Los Angeles, June 3 -- Icon Arnold Schwarzenegger is all praise for his son Patrick, who impressed many with his performance in the third season of 'The White Lotus'.

Speaking to Variety, Arnold said, "The name Schwarzenegger always meant a big plus. And then all of a sudden it can be an obstacle... You have never asked me to call a studio or to call an agent. You never asked me for advice when it comes to acting itself. You're a rare breed, and I'm very proud of you."

Arnold also shared that many people came to him in the gym and heaped praises on his son.

"Now everyone is coming up to me in the gym and saying, 'Your son is fantastic' Someone else comes up to me" and says, "I hated your son in the series," he said.
