Patrick Schwarzenegger has Hollywood royalty in his genes, so who better to seek acting advice from than his dad, the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger? He opened up about his relationship with his father and gave fans a sneak peek into his upcoming projects in an interview on Smallzy's Celebrity Small Talk podcast, as reported by the Daily Mail in 2021.
Fatherly Advice from the Terminator
"No, he doesn't," Patrick said when asked if his father likes to show him how it's done. However, he added, "if I have questions or if I had advice or want to hear what he has to say, I ask but otherwise no." Ah, fatherly wisdom! The then-27-year-old shared that his father's approach is quite clear-cut: "He is very straightforward. He is what you see. He doesn't beat around the bush. He is who he is, and he's not afraid to speak his mind." If that's not a life lesson in authenticity, what is?
