In a recent interview, Patrick Schwarzenegger opened up about the complexities of growing up as the son of Hollywood icons Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. He expressed that while his famous surname can be burdensome, particularly when critics label him a "nepo baby," he emphasized the years of experience and effort he has committed to his acting career. Schwarzenegger acknowledges the frustrations that come with these perceptions but ultimately feels grateful for his family's influence and values. He also highlights that nepotism exists beyond Hollywood, affecting various sectors like business and tech.
"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..."
"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."
