attend the Tony Awards in New York City (pictured in 2012) Their two-year romance was hot and heavy, but they called it quits in June 2013. By October, Clooney had already moved on to brilliant British lawyer Amal, and within six months, they were engaged. The sudden turn of events 'irked' Keibler at the time, as she had believed wedding bells might soon be in her future, per US Weekly. Keibler left Hollywood behind after the split and settled into a quieter life as a loving wife and mom. She went on to marry her longtime friend, Future Ads CEO Jared Pobre, in 2014. Keibler and the tech engineer live in Wyoming after leaving the fast life of Los Angeles behind. She's embraced motherhood three times over, sharing three beautiful children with her husband, Jared: 5-year-old son Bodhi Brooks, 4-year-old daughter Isabella Faith, and 9-year-old daughter Ava Grace. Keibler also rocked this black-and-white suit in Mexico this spring 'We live in Jackson Hole, and it's so nice to just have a little tribe there,' she previously told People magazine. 'I really wanted to take a break from the spotlight for a little while and focus on family,' she continued. 'Jared and I both took a few years away from our careers and even took a four-year digital detox. 'I was off all social media for four years and it was great. Jackson Hole is a complete opposite lifestyle of Los Angeles. So we were able to really focus on all the things that are really important to us.' After leaving WWE in July 2006, Stacy showed off her versatility by competing on Dancing with the Stars, where she finished third in the show's second season. She also popped up in guest roles on How I Met Your Mother and Psych, adding some acting credits to her name. Then, in April 2023, Keibler was inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame, cementing her legacy in the industry. But these days, much of her focus is on her family. 'I've entered into another chapter of being a mom, and anyone with three kids knows that that's a juggling act, and it's my full-time job,' she told People in 2023. 'So I have taken a step back to focus on putting my heart and soul into that,' she added. 'Now, because I've been a performer since the age of 7, of course, it's also in my heart, but it's just something that I've kind of taken a backseat to, focusing on something else.'
