Patrick Schwarzenegger Reveals Inspired ‘White Lotus’ Wrap Gift
Patrick Schwarzenegger revealed to InStyle the inspired wrap gift he gave to his White Lotus season three co-stars.
Schwarzenegger made the reveal in a video posted to the outlet’s Instagram page. In the clip, the 31-year-old actor unfurls a T-shirt which he designed that features caricatures of himself and the rest of season three’s star-studded cast, including Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, and Aimee Lou Wood. The cast is backed by serene vistas of palm trees, a beach, and monkeys. Schwarzenegger even found room for the series’ creator and director. "And there's Mike White in the middle with his director's chair, with his big microphone," he laughed.
Schwarzenegger consistently made headlines for his fearless performance in the third season of HBO’s megahit series. He grabbed attention with a surprising nude scene early on in the season before nearly sending fans into fits with a controversial encounter between himself and his on-screen brother (Sam Nivola).

Schwarzenegger told People that he and his on-screen family — including parents Isaacs and Posey and sister Sarah Catherine Hooks — were so committed to being a realistic unit that White was somewhat put off. "We hung out as a family so much that Mike [White] came to us three weeks in, and he was like, ‘You guys can chill out with the family thing.’”
The actor later told Deadline that he "literally cried” while filming the season’s violent conclusion. “During the end of it, I just looked over at Aimee [Lou Wood], and I just grabbed her hand. I think, partly because she dies, and then our relationship, just like in real life…it also was kind of just the closure of this chapter of my life."
