Arnold Schwarzenegger has publicly responded to his son Patrick Schwarzenegger’s gross viral moment in the sixth episode of The White Lotus’ third season. Schwarzenegger stars in the hit HBO comedy drama series as Saxon Ratliff.

In Season 3 Episode 6 of The White Lotus, titled “Denials”, Patrick Schwarzenegger’s character Saxon has a sexual encounter with his brother Lochlan, instantly becoming one of the most viral moments of the season so far, thanks in no small part to Patrick’s excellent portrayal of Saxon’s subsequent shock, disgust, and denial (hence the episode title).

In response to his son’s viral moment on The White Lotus, his legendary father took to social media to post a humorous GIF of himself from his Christmas comedy film Jingle All The Way.

Schwarzenegger has been getting particular praise for his performance as Saxon, who is a “soulless” (the show’s description of him), stuck-up, trust fund, full-of-himself Southern Charm type. Parker Posey, playing Saxon’s mother Victoria, has also been one of the stand-outs of season three.

Season three of The White Lotus, now airing on HBO and streaming on MAX on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. EST, also stars Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Tayme Thapthimthong, Aimee Lou Wood, Jon Gries and Sam Rockwell.
