Patrick Schwarzenegger packed four outfits for seven-month White Lotus shoot
Patrick Schwarzenegger only packed four outfits when he flew to Thailand to film The White Lotus for seven months.
The Gen V actor stars as rich womaniser Saxon Ratliff in the third season of Mike White's acclaimed comedy-drama alongside the likes of Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, and Walton Goggins.
While his co-stars packed a reasonable amount of clothes in their suitcases, the 31-year-old under-packed because he figured he'd be wearing Saxon's outfits most of the time.
"Everyone on the set of The White Lotus made fun of me because I probably had four outfits for the whole seven months," he confessed to Variety. "I had a carry-on of just a few outfits because I was like, 'It's sunny and it's hot,' and then you're on set every day, you're just going to wear the character's clothing. Although I didn't want to wear the character's clothing outside of work - they were not for me."
The actor, who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, noted in a separate interview with Cosmopolitan that he could roam the hotel in his pyjamas if he wanted to because it was closed to the public during the shoot.
"We were in a hot Thai climate for seven months and on the days that you're not in character, you're at the hotel and you're hanging or swimming just in board shorts and a T-shirt or a workout gear," he explained. "I honestly didn't even bring much other clothing to Thailand, I think I didn't even bring a pair of jeans. It was just us, so I could go to the hotel in my pyjamas for dinner."
Patrick and model Shanina Shaik front the campaign for Banana Republic's 24-piece White Lotus-inspired capsule collection, which is available in the U.S. now.

The Gilded Age: Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector Talk Season 3
The Gilded Age is back, baby!! Not only in the economic climate of our country, but on our TV screens. After two long years, we finally get to head back to New York with Bertha, George and the whole crew. While last season's main drama was the battle for top opera house, this season seems to be squarely focused on Gladys's marriage, with the premiere episode giving us a little bait-and-switch. We are reintroduced to Gladys's love interest Billy only to be reminded that Bertha still has bigger plans for her daughter, namely the Duke of Buckingham. Will Bertha pull it off and get the match she wants? Will forcing Gladys into marriage ruin Bertha's relationship with George? Does Billy Carlton stand a chance? Cosmopolitan hopped on Zoom with Carrie Coon, who plays Bertha, and Morgan Spector, who plays George, to talk through the season premiere. CC: And what's interesting is I don't think they realize how far apart they actually are. Bertha certainly doesn't realize how far apart they are. MS: I think that's right. The minute that George understands why the Duke came to the ball, he starts to feel like Bertha has nefarious intentions with regard to Gladys. When they first start to have these discussions, they assume they're going to be able to resolve it, and it quickly turns out that that's not going to be the case. CC: Our values are not really aligned in this moment, even though Bertha is very confident things will work out. CC: She believes that she is actually supplying her daughter with happiness in the long term. She doesn't believe that this puppy love is going to last, and the young man doesn't really rise to the occasion. He caves, and she doesn't feel he has the character that will sustain Gladys in a fulfilling life, in a life that gives her a sense of purpose. And what she wants is for her daughter to have power and influence in the in all facets of the world. And unfortunately, the way she does that is through marriage. It will also elevate the family status, which in her mind, is something she's doing for George to help his business interests. So Bertha's feeling very selfless in her pursuits. She's feeling like everything she's doing is for the good of her family, and she feels profoundly misunderstood. MS: Isn't it just? CC: He's lovely. Bertha really likes him. They had a charming first dinner. We remember this. It was delightful to see them together. MS: They did. It was very charming. MS: Absolutely not. And George doesn't think so either. And I think that's also part of why George's advocacy for Gladys kind of falls flat, because the only real ace that he has in up his sleeve is Billy, and Billy utterly fails. MS: George is outmatched in Bertha's sphere of influence. I don't think he truly understands the stakes for a woman at this time, what Bertha is trying to accomplish with Gladys's marriage. He's coming from the privileged position of, well, I had a love match, and that worked out for me. I want that for my daughter. And that's as far as he's thought about it. He has believed, erroneously it turns out, that he's going to be able to just put his foot down and Bertha will retreat. And when she doesn't, when she marshals all of these arguments about how much this marriage could mean for Gladys, George really doesn't have a sufficient reply. George has misjudged his adversary in this. CC: And to be fair, you're very distracted. The railroad across the country is is very high stakes gamble you're taking and gambling our entire livelihood, which he's not being entirely honest about. MS: No, it's true. George is also caught up in his own massive commercial drama. CC: She figures he'll figure it out. She says that she's comfortable going back to scrubbing her own floors, but that's not true. There's much more Parker Posey in White Lotus in her than she lets on. MS: There is an interesting contrast, because in the first season, George risks it all on another occasion, and Bertha says, bring it on. I'll gamble with you anytime. And I think it's clear in this third season, that's not the case. She has too much now. She's too high up the ladder in New York society to let it go. CC: That's the crux of the biscuit for her this year. She's not really taking them into consideration. The fact that her son starts slipping away from her is pretty startling. She's had a fairly easy time dealing with Larry, and the fact that he starts to take a stand against her in a very real way is surprising. It shouldn't be, but because she's so myopic about her goal, it is. MS: They're both turned on by power, and they're both engaged in this never-ending quest for more and that. And they also have quite separate lives. They have a lot of autonomy in terms of how they express their ambition. That charge is something that they can rely on. They're both pursuing power, they're both turned on by power, and they're getting more and more of it all the time. CC: Yes. There's a lot of vitality required for that kind of pursuit. CC: Yeah, that's it. It's respect. MS: It's camaraderie. CC: If you don't respect your partner the relationship will not last. It will fall apart, I promise you. Morgan and I both have very egalitarian and respectful marriages. And it's fun to play a healthy marriage. There's a lot of material. Oftentimes marriages are in trouble in drama land, in TV show land. And actually the healthy marriage is just as interesting and just as complicated. MS: Marriage is often presented in drama as a trap that constrains your individuality. It's a thing that stops you from expressing yourself, and it's a thing that keeps you from being free. In my life, I certainly find the opposite. I find that there's tremendous freedom in being in that kind of relationship. That's part of what's in these characters, as well as being each other's biggest supporter, they're both each other's biggest advocate. They're both trying to make sure that the other person is fulfilled. And in that kind of relationship, there can be tremendous freedom. So although George does have that great line about marriage not being the place to look for freedom, that's not necessarily reflective of their relationship.

The White Lotus' Walton Goggins on Public Perception: ‘Who Gives a F—‘
actor Walton Goggins recently gave his opinion on the public's perception of actors' performances at an actor roundtable. Goggins launched his acting career in the early 2000s. However, he only experienced a significant rise in fame in recent years. This fame came via scene-stealing performances in shows such as The White Lotus, Fallout, and The Righteous Gemstones. The White Lotus star Walton Goggins recently appeared on The Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actor Roundtable. Cooper Koch, Diego Luna, Eddie Redmayne, Jeffrey Wright, and Adam Scott also featured in this roundtable. During their discussion, the actors were asked if there was anything they wished they had known earlier in their careers. This led to Goggins sharing his story on public perception. Goggins said that he had to 'constantly check' his 'ego.' He stressed how an actor had to take on work of 'a certain caliber,' or risk being seen by the public in a particular way. 'Who gives a f— what other people think?' Goggins asked. 'At the end of the day, go to work.' Goggins subsequently emphasized that actors shouldn't 'manage' or 'try to dictate' what their acting experience will be like. Additionally, Goggins explained how fan interactions panned out for him. He noted how people, upon meeting him, felt like they knew him, wanted to share a drink, or simply 'hang out' with him. He also mentioned that he had gotten into disagreements with fans during discussions about episodes of projects he was involved in. Elaborating, when asked about the disagreements, Goggins said, 'Well, yeah. I mean, if they're sharing an idea, like, 'This is what I think.' I'll say, well, it's interesting that it hit you that way. I think you're wrong.' However, Goggins acknowledged liking the conversations he had with fans. Understanding that what he said next would 'sound weird,' he shared that every time he was 'stopped on he street,' he felt that he could 'provide for' his family. 'Like, it's a blessing, not a curse,' he added. The post The White Lotus' Walton Goggins on Public Perception: 'Who Gives a F—' appeared first on - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.

Will There Be a ‘We Were Liars' Season 2?
Season 1 of We Were Liars, based on the E. Lockhart novel of the same name, just wrapped. The YA bestseller was adapted for screen by showrunners Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie into eight episodes, and the season finale seemed to be setting up more intrigue ahead. So, will there be a season 2? Here's what we know so far. Not yet. The second season just finished airing, and it may take a while for Prime Video to decide to renew. Plec and MacKenzie told The Wrap that they've had 'endless conversations' with the streamer on the topic. 'They are very supportive and just waiting on whatever data it is these algorithmic creators need to have before they write big check, so we're looking forward to the data working in our favor,' Plec said. 'We are, as usual, at the mercy of the robots,' MacKenzie added. While talking to Variety, MacKenzie said, 'The great thing about this show is that the first season has a satisfying, powerful ending. So I want people who generally don't tune in to the first season because they're afraid it's going to get canceled, to know that they're safe to watch this show, and if it doesn't get a second season, you've still got a whole story. But also, Emily wrote three books and we love this world. We love our cast. We'd love the opportunity that exists for more story, so we're hopeful that we'll get to come back and do more. But also, should this be a limited series, I think it's a beautiful story.' The show follows the teen members of the wealthy and elite Sinclair family, Cadence, Johnny, Mirren, and their friend Gat, across two summers. The first summer involves traumatic loss and the second summer sees Cadence dealing with the loss of her siblings and their ghosts' struggles to move on to the other side. Johnny ends the season still earthbound and seemingly tied to his mother, Carrie. That means a second season could center around their relationship and the older Sinclairs. In an interview with The Wrap, Julie Plec shared, 'The best gift that Emily Lockhart gave us as we were sitting down to write We Were Liars was she published Family of Liars, which was a prequel about the Sinclair sisters when they were teenagers. The book opens with Carrie telling the story of a very dark time and a very bad summer to her dead son.' 'We just wanted the audience to know that there's still more story to tell, and we're really looking forward to the opportunity to be able to do it,' she added. It's unclear if the released spirits would return, but season 1 starred Emily Alyn Lind, Esther McGregor, Joseph Zada, Shubham Maheshwari, and Mamie Gummer. This post will be updated.
