Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, is currently acting in HBO's 'The White Lotus.' He addressed the skepticism around his success tied to his famous lineage, expressing frustrations about being boxed in by his last name. Despite stating his commitment to acting through years of training and auditions, he recognized the challenges posed by perceptions of nepotism. The backlash from critics highlights the ongoing debate about privilege in Hollywood, suggesting that public reactions may not fully appreciate his journey and aspirations.
"I know there are people who'll say I only got this role because of who my dad is... I've had 10 years of acting classes..."
"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."
