Patrick Schwarzenegger Goes Nude In ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 Premiere

Patrick Schwarzenegger made a bold entrance in The White Lotus season three premiere, leaving little to the imagination in a risqué scene that has already sparked conversation.

The 31-year-old actor plays Saxon Ratliff, a wealthy vacationer staying at the luxurious Thai resort featured in the HBO series. His character’s introduction includes a fully nude moment as he discusses his younger brother’s lack of sexual experience.

In the Feb. 16 episode, Saxon tries to encourage his brother Lochlan (Sam Nivola) to embrace his sexuality. “She’s pretty hot,” Saxon says of their sister Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook), adding, “but I don’t think she’s ever been laid before.” He then turns his attention to Lochlan, telling him, “You’re smart and good-looking. We need to buff you up, but you’ve got so much ammo… Get laid, get everything. I’m gonna help you.”

Saxon then pulls up adult content on his iPad and casually asks, “So, what kind of porn you like? Hot teacher?” before making an explicit remark about his own plans for the night. He strolls to the bathroom, showing his bare backside before a mirror shot briefly exposes him fully.

Schwarzenegger admitted he has no plans to watch the episode with his famous parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.

“I have not told them anything, but there are scenes that I will not be watching with them,” he said. “I’m leaving for this episode or these episodes.”

Still, his father had a humorous reaction. “What a show!” Arnold wrote on Instagram. “I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

Schwarzenegger described working with series creator Mike White as a “dream come true” and teased that the season finale is “nuts,” promising fans plenty of plot-twists ahead.
