Patrick Schwarzenegger Talks The White Lotus, Banana Republic, and His Fitness Routine

Patrick Schwarzenegger is making waves as Saxon Ratliff in The White Lotus Season 3—an entitled, wealthy antagonist who’s quickly become one of the show’s most talked-about characters. From degrading women to walking naked in front of his brother, Saxon has sparked viral debates and wild theories about the Ratliff family.

But in reality, Schwarzenegger is nothing like his character. The actor, who is happily engaged and down-to-earth, embraced the challenge of playing a villain. He teases that major twists are coming, telling fans, “You haven’t seen anything yet. After [episode] three or four is really where things start to take off. Buckle up.”

Banana Republic x The White Lotus

Beyond the HBO hit, Schwarzenegger is fronting Banana Republic’s latest campaign, a collaboration inspired by The White Lotus. The collection blends luxury resortwear with Thailand-inspired designs, reflecting Banana Republic’s craftsmanship and travel-ready aesthetic. Schwarzenegger stars in the campaign alongside Shanina Shaik, making it a perfect blend of fashion and pop culture.

How He Got That Body

Schwarzenegger’s physique has also been a major talking point. He credits consistent workouts, a protein-packed diet, and discipline for his sculpted look. While playing Saxon required no additional fitness prep, he maintains a strict regimen, often sharing workouts on social media.
