Arnold Schwarzenegger Makes Bold Comment About Son's 'White Lotus' Scenes
Arnold Schwarzenegger Makes Bold Comment About Son's 'White Lotus' Scenes originally appeared on Parade.
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, 77, made a bold comment regarding his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger's NSFW scenes in the third season of the HBO series, The White Lotus.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Arnold and his 31-year-old son, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Maria Shriver, had a conversation about their respective careers during a June 2025 episode of Variety's Actors on Actors. Arnold said he was surprised when he saw Patrick's character, Saxon Ratliff, naked on screen.
"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," said Arnold during the interview with his son.
Arnold then said he could not be upset with his son because he has also appeared nude in a few of his projects.
"Then I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don't complain about it.' It was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely," said the former governor of California.
He also said he was proud of his son's acting ability.
"Your acting surprised the hell out of me. Not that I didn't know you're good. But it was just unbelievable, the kind of stuff that you did in the show," said Arnold to Patrick.
Patrick's mother has also shared her opinion of his work on The White Lotus Season 3. During an April 2025 interview on The TODAY Show, Shriver clarified that Patrick is nothing like Saxon, who makes several questionable decisions.
"Patrick is not like Saxon. I just want to clear that up. Because people say, 'Is Patrick like Saxon?' I'm like, 'Do you think I would have raised a Saxon?'" said Shriver with a laugh.
She also said she "is so happy" for her son that he found his big break on The White Lotus.

Dakota Johnson, 35, Turns Heads in See-Through Dress Amid Split Reports
Dakota Johnson, 35, Turns Heads in See-Through Dress Amid Split Reports originally appeared on Parade. Dakota Johnson stepped out in Tribeca on June 5 wearing a sheer dress. The outfit consisted of a strapless leotard underneath sheer fabric that featured a high neckline and long-sleeves. The Fifty Shades of Grey star was photographed leaving her hotel in New York City before heading to tape Late Night With Seth Meyers. This marked the latest stop on Johnson's recent press tour for the new film, Materialists. The outing comes just days after People magazine reported that Johnson and her fiance Chris Martin had split. "It feels final this time," a source told the outlet. Neither Johnson nor the Coldplay singer, who had been dating since 2017, have spoken out about the reports. The two were last photographed together in mid-May. For now, Johnson seems focused on her career — and her newest film. It's really the first time that she's appeared in a rom-com outside of Fifty Shades, which was a bit more... intense. In an interview with the LA Times, Johnson explained that she chose not to take on rom-com rolls because "they're not good." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 'I think a lot of what I read these days is void of soul and heart. And Celine is all soul and heart. I really love a rom-com if it feels like I can connect to the people in it. And I think I've found it hard to connect to the people in some of the ones that I've been offered," she said, referring to Materialists director, Celine Song. But Johnson admits she couldn't turn down this particular role. The reason? 'The complexities of all of the characters. The paradox. Everyone being confused about what the f— they're supposed to do with their hearts. And what's the right move? I found that very honest and I found it just so relatable," she said.

"Who knew?" campaign casts Walmart in fresh light
Man-of-the-moment Walton Goggins is stepping up as Walmart's new hype man in fresh ads featuring an earworm track from The Who. The company revealed the image campaign featuring the on-trend actor at its annual associates pep rally in Fayetteville on Friday. "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon emceed the event. The big picture: The world's largest retailer, long known as a low-price leader, now also wants to be known for its near-limitless selection and ability to deliver items — fast. Goggins — known most recently for " The White Lotus," " The Righteous Gemstones" and " Fallout" — made an appearance at the campaign reveal. "[I may] change my last name to Walton, so I'll be the only Walton Walton here," he joked. State of play: Goggins is the nonchalant hero-in-the-know throughout one ad showing off some of the half a billion products available through the retail giant. A home sauna? Yes. Bear spray? You bet. Dancing shoes? Of course. The Who's 1978 rock anthem " Who Are You" plays prominently in the background, and supporting actors declare, "Who knew?" "Who-knew, who-knew," one sings. Spanish-language ads will feature comedic actress Stephanie Beatriz. What they're saying: "The role of this campaign is to really change perceptions that people have of the Walmart they think they know … to a [multichannel] retailer that has a broad assortment and can deliver to you as fast as an hour," chief marketing officer William White told Axios. The "Who knew?" concept will reach into the world of Reddit with "approved hacks" from Redditors and will get time on TikTok TopView, White said. Paris Hilton and Russell Westbrook teased the campaign earlier this week with posts featuring the company's yellow shopping bag imprinted with "I knew." Stunning stat: Through its brick-and-mortar stores, online shopping, and marketplace where third parties sell goods to Walmart customers, the company can sell more than half a billion items. The rollout follows news this week that the retailer will be expanding its drone delivery operations in five Southern cities.

Major Movie Star Confesses to an Unbelievable Revenge Plot Involving Sending Gorilla Poop to a Man Who Broke Her Friend's Heart
Major Movie Star Confesses to an Unbelievable Revenge Plot Involving Sending Gorilla Poop to a Man Who Broke Her Friend's Heart originally appeared on Parade. During a new lie detector test with Vanity Fair, released on Thursday, June 5, didn't hold back. The polygraph interview, her second with the publication, quickly took a surprising turn when the questions shifted to her loyalty. After establishing that she would lie to the police to protect her "lifelong" friend, actress , the interrogator upped the ante with a very specific, and very messy, examiner asked Johnson to confirm if she had "once sent a man who broke your friend's heart a gallon of gorilla [poop]." Without missing a beat, a smiling star of The Materialists confessed. 'I mean, there's no way that he would watch this, so, yes, I did do that,' she admitted, adding context that the vengeful act wasn't a recent affair. 'And it's been quite a while. It's been some years.' The off-camera interrogator, seemingly speaking for everyone watching, had to know more about the logistics. 'How would one order something like that? Asking for a friend,' he inquired. Johnson, ever helpful, was happy to share her source. Her go-to website for such a unique delivery is a service that specializes in mailing various types of animal feces. 'You can order any kind, any size,' the Madame Web star explained, a statement the polygrapher confirmed was 'truthful.' While her methods may be unconventional, the act stems from a place of deep loyalty, a theme that ran through the interview. In one segment of the video, she talked about meeting her friend Riley Keough at an In-N-Out Burger and affirmed her unwavering support for her friends. However, Johnson does have her limits. When asked if she also knew how to "order pubic crabs online," she drew the line with a laugh. 'No! Good Lord, I'm not a monster,' she exclaimed. The Fifty Shades of Grey star, who recently navigated her own public split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin after a long-term relationship, did not disclose the identity of the friend she so fiercely defended. This latest polygraph session also saw her touch on her need for at least 10 hours of sleep, her preference for baths, and her past as a member of a band humorously named "Folky Porn." The entire interview paints a picture of an actress who, despite her private nature, is willing to get her hands dirty—or at least click "add to cart"—for the people she loves.
