Maria Shriver clarified misconceptions about her son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays Saxon Ratliff on HBO's "The White Lotus." While Saxon is portrayed as a toxic, creepy finance bro, Shriver emphasized that Patrick's character does not reflect his real personality. In interviews, Patrick expressed frustration over being conflated with his on-screen role, noting the absurdity of questions about his character's controversial scenes. Amidst the buzz, Shriver humorously remarked that the focus on Patrick's role overshadows her new book, revealing her struggle with the public's obsession with Saxon rather than her own work.
"Patrick is not like Saxon. I just want to clear that up because people say, 'Is Patrick like Saxon?' I'm like, 'Do you think I would've raised a Saxon?'"
"No! But, you also can't control what everybody thinks." Patrick responded about fans conflating him with his character.
"I'm going to change the name of the book (to) 'I Am Patrick's Mother,' because all anybody wants to talk to me about is Saxon."
"I did know that was coming. He kind of warned me, but not really warned me. That's between me and Patrick."
