Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, got the part of Golden Boy because of his audition for this competitive character

Did You Know Arnold Schwarzenegger Son Tried Out for This Coveted ‘The Boys’ Character for ‘Gen V’ Before Landing as the Golden Boy?

Arnold Schwarzenegger [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/]
is an established name in the film industry, with a repertoire of over 40 films.
He is not only the quintessential action hero of Hollywood, but is also popular
for being the greatest bodybuilder of all time. And as if it was not enough, the
star also went on to establish his name in politics and the business realm. With
so much success, talent, and power, one can expect him to bag any role he is
interested in now. However, his son does not quite measure up in the same way.

Patrick Schwarzenegger’s recent series Gen V premiered last month. However, not
many people would know that Patrick Schwarzenegger did not initially audition
for the role of Golden Boy, but for a different character.


ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER’S SON WANTED TO PLAY THIS EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE ROLE 

Patrick Schwarzenegger played the Supe Golden Boy in the Prime video series Gen
V. During a 2022 interview with Variety, the 30-year-old revealed
[https://variety.com/2022/streaming/columns/the-staircase-patrick-schwarzenegger-the-boys-spinoff-1235292860/]
that he auditioned for the role of Homelander in the American superhero
television series. However, Anthony Starr eventually bagged the role and became
one of the most memorable characters in the world of Supes. Nevertheless, the
Moxie actor’s audition did not go to waste, as it brought him to the role of
Luke Riordan.

The star exclusively revealed to Variety that the makers remembered Patrick from
his initial audition and offered him the part of Golden Boy. However, they did
not hand him any scripts until he got his confirmation to play the part. In the
interview, Patrick Schwarzenegger also opened up about his father’s reaction to
seeing the debaucherous photos from the sets. Being the strict father as he is,
the former bodybuilder reacted by saying, “What the f**k are you filming?”.

While pictures from the shoot would have been jarring for Arnold to digest, he
also revealed recently on Jimmy Kimmel Live, about his strictness with his son,
Patrick Schwarzenegger. 


ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER IS A STRICT DAD LIKE HIS FATHER 

Arnold Schwarzenegger grew up under the umbrella of a strict Nazi soldier,
Gustav Schwarzenegger. Despite having a little hard time with his father, the
FUBAR star learned the most valuable life lessons from the late police chief.
One of the most important lessons he learned was the importance of being
disciplined and self-reliant in life. Schwarzenegger wanted to teach his
children the same values, even if it meant occasionally being a tad too strict. 



During his latest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the former Californian
Governor revealed the harsh punishments he put his children through
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-arnold-schwarzenegger-admits-he-was-probably-strict-to-gen-v-actor-patrick-schwarzenegger/]
to keep them in check. He shared throwing his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger’s
mattress out the window into the pool because the Gen V star did not make his
bed. The 76-year-old also shared how he taught a lesson to his daughter for not
keeping her outdoor shoes in place by burning them.
