Chris Pratt, a Hollywood star, admitted to watching his brother-in-law Patrick Schwarzenegger and joked that he was looking at his “d–k” during a steamy nude scene in HBO’s “The White Lotus.”
The 45-year-old actor, known for his roles in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World,” confessed on Feb. 24 at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film, “The Electric Slate”. When asked about the scene with his 31-year-old brother-in-law, Pratt admitted he was staring at Patrick’s manhood.
“I know where my eyes went,” he joked with E! News. “I am not blood-related to him, I was looking at that d–k, bro.”
Pratt, who is married to Patrick’s sister, Katherine Schwarzenegger, later complimented Patrick on his performance in the first episode of The White Lotus’ third season.
“Obviously, he is a physical specimen, but also, he is a really solid actor because the character he is playing is completely different than who he is,” he said.
The scene in question shows Patrick’s character, Saxon Ratliff, undressing in his hotel room and walking naked into the bathroom. While a sink faucet strategically obscured the actor’s genitals, his backside was clearly visible to viewers.
Pratt was not the only family member to have commented on Patrick’s risque scene. The 31-year-old actor’s parents praised him for his bravery.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, an action movie legend, said he was not surprised by Patrick’s decision to go ahead with the nude scene, adding that “apple does not fall far from the tree.” His mother, Maria Shriver, took a more modest approach, telling PEOPLE that he was focused on his son’s face.
Patrick is the eldest son of Timothy (Jason Isaacs) and Victoria (Parker Posey), a wealthy North Carolina family visiting a luxury resort in Thailand.
He is described as a “complete flirt” and “alpha male” who works for his father’s business. Saxon is portrayed as an egotistical and problematic figure who has no genuine respect for women and engages in creepy behavior, including uncomfortable interactions with his siblings.
