Fame certainly manifests in interesting ways — just ask Patrick Schwarzenegger.

After Kelly Ripa asked the actor how his life has changed since his “pivotal White Lotus role” on Friday’s Live with Kelly and Mark, Schwarzenegger admitted that “it’s been a whirlwind.”

Ripa teased, “Do people think you’re a weirdo now?”

Schwarzenegger replied, “I don’t know about a weirdo. Yeah, I mean some people do.”

The actor said that he’s gotten people calling him “Saxon,” his character’s name, down the street, and conceded that he’s “had some weird experiences” — including one with his friend and Mark Consuelos‘ Riverdale co-star, KJ Apa.

“And we were, I don’t know, I hope this is PG enough,” Schwarzenegger prefaced.

After Ripa and Consuelos urged him to “go for it,” Schwarzenegger recalled working out with Apa at the gym, when another gym goer approached him.

“I’m not making this up,” he continued. “[He] goes, ‘Hey, I’m such a big fan. I watched White Lotus. It was amazing.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, thank you, thank you.’ And he was like, ‘But I had to come over and say something to you.’ And I was like, ‘Okay.’ And he was like, ‘My boyfriend just booked playing Saxon Ratliff in the new Tight Lotus.'”

As laughter gradually erupted from the audience, Ripa asked, “What is that? What’s the Tight Lotus and how do I get one?”

Consuelos chimed in to fill in the blanks for Ripa.

“I would say that is, as my mom would say,” he explained, before switching to an Italian accent, “a porno.”

Schwarzenegger added, “Yeah.”

Ripa and Consuelos burst into laughter along with the audience, as the latter quipped, “Hey dude, you know you made it.”

Ripa agreed, “That’s when you know.”

Schwarzenegger recalled, “My mouth was on the floor. I said, ‘Excuse me?’ And he goes, he’s portraying you in the Tight Lotus.’ I said, ‘Uh, okay.'”
