Los Angeles, May 30 (NationPress) Actor Jason Isaacs shared his initial impressions of his co-star from The White Lotus, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and he was surprised to find them incorrect.
During a recent episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware, Isaacs spoke about his fellow cast member, who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.
"The people I connected with? My on-screen kids: Patrick (Schwarzenegger), Sam (Nivola), and Sarah Catherine (Hook). I grew to love them immensely. We are in constant touch via text messages," Isaacs remarked about the actors portraying his children on the show.
Isaacs, who took on the role of Timothy Ratliff, described the trio as "gorgeous people," according to people.com.
“I didn't anticipate Patrick being so nice, considering he’s the child of a renowned movie star, yet he turned out to be a truly grounded and wonderful individual. All three of them are fantastic,” Isaacs noted, adding that he also formed friendships with Christian Friedel and Jon Gries.
Patrick plays Saxson Ratliff, the eldest child of Timothy and Victoria (played by Parker Posey), who is employed at his father's company in season 3 of The White Lotus.
He expressed to E! News in November 2024, "Collaborating with Mike White and being part of this project has been a dream come true. The experience was surreal and transformative, learning alongside such talented actors."
Upon Patrick's casting announcement for the third season, his mother, aged 69, joyfully shared her enthusiasm on Instagram, commenting, "All that hard work and determination is truly paying off!"
"I can’t wait to visit you on set (am I allowed to do that?) and I’m eager to get all the spoilers from you (you'll tell me, right? After all, I am your mother!) Wow, wow, wow! See you at The White Lotus! #proudmomalert," Shriver added in her heartfelt message.
