Arnold Schwarzenegger wants family movie with Patrick Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt
The 77-year-old actor is open to the idea of a collaboration with his 31-year-old son and son-in-law - who married his daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019 - but insisted they wouldn't do so for the sake of it as the script would have to be good enough.
He told E! News of the possibility: "It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it.
"But you can't just make up this stuff. You can't just say, 'OK, let's just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script.' "
The Fubar star called on filmmakers to make the project happen.
He said: "You don't have to talk about it, just do it."
Arnold - who, as well as Katherine, 35, and Patrick, 31, also has Christina, 33, and Christopher, 27, with ex-wife Maria Shriver and Joseph Baena, 27, with Mildren Baena - is also open to the idea of following in his son's footsteps and starring in The White Lotus.
Asked if he'd be interested in a role in the anthology series, he said: "Whenever I see something good, I am interested in it, so we will see."
The former Governor of California is delighted to witness Patrick's success because his son has always been interested in acting.
He said: "Patrick always had a love for show business. He has spent a lot of time on the set with me when he was a kid. He was doing his homework in my movie trailer, he was watching me shooting on stage. I think he got the desire right then and there."
Meanwhile, the veteran action star is excited about the new season of Fubar, even if he finds certain physical scenes "very, very tough" these days.
He teased: "The second season is a lot, a lot of great, great action, and also really funny moments.
"The actual sequences are very, very tough to do, especially when you do night shoots and all that. But it's a lot of fun."
While Arnold is proud of Patrick, he recently admitted he was shocked when his son stripped naked in The White Lotus.
During a joint interview for Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series, he told his son: "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.
"Then I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don't complain about it.'
"But it was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely."

Linda Hamilton spent 'hundreds of thousands' on mental health treatment
Linda Hamilton has spent "hundred of thousands of dollars" on her mental health. The Terminator actress has spoken openly in the past about her struggles with depression and bipolar disorder but after decades working on herself, she feels she has finally found "true balance and steadiness" and knows how to cope with bad days. She told People magazine: 'Nobody ever thinks that I'm going to struggle. [They think] I'll be fine — 'It's Linda Hamilton'. 'I have found just true balance and steadiness in my day and in my life. And I also can activate all of the safeguards that I learned from 20 years of therapy. "If I'm having a bad day, that doesn't mean that my behaviour has to be bad or that my actions [have to be]. "I'm experienced enough now to go, 'Well, [doing] that might sound good right now, but really in an hour, are you going to want to have done that?' 'I can apply the brakes because I spent years and years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get better." The 68-year-old star has found contentment by focusing on other people more than herself. She said: 'I never think about myself. That was the first 40 years. "And when I got the balance, I made a deal with myself that it would never be about me again. And it hardly ever is. It's just not about me. "I want to pitch in, help people, make people laugh, make my house beautiful. The normal things. Love my dogs to death. [And] it all makes me very happy." Linda joked she was a "hot mess" for the first 40 years of her life and urged those struggling with their own mental health to keep going. She said: 'People just can't give up on themselves. That's the thing. It's just keep looking until you find your way through it. I'm living proof that it can be done. And I was a hot mess for the first 40 years.' The Stranger Things actress revealed in 2004 she had both depression and bipolar disorder, but it took her a long time to understand why she was experiencing intense mood swings. She said: 'I would say [I had] 20 full years of symptoms, not counting my childhood. From 20 to 40. I call them my lost years. 'My first husband [actor Bruce Abbott] said you have the most incredible joy and the most incredible sorrow that goes with it. Without giving it a name, he had pretty much summed it up for me."

Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray give 'bad advice' to each other
Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray give one another "notoriously bad advice". The Vampire hitmaker and her 26-year-old pal are always happy to play their new music to one another but because they are so "close", they find it difficult to give the right feedback and have ended up being spectacularly wrong on occasion. Speaking in conversation for Interview magazine, Olivia, 22, said to Conan: "We notoriously give each other bad advice sometimes about samples. "On Superache, you played me Memories, which turned out to be the biggest hit on the album. "Everyone loved it. And I remember hearing it for the first time being like, 'I just think you have better songs.' "When I played you Guts, I played you Vampire and I was like, 'Isn't this good?' And he's like, 'Not for a first single.' "We're notoriously wrong about each other's songs. We're just too close to it and can't see the forest of the trees." Olivia recalled feeling worried about Conan when he was making his latest album Wishbone because she felt he had gotten too "obsessed" - but was thrilled when she heard the end result. She admitted: "To be honest, I remember being a little worried. You seemed so obsessed with this album and you weren't doing anything else. "You were just eating, breathing, and sleeping this album. And I'm like, 'Oh, I just don't know if that's really healthy'. "Sometimes when I do that, I just don't write good songs. "And I remember when you first played me the demos, I was like, 'Damn, these are so good.' "It all sounded great in theory, but until I heard the demos, I didn't really fully contextualise it. And I remember hearing it and being like, 'Wow.' "I just remember being so proud of you. "And I remember being like, 'You better promote this album. Every breakfast you have, I want it to be on a morning show. Every conversation you have is going to be on a podcast because this album has got to be heard.' "

Alan Cumming: The Traitors features utter carnage
Alan Cumming believes contestants on The Traitors need "balls of steel". The 60-year-old actor hosts the reality game show, and Alan has teased details of the upcoming season. Speaking to E! News about the new season, Alan explained: "About halfway through, there is a scene in it that is the greatest moment in Traitors history. Honestly, I just cannot wait for the world to see it. It's utter carnage and utter just mad. It's just brilliant." Asked what qualities next season's Traitors need if they want to defeat the Faithfuls, Alan replied: "Balls of steel, first of all. Audacity, boldness and you have to really go for it. But at the same time, don't be too chaotic. So, measured boldness I would say." The last season of the show featured the likes of Dolores Catania, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Zac Efron's brother Dylan Efron. The show is actually filmed a year in advance of it being aired, and Dolores struggled to not spoil the twists and turns. Speaking to E! News after the series three finale, Dolores explained: "Incredibly difficult, I have a huge mouth. But people who watch the show don't want any spoilers." Meanwhile, Alan previously admitted that he loves hosting the hit TV show. The actor observed that "everyone's really obsessed" with The Traitors. He told the Hollywood Reporter: "I really love doing it. I love the fact it's connected with everyone in this way. Everyone's really obsessed by it." Alan is fascinated by the "sociological" elements of the show, too. He shared: "We all lie, but we forget to see when people are lying or have to lie [to us]. It's a sociological thing. We're a secret camera, getting to watch people do stuff we never normally get to [see]." Alan also claimed that he has to lean on his acting background for his hosting role. He said: "I act my socks off in The Traitors, just like I did on The Good Wife, and it's this very juicy thing like I do in the theatre or would do at the Tonys."
