Patrick Schwarzenegger defended the unusual dynamic between his character Saxon and his brother Lochlan in The White Lotus, which has drawn mixed reactions from fans. Critics have expressed concern over scenes that some interpret as hinting at incest, particularly those showing nudity. Schwarzenegger argued that their closeness signifies love and care, despite appearing 'odd and weird.' He emphasized that Saxon tries to groom Lochlan based on his own skewed notions of masculinity, adding layers of complexity to their sibling bond throughout the storyline.
The relationship, although "very odd and weird", is "very loving at the same time". Saxon has a false perception of masculinity shaped by his upbringing.
We tried to create that dynamic: the closeness, but the oddness, the weirdness we thought was normal, the older brother to younger brother relationship.
