Patrick Schwarzenegger filmed one of the most talked-about scenes on television this year when he engaged in an incestuous threesome with his on-screen brother on “The White Lotus.”
But the actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he had “zero trepidation” about filming the eyebrow-raising plotline.
“I mean, like, were there nerves? Yes. But you know, at the end of the day that’s not me,” Schwarzenegger said in an interview published last week.
“I’m playing someone else, and I have to stay true to the storyline and to that character,” he said, adding that he “just put my faith in trust into Mike [White] as the creator and writer and showrunner.”

“He was really patient and got me through any awkwardness. It was fine,” the actor added. “I knew it was going to be controversial, but Mike knows what he’s doing. The whole thing stirred up a lot of conversations and interest in the show, for better or worse, but it ended up being great.”
Schwarzenegger has previously said that he found filming the provocative scene “fun” in some ways.
“As an actor, playing the most uncomfortable scenes is the most fun because they are the biggest challenge,” the 31-year-old told C Magazine.

“I’m not saying that scene was the most fun, but it’s fun to push yourself and put yourself in uncomfortable positions because then you learn,” he added.
