Arnold Schwarzenegger Grills Son Patrick on Why He Thinks His Last Name Was an 'Obstacle' in Hollywood
In the past few years, the 'nepo baby' debate has been all the rage. And while some celebrity kids have been candid about the opportunities they've been given because of just who they are, others have insisted that being a 'nepo baby' isn't quite as luxurious as it seems. For Patrick Schwarzenegger, who recently made a name for himself in the third season of The White Lotus, his journey has been a mixed bag – and dad Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to grill him on it. More from SheKnows The Most Popular Celebrity Teen Is Worth a Staggering $250 Million, According to a New Study In their new 'Actors on Actors' for Variety, Arnold asked his son about a quote of his from the past, claiming that having their famous last name was 'difficult.' 'Explain that to me, because to me, the name Schwarzenegger always meant a big plus,' Arnold said. 'And then all of a sudden you were talking about [how] it can be an obstacle.' For his answer, Patrick, who's also starred in other known projects like The Staircase and Gen V, talked about his audition process with White Lotus creator Mike White. 'I feel it in multiple different ways,' he told his dad. 'Mike White said that it comes with baggage, the idea that when you have successful parents like I do with you and Mom [Maria Shriver], there's an added level of what other people think.' As fans of the show know, Patrick was eventually cast as Saxson Ratliff, the older and most know-it-all son of Victoria (Parker Posey) and Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs). 'Mike was worried about if he cast me, what other people would think,' Patrick continued. 'Which they did — they did care about that; people said I got the role because of you and Mom.' Patrick then revealed that he once considered changing his last name. 'There were times earlier in my career where I was wondering, does it make sense to go under an alias?' he said. '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.' Luckily, it seems Patrick never addressed the thought to his dad, who might've been hurt by name change. 'I'm glad you kept the name, because now I can take credit,' Arnold joked. '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.' Patrick then finished the thought by expressing his gratitude for all the opportunities his parents have given him over the years. 'I understand how hard you and Mom have worked throughout your life to give me the opportunities that I've had,' he said. The biggest advice you gave us kids is to work hard. I've tried to honor that.' Whether you're a fan of the generation of 'nepo babies' or not, honoring your parents is surely something most of us can relate to.

Gen V Season 2 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Jaz Sinclair & Lizze Broadway's satirical superhero saga
Gen V Season 2 OTT Release Date: Brace yourselves, Godolkin University is back in session, and this semester, the syllabus includes blood, betrayal, and battle drills. In a world where capes don't mean kindness and campus life is more Hunger Games than Harvard, Gen V Season 2 storms back with more chaos, conspiracies, and character arcs that cut deeper than Marie's blood-bending powers. The satirical superhero saga is set to stream on Prime Video starting September 17, 2025. The season will kick off with a three-episode premiere, followed by weekly releases every Wednesday, culminating in the season finale on October 22, 2025. More about Gen V Season 2 Set in the aftermath of The Boys Season 4, the new season of Gen V plunges us back into the troublesome world of Godolkin University. The institution, now under the leadership of the enigmatic Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater), has shifted its focus from nurturing heroes to training Supes as soldiers. This militarised approach reflects the broader societal tensions, with the United States under the authoritarian influence of Homelander. Our protagonists Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), Jordan Li (London Thor and Derek Luh), and Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) return to a barely recognisable campus. Once a place of learning, Godolkin has become a battleground of ideologies, with students subjected to brutal training exercises reminiscent of a dystopian fight club. Meet the cast and characters of Gen V Season 2 The ensemble also includes Maddie Phillips and Sean Patrick Thomas, with Hamish Linklater joining the cast as Dean Cipher, the new head of Godolkin University. Additionally, Chace Crawford reprises his role as The Deep from The Boys, further intertwining the narratives of the two series. The season also addresses the tragic passing of Chance Perdomo, who portrayed Andre Anderson. The production of Gen V Season 2 faced delays due to the untimely death of Chance Perdomo in March 2024. Filming commenced in May 2024 and concluded in October of the same year. The series is helmed by showrunner Michele Fazekas, with Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg serving as executive producers.

Gen V returns to Amazon for season 2 this September
While we're still a ways out from The Boys returning to Amazon for its fifth season, the franchise's spinoff series, Gen V, will be back this fall. At this year's CCXP convention in Mexico, Amazon announced that Gen V is set to return for its second season on September 17th with a three episode premiere. Along with the premiere date news, Amazon also released a new trailer teasing some of the challenges Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Emma (Lizze Broadway), Jordan (London Thor and Derek Luh), are going to be up against as they return for another year of studying at Godolkin University. With the White House now effectively under Homelander's control, Godolkin has become a very different, even more sinister place where a large chunk of the superpowered student body is coming around on the idea that regular humans are inferior beings. That's the message Godolkin's new dean, Cipher (Hamish Linklater) wants his students to take to heart as they learn to wield their powers by participating in what looks like a school-sanctioned fight club. But it's hard for Marie and her friends to see Cipher as anything but an enemy given how the university locked them away for trying to stop Sam (Asa Germann) and Cate (Maddie Phillips) from murdering people without abilities. Though Gen V 's younger character will be the primary focus this season, the trailer also makes clear that the new season will spend more time with Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas) as he investigates the death of his son Andre (Chance Perdromo, who died in a motorcycle accident last March ahead of the season's production starting.) Suffice to say that things aren't looking great for the Gen V kids, but as dire as the situation is about to get, it looks like they won't be going down without a fight when we see them again this fall.
