Patrick Schwarzenegger lands huge new Amazon role with Margaret Qualley after White Lotus success
The actor will star opposite Margaret Qualley in Love of Your Life from Amazon MGM Studios.
Patrick Schwarzenegger has landed his first major role since his breakout performance in the third season of The White Lotus. The actor, who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, will star opposite Margaret Qualley in Love of Your Life from Amazon MGM Studios.
The romantic drama is being directed by Black Panther cinematographer-turned-helmer Rachel Morrison and produced by Ryan Gosling and partner Jessie Henderson.
The story follows a young woman, played by Qualley, who loses her husband and goes on a journey to find a way forward in her life.
Schwarzenegger will play an old friend and ex-boyfriend in Love of Your Life, which will begin filming in European cities in August.
Of his breakout role in White Lotus, Schwarzenegger said: 'I was a huge fan of the first two seasons and when they told me there'd be a third, I was like, 'Oh my God, we have to find a role in that". And then when the audition came, it was a dream come true.
'I've gotten sent a lot of rom-coms where the guy is like that typical guy, and I've gotten sent some cool action stuff, but it's not what I've wanted to do so far.
'And yeah, I guess it's easy to do something again, but I think it's really important for the next thing to be different and unique and for me to continuously try to showcase a different side.'
Both Qualley and Schwarzenegger fit the 'nepo baby' tag.
Qualley is the daughter of actress Andie MacDowell, who starred in films such as Groundhog Day and Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Late year, Qualley earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in The Substance.
Schwarzenegger has been slowly building out an acting career over the years, and last fall starred in Ryan Murphy's American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez as Tim Tebow. He also in recent years, appeared in HBO Max's Emmy-nominated limited series The Staircase, Prime Video's The Terminal List, and Prime Video's The Boys spinoff, Gen V.
But it was his role as Saxon Ratliff that earned him fans of his acting around the world.
His Austrian-born dad Arnold, 77, started his career as a world champion bodybuilder before developing an incredible acting career, thanks to lead roles in the Terminator franchise as well as action films such as Predator and comedies such as True Lies, Kindergarten Cop and Twins.
He also entered politics and became governor of California.

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper admits things are 'not good' in health update
Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has informed his fans he won't be able to 'move around' as usual in his latest Instagram update after suffering a 'painful 'injury Kaleb Cooper has bravely opened up about his "painful" health woes after suffering an injury. The much-loved star of Clarkson's Farm took to Instagram stories to update his followers on an unfortunate mishap that landed him in hospital. Kaleb candidly expressed to his fans that he had indeed fractured his ankle and was now confined to a safety boot, remarking "not good". Nonetheless, the resilient farmer is not letting this dampen his spirits or his dedication to his supporters, reassuring them on Instagram that he will be powering through to make it to the Three Counties Show. Kaleb assured with determination: "I may be hobbling around as I've fractured my ankle, but I'll still be at the 3 Counties Show on the Sunday." His commitment is underlined by his promise: "I'll be doing talks throughout the day, and Hawkestone Cider will be there. So, do pop along and say hello. I'll be there - don't you worry! I'm looking forward to it," reports Gloucestershire Live. This news arrives hot on the heels of Clarkson's Farm releasing its fourth season to acclaim on Prime Video, and there's already buzz about a potential fifth series. Jeremy Clarkson himself has hinted at a well-deserved respite for the show during a conversation with The Sunday Times, considering the tireless work of the team. Jeremy reflected on the intense filming schedule: "Whatever happens we'll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We've been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest." Since its launch in 2021, Clarkson's Farm has been a smash hit, propelling Kaleb Cooper to fame, leading him to tour the UK and even write his own book. While Kaleb was off captivating audiences with his speaking events, Jeremy Clarkson introduced viewers to the new, glamorous farmhand Harriet Cowan. Amidst a flurry of speculation, Clarkson put an end to rumours that Kaleb had been "replaced" on Clarkson's Farm. In a candid Instagram video, Jeremy set the record straight: " There have been lots of reports that Kaleb has been 'replaced'-well, no, he hasn't." The seasoned broadcaster, now 65, elaborated: "What happened is this, he went away on his speaking tour, for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years, I'd be able to manage on my own. "I didn't - I made a complete hash of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he returned. That is it - that's the story!".

Amazon confirms 98-year-old star will return in sequel to iconic 80s comedy
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Beloved 80s space comedy Spaceballs is actually coming back after 40 years — and so is Mel Brooks. The 1987 classic will finally get a sequel to mark 40 years since it first hit cinemas and roasted almost every major movie along with it. Spaceballs, which has gathered a cult following since its release, is primarily a spoof of Star Wars but also parodies Alien, Star Trek, and more. Even the Wizard of Oz wasn't safe from Mel's cutting comedy, with the actor having co-written, produced and directed as well as playing two characters. The as-yet untitled sequel will see the return of the 98-year-old actor, who is soon to turn 99, because how could it possibly be made without him. Little is known about the Amazon MGM Studios production other than it is due to reach theatres in 2027. Mel posted a video on his X account, teasing which franchises could be in his sights and ridiculing the sequel culture we're currently living in. 'I told you we'd be back,' he wrote in bold letters before the familiar Star Wars (or Spaceballs) blue writing scrolled before fans. It read: 'Thirty-eight years ago, there was only one Star Wars trilogy. But since then there have been… A prequel trilogy, a sequel trilogy, a sequel to the prequel, a prequel to the sequel, countless TV spinoffs, a movie spinoff of the TV spinoff which is both a prequel and a sequel.' As the fanfare played, names of numerous other franchises were displayed such as seven Jurassic Parks, '36 MCU movies with two different Robert Downey Jr.'s' and 'DCU attempt number one' and 'number two'. The video cut to Mel wearing a Spaceballs sweatshirt as he said: 'After 40 years, we asked 'what do the fans want?' But instead, we're making this movie.' Fans of the cult classic will remember his golden painted face as Yoghurt, the spoof version of Star Wars' Yoda who upholds the good side of 'the Schwartz'. Mel also appeared as President Skroob — Brooks written backwards — who is the useless leader of Planet Spaceballs. Deadline confirmed that the EGOT winner is not the only original cast member returning, either. Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis will reprise their roles as Lone Starr and Lord Dark Helmet (parodies of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, respectively). Joining the cast is Keke Palmer who is almost as well-known for her comedy off-screen as she is for her acting on-screen. More Trending The Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film is being kept incredibly under wraps. This will be the first time Rick, 72, will appear in a live-action movie since 1997 and the first film appearance at all since he voiced Rutt in Brother Bear 2 (2006). He's been living life away from Hollywood since then, keeping out of the spotlight — until now. Hopefully, Spaceballs 2 will be worthy of his re-emergence after three decades. Only time will tell so may the Schwartz be with you, Spaceballs 2 cast. Got a story?

Woke-obsessed BBC would rather hand itself in to cops than air Clarkson's Farm – and that's why terrestrial TV is dying
APPROACHING four hours into the new Clarkson's Farm and not one animal had kicked or butted Jeremy in the nuts.
