"I had to stand on my own feet first. Now I am ready to play the terminator." Our cover star Patrick Schwarzenegger in an interview

IfPatrick SchwarzeneggerEntering a house, energy comes through the door. He hugs the whole team, attracts every look without complaint, runs up without the area. Patrick is super open, when eating he tells a non -stop, and does not let a full mouth stop.This type has something to telland heCan't wait for the world to listen to him. His smile is wide and a bit angular, something from Schwarzenegger. The sun laughed all day.

Esquire: Patrick, in Hollywood, on the streets, also here on the set, the fright sits in the bones about the gruesome fires. Did everyone survive these weeks in the Schwarzenegger clan?

Patrick Schwarzenegger: Fortunately yes. It was intense! My fiancee Abby and I live in Santa Monica and were evacuated. My father also had to leave his house. So he packed all of his animals and is going on. Fortunately, everyone was spared.

If you could reach your father, he supposedly didn't have a phone.

My dad has no smartphone, right. But this huge iPad, so I always reach it by video call.

Now you could see you together at the world premiere of the new season of The White Lotus. When you rose from the plane for the shoot in Thailand and knew that you are now part of the ensemble of this cult series - that must have been an important moment for a young actor.

Full. Every step before was extremely exciting, from auditions to readings with Mike White, the director and mastermind behind the series. Then everything went incredibly quickly, at some point it was just said: okay, we will start in four weeks! I would live in Thailand for more AL, on this island of Ko Samui, which I didn't know, I knew zero what awaited me. When I arrived, part of the cast was already on site. The whole hotel scurried by people who all worked on this project. Completely surreal experience.

So you don't know each other yet?

I only knew my series mother Parker Posey because I worked with her in the staircase. Oh yes, and I knew a cameraman.

Didn't you know your serial brother either? After all, you talk to him about masturbating in the first episode - with a bare ass.

No, we got to know each other at breakfast.
