“I know there are people who’ll say I only got this role because of who my dad is. They’re not seeing that I’ve had 10 years of acting classes, put on [high] school plays every week, worked on my characters for hours on end or the hundreds of rejected auditions I’ve been on. Of course, it’s frustrating and you can get boxed in and you think at that moment, I wish I didn’t have my last name…
But, that’s a small moment. I would never trade my life with anyone. I’m very fortunate to have the life and family that I have, the parents I have and the lessons and values they’ve instilled in me.”
– Star of The White Lotus Season 3 and nepo baby Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Of course he got the role because of his last name. He should accept it, stop whining, and shut up about it. No one wants to hear how unfair your super privileged life is.
Who gives a shit?
I’m sure the name opened doors for him, and got him callbacks, but he’s paid his dues. But why worry? no matter what you do there’s always a sour lemon who’ll try to discredit or marginalise you. I hate people.
