Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, expressed frustration over the "nepo baby" label, asserting his success stems from years of dedicated acting training. In an interview, he acknowledged the perception that his acting roles are purely due to his father's fame but detailed his commitment, including a decade of training and numerous auditions. While he sometimes wishes for anonymity to escape scrutiny, he values the life lessons from his parents and does not regret his background, opting to distance himself from his father's talent management.
"I know there are people who'll say I only got this role because of who my dad is... I've had ten years of acting classes, put on [high] school plays every week."
"Of course, it's frustrating and you can get boxed in... I wish I didn't have my last name. But that's a small moment. I would never trade my life."
