Patrick Schwarzenegger is in awe of his dad Arnold’s life lately.
The White Lotus star, 31, made an appearance on SiriusXM’s Literally! With Rob Lowe on Thursday, where he spoke of his dad’s pets over the last several years.
It began with Lowe, 61, admiring the Terminator star’s small menagerie of animals.
“I love that Arnold has the mini horse and the pig… it makes me want to do that,” Lowe told Patrick during the episode, to which Patrick also resonated with the feeling.
“He has totally embraced this new kind of act of life,” the White Lotus star replied, speaking about his 77-year-old dad.
“It’s just … Doctor Doolittle meets this mid-life crisis, but happiness and calmer side of life. It’s really funny.”
“You’ve seen it, but this picture of him holding court at his dinner table with a cigar in his mouth and the miniature donkey behind him on the right side and the miniature pony on the left side and the pig right below his feet eating, and then the little chihuahua on his lap, and then the massive 180 pound Malamute husky over there next to the horse,” Patrick continued.
“It’s just like they have all of them surrounding Arnold. He has certain meals, he has the oatmeal cookies, the homemade oatmeal cookies that are good for the horses. He’s got special meals for the dog. He’s got the soup that the pig loves,” the actor went on. “It’s just it’s out of a movie. It really is.”
Patrick also addressed rumours about a potential show or movie in development about Arnold and his many pets.
“Apparently. Brian, our friend Brian Grazer, has a movie he’s developing about Arnold and the animals,” Lowe said, referring to the producer and Ron Howard’s frequent collaborator.
“Every time I see Brian… I keep saying, ‘What’s going on with the Arnold animal movie?’ Because honestly, I don’t know anything I’d rather see than a movie about Arnold and his animals.”
“I am down to see that. I saw him literally yesterday and he brought it up,” Patrick revealed. “I’m hoping that it happens.”
Arnold is a dad to five children: daughters Katherine and Christina, and sons Patrick, Christopher, and Joseph.
