Maria Shriver would like to set the record straight about the differences between her son and the character he plays on “The White Lotus.”
Patrick Schwarzenegger, Shriver’s son with former California governor and action movie legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, plays Saxon Ratliff, a toxic Southern finance bro who has had some jaw-dropping scenes on the current season of the HBO hit.
“Patrick is not like Saxon,” Shriver told Savannah Guthrie on "TODAY" on April 1. “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?’”
Schwarzenegger, 31, has also experienced fans conflating him with Saxon, whom he said is a “weird and creepy kind of guy” in an interview with TODAY.com in March.
He said that after a nude scene in Episode One, someone asked him, “Dude, you really like that with your brother?”
