Patrick Schwarzenegger said his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was going through a particular type of "midlife crisis" during a recent podcast interview.

Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31, is an actor as well and has had roles in The Staircase and American Sports Story, and currently stars in The White Lotus. What To Know On Thursday's episode of Literally! With Rob Lowe, host Rob Lowe brought up Patrick Schwarzenegger's famous father and his love of animals. "I love that Arnold has the mini horse and the pig... it makes me want to do that," The West Wing star, 61, said. "He has totally embraced this new act of life. It's just, he's such a Doctor Dolittle meets kind of like this midlife crisis, but happiness and calmer side of life. It's really funny," Patrick Schwarzenegger said.

More; Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic The California native continued: "You've seen it, but this picture of him holding court at his dinner table with a cigar in his mouth and the miniature donkey behind him on the right side, and the miniature pony on the left side, and the pig right below his feet eating, and then the little Chihuahua on his lap, and then the massive 180-pound malamute husky over there next to the horse. And then the other—what's it called?—dog. That's 150 kg. It's just like they have all of them surrounding Arnold." Patrick Schwarzenegger added that his dad's animals are cooked homemade meals. "He has certain meals, he has the oatmeal cookies, the homemade oatmeal cookies that are good for the horses. He's got special meals for the dog. He's got the soup that the pig loves. It's just it's out of a movie. It really is." Lowe shared that Brian Grazer—a producer with credits on films like Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind—"has a movie he's developing about Arnold and the animals." "Every time I see Brian—I've had Brian on the show—I keep saying, 'What's going on with the Arnold animal movie?' Because honestly, I don't know anything I'd rather see than a movie about Arnold and his animals. I really don't. I am so down to see that." "I saw him literally yesterday and he brought it up," Patrick Schwarzenegger replied. "I'm hoping that it happens." The pair then went on to tease Arnold Schwarzenegger about his dress sense. "When did Arnold start dressing like Adam Sandler? When did that happen?" Lowe asked. "I make fun of Arnold more than anyone for the outfits he wears," Patrick Schwarzenegger said, before noting that his father went to a recent photo shoot for Netflix's FUBAR without wardrobe, so they shot him "how he's dressed." "I was like, I bet you he has a cigar and he's got a T-shirt of himself on. And he sent the photo, and it was literally a photo of himself with the shirt of himself, with a photo of himself in the background. I was just like, it doesn't get any, any better." "There's no one I love more for living his best life than your dad," Lowe said. What People Are Saying Lowe promoted the podcast on Instagram, and fans shared their excitement over the interview in the comments. Instagram user hermanator70 wrote: "Fun podcast." @jessicaskelton13 shared: "This is amazing." @mattvanleer21 said: "Just seen this one. Loved it so much Mr Lowe. We just [finished] watching White Lotus season 3. [Your] friend was mind blowing in it." @trulyafitz chimed in: "FINALLY!" What Happens Next FUBAR Season 2 will be available on Netflix on June 12. All episodes of The White Lotus are currently available to stream on Max. New episodes of SiriusXM's Literally! With Rob Lowe are available every Thursday on the SiriusXM app and wherever podcasts are available.

Arnold Schwarzenegger cracks rare joke about Maria Shriver — and the film residuals she still asks for
He's got jokes. Arnold Schwarzenegger made a rare comment about ex-wife Maria Shriver while promoting his newest holiday movie, 'The Man With the Bag,' at Amazon's Upfront 2025 Presentation in New York City on Monday. The 77-year-old 'Terminator' star likened the upcoming flick to another Christmas classic he starred in, 'Jingle All the Way.' He then poked fun at Shriver, who filed for divorce from Schwarzenegger in 2011 after 25 years of marriage.

Hungarian filmmakers in the shadow of Trump's tariff threat
Earlier this week, the US President Donald Trump posted on his social media site that he plans to impose a 100 per cent tariff on films produced outside the United States. "The US film industry is dying at a rapid pace. Other countries are offering all sorts of incentives to lure filmmakers and studios away from the U.S. (...) Therefore, I am authorising the Department of Commerce to immediately begin the process of imposing a 100 per cent tariff on all foreign-made films coming into our country," Donald Trump said in his post. Back in 2010, soon after becoming Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán overhauled the film support system after 2010, with Hollywood producer Andy Vajna (Rambo, Total Recall, Evita) at the centre of the reforms. Vajna set up a new system of state support for Hungarian films, with a greater emphasis on saleability. He also used his connections to bring Hungarian artists into the fold, resulting in a new Hungarian Oscar after decades and a good showing for Hungarian films at the Cannes Film Festival. The Hungarian state gave a corporate tax credit of 25 per cent and then 30 per cent on production costs in Hungary, with the aim of benefiting the domestic production base. Several large studios were set up, professional crews strengthened, and income from foreign labour increased. Vajna's death in 2019 has left a noticeable dent in the support system for Hungarian films, which has recorded fewer international successes. Still, the growth of Hungarian production companies has not slowed. Between 2018 and 2023, service revenues quadrupled, with government film commissioner Csaba Káel estimating they will reach nearly $1 billion. Around 85-90 per cent of Hungarian film spending is US-sourced, writes Károly Radnai, managing partner of Andersen Adótanácsadó Zrt. Despite accounting for 90% of the revenues of the Hungarian film industry, which employs 20,000 people and is also identified by Prime Minister Orbán as a strategic sector, film industry players reached by Euronews are taking a wait-and-see stance. "The intention to make more films in the United States and export fewer films overseas is not something that has just been invented, but has been heard louder and louder for 4-5 years," Mihály Tóth, marketing director of Origo Flmstúdió, told Euronews. The current situation is an exclamation mark: we understand that there is such a need. We also want more films to be shot in Hungary. " "The decision to shoot American films in Hungary was not made by us, but by American filmmakers, on the simple basis of where a film can be produced most efficiently. Nobody understands the kind of customs clearance system that is now being suggested, because you can't tax a cultural product in this way," added Mihály Tóth. He also had questions for Gergő Balika, producer of Mid Atlantic Films, who told Euronews that he did not know the basis for the duty. What qualifies as a foreign-made film? Would the duty apply only to cinema films, or would it also apply to works made for streaming? Balika also stressed that even a film shot in Hungary has a myriad of work processes in the US. Overall, he said that this is now a tentative announcement, which shows the direction of US intentions, but details are still to be seen. The problem is also theoretical at the moment because making a film is a long process. According to Mihály Tóth, Origo's clients are undoubtful, and that the work in progress must continue. How the rules will change along the way and the timing of these changes remain to be seen, but work has to continue in the meantime. "Today's rain will affect the filming outside more than this announcement," Mihály Tóth told Euronews. Like him, Gergő Balika also sees it as unlikely that production of big productions that are already booked (such as the next two seasons of the 3-body-problem) will be brought back to the US. However, several sources have pointed out that the global film industry cannot be pinned down. A Mission: Impossible or a James Bond movie is not shot in one country, and that will not change. "For example, filming a Harry Potter movie requires a medieval castle. It costs more money to build that than to go to a castle and shoot a scene there. To suddenly have medieval castles in a country where there are none, you can't expect that, because economically it doesn't go anywhere," said Mihály Tóth. Csaba Káel, the head of the Hungarian National Film Institute, the central organisation of the Hungarian film industry, expressed a similar view in a one-paragraph statement. "Hungarian film studios are currently full of international and domestic productions. Working out the details of possible US safeguard tariffs affecting the domestic film industry and their introduction is a longer process. In the meantime, we are discussing further cooperation and co-production opportunities with our foreign partners on several continents around the world that will benefit the Hungarian film industry." The fluidity of the issue is reflected by the fact that President Trump later promised to hold talks with representatives of the US film industry, and the White House said that no final decision on tariffs for films made abroad has yet been made. Responding to questions from journalists, Trump stressed that film production and the relocation of filming abroad had "decimated" the US film industry and that he wanted to help, not harm, the industry, which receives financial and other support abroad. "We are watching the international news. What I was really looking forward to was the reaction from the United States, and the governor of California said that California has a successful support model, so why don't they take it to the federal level? This kind of reaction is a good message, structural problems should be addressed locally," said Mihály Tóth. However, Gergő Balika thinks the US government may eventually pressure studios to keep more of their film production work at home. According to Károly Radnai, managing partner of Andersen Adótanácsadó Zrt, the real target may not be Hungary, but Canada, the UK and Australia. As it is a service, the problem cannot be dealt with by classical customs measures, which means that Hungary can negotiate with the US independently of the EU for facilitations or exemptions. "It would be important," Radnai writes, "for the Hungarian government to act as soon as possible and use the good relations with the Trump administration to assert our country's interests diplomatically." Is Harry Styles now living in Berlin? According to the German daily tabloid Bild, the British singer has bought a flat in the capital - and TikTok users report having spotted him in Berlin-Mitte: dressed in blue, friendly, generous - he is even said to have paid for taxis for strangers. But why is Harry Styles really in Berlin? A source revealed to Britain's The Sun newspaper that the pop star is currently working on a new album. And why Berlin of all places? Styles is following in the footsteps of one of Britain's greatest music legends: David Bowie. The singer has been spotted several times with producer Kid Harpoon - the man behind his hit album Harry's House from 2022, including the global number one hit "As It Was", the best-selling song of the year worldwide. "Harry wanted to take a break after the mega-success of his last tour and the release of Harry's House," says the inside source. "Now he's working hard on his next album - and like Bowie once did, Berlin seems to inspire him. Harry loves the mysterious. Just like Bowie used to." David Bowie lived in Berlin's Schöneberg neighbourhood between 1976 and 1978 - a time that shaped him both musically and personally. His iconic song "Heroes", inspired by a pair of lovers at the Berlin Wall, was written during this period. Berlin was a place of retreat for Bowie: far away from the cameras in London and Los Angeles, and far away from the addiction problem that increasingly burdened him. Together with Iggy Pop, he lived in a small flat at 155 Hauptstraße, painted, composed - and sought peace and quiet. "I think Bowie wanted to find himself again in Berlin - and he succeeded," says director Francis Whately, who produced the documentary Bowie in Berlin. Of his so-called "Berlin trilogy", "Heroes" is probably the best known. It's also worth mentioning the atmospheric instrumental piece "Neuköln" (with only one "l"), which has been described by critics as a picture of the mood. Bowie remained connected to the city. In 1987 he returned to play a live concert in West Berlin - so close to the border that many East Berliners gathered along the wall to listen. Bowie heard people on the other side singing along and later called it "one of the most emotional performances I've ever experienced." Bowie also produced the entire soundtrack to the iconic Berlin film Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo, which tells the story of drug-addicted teenagers from Gropiusstadt. The comparison is obvious. Like Bowie, Styles also breaks with gender norms in fashion, wearing skirts, pearl necklaces and silk blouses. But not everyone is convinced. Bowie's former producer criticised the attempt to sell Styles as a "modern Bowie" suggesting the context and zeitgeist were too different. Styles himself, however, has repeatedly described Bowie as a role model; an "absolute hero" who "can do no wrong". Does he consciously place himself in Bowie's tradition? Perhaps. But Berlin today is no longer the Berlin of yesteryear. While Bowie was able to live almost anonymously in Schöneberg, Styles is unlikely to go unnoticed for long in Mitte. Apparently, most Berliners knew who Bowie was - and didn't care. Perhaps Styles, who has already been spotted in Berlin without bodyguards, is hoping for the same kind of anonymity?
