In a recent interview, Patrick Schwarzenegger addressed accusations of nepotism regarding his role in 'The White Lotus,' emphasizing his dedication to the craft of acting over the influence of his famous parents. Despite having a prominent lineage, he pointed out his decade of acting classes and numerous audition rejections, expressing frustration at assumptions about his success. Nevertheless, he remains grateful for his upbringing and the values instilled by his family. Patrick considers his casting in the popular series a dream come true, showcasing his ambition and talent as an actor.
"I know there are people who'll say I only got this role because of who my dad is. They're not seeing that I've had 10 years of acting classes, put on [high] school plays every week..."
"Of course, it's frustrating and you can get boxed in and you think at that moment, I wish I didn't have my last name. But, that's a small moment."
"I would never trade my life with anyone. I'm very fortunate to have the life and family that I have..."
"I thought, there's no way I'm going to get this, everybody is up for this. I’ve been a massive fan of the show since day one. It was my dream goal, I think I manifested it."
