There are a lot offamiliar faces in the cast of “The White Lotus” Season 3.
There’s Jason Isaacs, a “Harry Potter” veteran.
There’s Carrie Coon, breakout star of “The Leftovers.”
There’s even Lalisa Manobal, better known as K-pop superstar Lisa.
Patrick, too, has jumped around the industry.
At times he’s been a model and a clothing entrepreneur, an actor and even a chef.
That’s not to mention his detour as a music video hunk.
Read on for a look at the stunning transformation of Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Patrick Schwarzenegger was born to famous parents
Patrick Schwarzenegger was born in 1993 to two famous parents.
“For a kid, it was like a dream.
It just opened my eyes to the film world.”
Then, when Patrick was 10, his father became governor.
In a 2018 interview withFront Row Features, Patrick explained that this represented quite a change in his life.
“It’s definitely a great experience.
I learned a lot,” he said.
In a 2023 interview withPeople, Arnold recalled an incident when Patrick was a misbehaving tween.
Apparently, Patrick had asked the family’s maids to make his bed, which enraged his father.
Patrick had to go downstairs and lug all his stuff back up to his bedroom.
They also argued over the younger Schwarzenegger’s love of long showers.
His father even installed a German-style timer that shut off the hot water.
And all of a sudden, we heard downstairs, the scream."
In an interview withWWD, the budding entrepreneur said he got his business sense from his parents.
“I’ve learned everything from them.”
It was hugely successful, too, especially for a project launched by a teenager.
Speaking withStartup to Storefront, Schwarzenegger recalled that his first launch involved rubber bracelets, Livestrong-style.
(Gen-Z, ask your millennial friends.)
“I was like, ‘Oh my god, business is so fun.'”
Speaking withDetailsin 2011, he acknowledged that he was at a peculiar moment in his life.
But I also want to follow in my dad’s entrepreneurial footsteps," he said.
Acting, too, would soon follow.
When he was 17, he posed shirtless for Hudson Jeans on a Sunset Strip billboard.
But they all come out really well so I knew I was in good hands."
He also had an eye toward following in his father’s footsteps in Hollywood.
“L.A. Models is setting up a lot of cool stuff for me now.”
Still, even though it wasn’t his ultimate goal, he threw himself into modeling headfirst anyway.
“I have a go at see things in a positive light.
That can be easier said than done,” he said.
“I have a lot of things I want to accomplish.
It’s not about making a lot of money.
It’s about doing what I enjoy.”
His parents didn’t really mind.
After all, the young entrepreneur had charged each attendee $20.
“I easily made [my investment] back,” he reasoned.
After high school, Schwarzenegger matriculated at the University of Southern California to study business and cinematic arts.
He soon ran into even more trouble, finding himself getting kicked out of a club while underage.
“I guess Patrick became annoyed so he started throwing ice at him,” a source toldUs Weekly.
When TMZ published video of him shouting expletives, he apologized onX, formerly Twitter.
“Excuse my language.
I apologize” he wrote.
He added inanother post, “Live and learn, hope everyone has a blessed day.”
In it, Schwarzenegger plays the “Romeo” to Grande’s “Juliet.”
“The director was like, ‘Kiss!
and I was like, ‘No,'” Grande toldExtra.
I felt like it was a very sweet happy ending."
“We shot it for two days, and it was kind of like, this cool moment.
And then she really blew up, blew up after that …
It was a cool experience.”
Though Maria Shriver invested in the parent company fitting!
“It’s been my responsibility to oversee everything,” he said.
He toldTheArnoldFansthat he had a suggestion for his fellow students who wanted a dish inspired by him.
“Just put some meats on there and stack it up.”
It’s one of my best friends girlfriend," he wrote (viaE!
“Would NEVER do anything against my GF.
Girls have guy friends and guys have friends that are girls.”
They broke up just a month later, firmly going their separate ways in April 2015.
A source toldPeoplethat it wasn’t just a break, it was definitely a break-up.
“They’re just in two different places in their lives,” the source said.
“He’s in college and she’s focused on her music and career.”
A tale as old as time.
“It’s either you mesh with the person or you don’t,” he said.
“Me and Bella got along.
… We would go on bike rides and hikes and just do stuff together.”
“Does it open up some doors for me or help me meet people?
Yeah,” he confessed.
Schwarzenegger’s career, in other words, needed a hit.
He was so helpful and willing to work with me so I’ll forever be grateful."

Patrick Schwarzenegger met fiancee Abby Championback in 2015.
“We’re thankful for him because he introduced us,” Champion said.
“[Patrick] swooped in!”

I always say that in a relationship, you have to be each other’s biggest cheerleader.
Build each other up.
And she does that for me."
The relationship has lasted ever since.

“FOREVER AND EVER,” he captioned a photo of Champion showing off a sizable engagement ring.
As of this writing, they still haven’t set a date.
Newsin late 2024, “We’re behind.”
“I was like, dude, this guy would just walk around naked.
This is not the kind of guy who’s wearing pajamas to bed,” he toldThe Hollywood Reporter.
“He sleeps naked and his brother being there is not going to change anything.”
He seems to have enjoyed his experience filming the show.
In an emotionalInstagrampost when filming wrapped, he shared a series of pictures alongside a lengthy caption.
They shot in Thailand, and Schwarzenegger seems to have fallen in love with the country.
“To Thailand thank you for some of the most delicious foods.
The beautiful beaches & water!”
