Arnold Schwarzenegger brought his four kids — and Chris Pratt — to the premiere of his Netflix series FUBAR.
A smiling Arnold, 77, walked the red carpet in Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 11, with sons Patrick, 31, and Christopher, 27, daughters Christina, 33, and Katherine, 35, whom he shares with ex-wife Maria Shriver. Also on the carpet: Katherine’s husband, Pratt, 45.
The second season of FUBAR premieres Thursday, June 12. Arnold plays CIA operative Luke Brunner in the show, which costars Monica Barbaro, Carrie-Anne Moss and Gabriel Luna.
Since Arnold entered the spotlight in the 1980s, The Terminator star (and former California governor) has watched his family follow in his famous footsteps. Katherine is a self-help and children’s book author; Christina is a producer, and Patrick, an actor and model, most recently starred in The White Lotus.
Arnold has a fifth child, Joseph Baena, whom he shares with the family’s former housekeeper Mildred “Patty” Baena. Their affair prompted Shriver, 69, to file for divorce from the Twins actor in July 2011 after 25 years of marriage.
Earlier this month, Arnold and Patrick discussed Patrick’s notable nude scene from The White Lotus season 3 premiere in their Variety Actors on Actors interview. “I couldn’t believe [it],” Arnold remarked of his son’s risqué scene. “I said to myself, ‘I’m watching your show, and I’m watching your butt sticking out there.’ And all of a sudden, I see the weenie. [I said,] ‘What is going on here? This is crazy.’”
However, Arnold realized that his thoughts were hypocritical, as he has filmed nude scenes of his own over the years. “Then I said to myself, ‘Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan [the Barbarian] and Terminator, so don’t complain about it,’” he told his son. “But it was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely.”
Patrick played Saxon Ratliff on the scandalous series, which premiered in February. In addition to his nudity, Saxon made headlines for jaw-dropping moments that included instances of incest with his character’s brother, Lochlan (Sam Nivola).
Phillip Faraone/Getty Images Patrick Schwarzenegger is addressing speculation that his famous parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, somehow helped him land a role in season 3 of The White Lotus. “I know there are people who’ll say I only got this role because of who my dad is,” Patrick, 31, told The Sunday Times in […]
“Now everyone is coming up to me in the gym and saying, ‘Your son is fantastic,’” Arnold said. “Someone else comes up to me and says, ‘I hated your son in the series,’” he quipped. “Hated him? What kind of a compliment is that? They said, ‘He was fantastic, but the character he played was so believable.’”
