Patrick Schwarzenegger opens up about embracing his legacy and overcoming the 'nepo baby' tag in chat with dad Arnold Schwarzenegger
Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold, discussed his Hollywood journey with his father, embracing his legacy and handling the 'nepo baby' label. Arnold praised Patrick for owning the Schwarzenegger name and carving his own path, comparing him to Jamie Lee Curtis. Patrick highlighted his upbringing and his parents' emphasis on hard work. For star kids, carrying a famous surname can feel like both a gift and a challenge. Patrick Schwarzenegger , son of legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger , knows this firsthand. Rather than shy away from it, Patrick has chosen to embrace his legacy—something his father is truly proud of. In a heartfelt chat for Variety's Actors on Actors series, 31-year-old Patrick sat down with Arnold, 77, to discuss his Hollywood journey, handling the 'nepo baby' label, and why owning the Schwarzenegger name was a decision he made on his own terms. Patrick admitted that earlier in his career, he sometimes wondered if it would be better to use a different name instead of his own. He shared that it took time to stop worrying about living in his father's shadow and focus instead on carving his own path in his own way. Arnold praised Patrick for keeping the Schwarzenegger name, joking that now he could take credit for his son's success. He compared Patrick to Jamie Lee Curtis—another star who overcame nepotism as the daughter of actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh—saying that with genuine talent, the nepotism label can be erased. Patrick, who appears in the third season of The White Lotus, also reflected on his upbringing and the values his parents instilled in him. He acknowledged the hard work his parents put in to provide him with opportunities and emphasized how their biggest advice—to work hard—has guided him throughout his career. During their conversation, Arnold also praised Patrick for never asking him to leverage his influence or connections to secure acting roles. Arnold also noted that Patrick never sought his advice on acting, calling him a rare breed and expressing how proud he is of him. Patrick later described the interview as an 'incredible opportunity' in an Instagram post, admitting he felt nervous beforehand. He appreciated the rare chance to have an hour-long, uninterrupted conversation without phones or a moderator. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, who divorced in 2011 after 25 years of marriage, have four children together: Katherine (35), Christina (33), Patrick (31), and Christopher (27). Arnold is also the father of Joseph Baena (27), whose mother is Mildred Patricia Baena, the family's longtime housekeeper.

Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘couldn't believe' his son Patrick's nudity on The White Lotus: ‘Followed my footsteps closely'
Arnold Schwarzenegger 'couldn't believe' his son and fellow actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, pursue the same path with a nude scene on The White Lotus, a a comedy-drama series released in 2021. The discussion shifted to Arnold's experience of viewing his son's "weenie" on television, according to Variety's Actors on Actors series. '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 stated. "Then I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don't complain about it," he informed his son, stating, 'It was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely.' He added, '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.' Patrick gained significant attention in the recent season 3 of Mike White's acclaimed dramedy The White Lotus, portraying a wealthy finance bro on vacation with his Southern family in Thailand who unravels after an incestuous encounter with his younger brother (Sam Nivola). Earlier, he discussed about watching the show with his family, comprising mother Maria Shriver, and how they "had different reactions to seeing me completely nude." 'My dad thought it was hilarious. My mom didn't even really understand what was happening. You know, everyone had a different kind of thought," he said, mentioning his fiancée, model Abby Champion, "melted into her chair' and 'was kind of flustered by it'. Arnold first reacted to the surprise of his son's on-screen nudity after attending the Season 3 premiere of The White Lotus in February. Sharing red carpet photos with Patrick on Instagram, he joked: '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.' In another part of the Actors on Actors interview, Patrick discussed what it's like to navigate Hollywood as a nepo baby, revealing that he once considered using a different name to separate his career from the shadow of his well-known parents. "It took a while for me to get to a point where I was less worried about living in your shadow versus wanting to do it the way I thought I should do it," he informed his father. "I'm glad you kept the name, because now I can take credit," Arnold replied, stating, "You joined a very short list of people: You know, Jamie Lee Curtis — I think she's one of the greatest actors in history. If you show you have the substance, you can get rid of the whole idea of nepotism."

At Urban Adda, experts push vision for human-centric cities
As India's cities grow denser and more chaotic, a fundamental question is taking centre stage: What would cities look like if they were designed for people instead of cars? That idea drove the conversations at Urban Adda 2025 — a three-day national dialogue on urban futures that kicked off on World Bicycle Day at India Habitat Centre. Organised by the Raahgiri Foundation in collaboration with the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) and GuruJal, the event was inaugurated by Union minister Mansukh Mandaviya, who urged citizens to embrace cycling as a sustainable and healthy habit. Hindustan Times is the media partner for the event. 'Cycling is the best form of exercise and a solution to pollution,' said Mandaviya, who holds the labour & employment and youth affairs & sports portfolios. Recalling his early days as a member of Parliament, he said, 'I cycled to Parliament daily and was known as the 'cycle-wala MP'. We must shed the notion that cycling is only for a certain segment and turn it into a movement for all.' The minister also launched two books authored by Dr Bhairavi Joshi — Cycling, Children & Cities, and Road to Cycle2School — advocating safe, active mobility for children and youth. The event's inaugural theme, 'Gati & Grace – Mobility, Art & Access for All', focused on building more inclusive, accessible and people-friendly cities. It featured sessions on improving roads, public spaces and transport infrastructure with inputs from policymakers, artists, activists and urban designers. The opening session titled 'The Human Centred Cities: Designing for Well-being, Connection and Sustainable Futures' called for cities to be designed not just efficiently, but equitably. 'A change in mindset is something we are all working towards, but statutory guidelines are extremely important,' said Ranjit Gadgil, programme director at Pune-based NGO Parisar. 'Mandates are needed so that standard urban designing can be done. Then, experts can be brought in to implement these designs.' The session was moderated by Sarika Panda Bhatt of the Raahgiri Foundation. In the second session, experts discussed adopting a 'Vision Zero' approach — aiming for zero road deaths or serious injuries, which can only be possible through proper planning and implementation of rules. Professor Geetam Tiwari of IIT Delhi, in her keynote address, argued that effective enforcement alone would not suffice — roads must be designed to forgive mistakes. 'We cannot rely on individuals to always make the right decision — our roads must be designed to forgive human error,' she said. 'Even if an individual jumps a red light, for instance, an uneven road surface could automatically reduce their speed and lower the risk of a fatal crash. It does not mean we should encourage not following traffic rules, but the infrastructure should be designed in such a way that even if there are people who do not follow rules, lives are not lost.' A subsequent session, 'User Experience, Accessibility and Inclusion by Design', focused on making public infrastructure inclusive for persons with disabilities (PWDs). Four volunteers participated in a short exercise simulating PWD experiences — two used wheelchairs, one was blindfolded, and one used crutches to navigate around the room. Stuti Kacker, former secretary, ministry of social justice and empowerment, said, 'In the early days of the Accessible India campaign, people would ask — where are the PWDs? We realised they're often isolated and reluctant to come out. After 10 years, there's more awareness, but the system is still not seamless and we need to work on that.' Among the panellists was Anuj Dayal, principal executive director, corporate communications, at Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Delhi Metro was among the first public transport systems in the country to incorporate accessibility features such as tactile strips, audio announcements and ramps for elevators. 'The national building code and the CPWD helped us incorporate these additions, but we also consulted activists like Anjlee Agarwal and Javed Abidi,' said Dayal, stating users can call the station master at any Metro station to ask for crutches or wheelchairs. 'In that case, the metro staff guides them to the platform,' he said. He noted that in lifts, buttons are placed at a low height, but acknowledged past complaints that not all lifts had ramps. 'We have tried to take feedback and incorporate changes wherever possible,' he said.
