Patrick Schwarzenegger Says White Lotus Incest Scene Was Easy After Practicing With Dad All His Life

HOLLYWOOD, CA - Sunday night’s episode of the highly anticipated new season of White Lotus left fans reeling when Saxon Ratliff, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger (son of Arnold Schwarzenegger), shared multiple kisses with his on-screen brother Lochlan during a drug- and booze-fueled boat party.

While subtle hints of an incestuous subplot had been simmering in earlier episodes, the explicit scene caught many viewers off guard, sparking curiosity about what it was like to film such an unconventional moment. 

According to Patrick Schwarzenegger, locking lips with a male family member felt surprisingly natural—thanks to years of bedtime kisses from his famous father.  

“Everyone knew my father was a strong, powerful man,” Schwarzenegger said in an interview. “But at home, he was a softie who loved me and my siblings deeply. Each night before bed he would shout ‘Patrick, get ova heere and give me a beeg kizz.’ He did that until we were like 18. It was just one of those silly Austrian traditions.” 

The actor then went on to tease that if fans found the smooch in episode 4 shocking, they should brace themselves from the mental penetration they’d get in episode 5, refusing to dump out any more details. 

At press time, Schwarzenegger’s mom, Maria Shriver, was seen congratulating him for the success of the show with a hand job during a red carpet event.
