Netflix's FUBAR proves that action, comedy, and aging gracefully can actually coexist, especially when Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved. With spy games and dad jokes packed into every episode, the series puts Arnold Schwarzenegger back in the spotlight, reminding fans why he is still the big screen’s ultimate tough guy. But recently, the spotlight shifted in an unexpected direction, thanks to a moment that felt less like espionage and more like a proud papa plot twist.

While Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the hero on screen, it was his son who stole the scene in real life, armed with HBO fame and a fan following.

With a face that now graces HBO’s buzziest show, Patrick Schwarzenegger is suddenly the Schwarzenegger fans want selfies with. Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed during an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers how fame shifted gears in the family. “This girl comes up to me,” Arnold Schwarzenegger began, recalling a moment when a fan approached him. But instead of admiration, she handed him a card and said, “No, no, not for you. For Patrick.” The audience and the internet lost it.

Patrick Schwarzenegger's role in The White Lotus has earned him fans, gym nods, and now, his dad’s public stamp of approval. Arnold Schwarzenegger called Patrick Schwarzenegger’s work “really amazing” and shared that his son “had one heck of a year.” While Arnold Schwarzenegger made sure to celebrate all his kids, it was clear the love had not gone unnoticed. The bodybuilder-turned-actor is soaking it in like a protein shake, loud, proud, and happily in the background.

While Patrick Schwarzenegger basks in fan-fueled glory, Arnold Schwarzenegger is already eyeing a plot twist, one where the Schwarzeneggers join forces, not just at premieres, but in explosive action scenes.

Despite both working in Hollywood, Arnold and Patrick Schwarzenegger have yet to share the screen. But they are more than open to it. Arnold Schwarzenegger told E! News he would love to work with Patrick Schwarzenegger (and yes, even Chris Pratt) if a “great script” came along. Patrick Schwarzenegger is also game, telling The Hollywood Reporter he now feels ready to match his dad’s energy on set, preferably in an action film that packs both punches and parental power.

From red carpet premieres to glowing interviews, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Patrick Schwarzenegger’s mutual admiration is easy to spot. The elder Schwarzenegger had Patrick by his side at the FUBAR premiere, turning the spotlight into a family affair. With both men hyped about the possibility of a future collaboration, fans are already imagining slow-mo walkouts and explosive father-son stunts. If the right script comes along, Hollywood might just get its next Schwarzenegger special.
