"I am a mommy's boy. My dad would say it too," reveals Hollywood's young star, Patrick Schwarzenegger, in an open and heartwarming discussion. The USC grad speaks candidly about family life, his role in HBO's "The Staircase," and his own thoughts on the true crime it dramatizes.
The Schwarzenegger Clan: A Close-Knit Family
"We have Sunday dinners at [Shriver's] house every week. My mom, she's my everything," Patrick told Page Six at the premiere of HBO's "The Staircase." The love for his mother, Maria Shriver, is evident, and the same goes for his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his quirky home life.
"He's in that like three-quarter life, not crisis, but mode, where he's like, 'I'm going to enjoy living at home with my weird animals, donkey and dwarf pony.' He's having fun," Patrick explained about his father, as reported by Page Six.
A Thrilling Performance in 'The Staircase'
Patrick stars in "The Staircase," a dramatization of the Netflix documentary that explored the 2001 trial of novelist Michael Peterson, accused of killing his wife. Patrick was stunned by co-star Colin Firth's performance.
"The first day that we were on set and he turned into Michael Peterson from Colin, I almost couldn't speak because it was so mind-blowing how much he embodied him physically, body language, his dialect," Patrick elaborated.
Regarding Peterson's guilt or innocence, he admits, "I think guilty," while appreciating the twists and turns of the true-crime series that provoke debate among viewers.
Patrick's personal life also seems to be thriving, as he has been dating Abby Champion since 2016. He's a promising talent who's not just following in his parents' footsteps but forging his own path.
The family that dines together, shines together, and Patrick's closeness to both his parents is heartwarming. From dinner at Maria Shriver's house to embracing his father's eccentric ways, Patrick Schwarzenegger is indeed a name to watch out for.
