The most recent season of Mike White's The White Lotus gave us everything from Jason Isaac's penis to an incest storyline involving Patrick Schwarzenegger's Saxon Ratliff and his on-screen brother, Lochlan, played by Sam Nivola.
In a recent interview with Variety, Patrick's dad, the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, had some thoughts on his son's nudity that is raising eyebrows across the internet, to say the least.

Others defended the former California Governor by saying he was "just being a dad" in "hilarious and awkward" ways.

In the 25-second viral clip, Arnold said, 'I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there.'

As Patrick laughed, Arnold continued, 'And all of a sudden, I see the weenie, and I said to myself, 'What is going on here? I mean, this is crazy!''
Referring to his own career, Arnold hit his head and added, 'Then I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello! You did the same thing in Conan and in Terminator and all of those films. You were naked, so don't complain about it.''
Still, he admitted it came as a 'shock' to him that his son followed his footsteps 'that closely.'
Although the interview sparked an online debate, it isn't the first time Arnold addressed his son's on-screen nudity.
In February, he posted on Instagram, stating, 'What a show! I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.'

Patrick responded to Arnold's post with a simple tweet saying, 'Parents' with two face-smack emojis.

Outside of the nudity, Arnold said later in the interview that Patrick's acting 'surprised that hell' out of him, saying, 'Not that I didn't know that you're good…But it was just unbelievable, the kind of stuff that you did in the show.'

"Honestly, the funniest part of the whole segment. The rest of it lacked spontaneity, which is WHY they have actors talk to other actors they don't know well or haven't worked with extensively."
