What was Chris Pratt Looking at During Brother-in-Law Patrick Schwarzenegger's Controversial 'White Lotus' Scene?

READ TIME: 2 MIN.

On Season 3 of Mike White's satiric look at uber-wealthy Americans, Patrick plays Saxon Ratliff, a perpetually horny Alpha male vacationing with his family at the White Lotus resort in Thailand. He is forced to room with his younger brother Lachlan (Sam Nivola), whom he is mentoring in his frat boy attitudes about sex and women.

But when Patrick swaggers about the bathroom naked with the door open, Lachlan seemed unusually interested in his brother's plump member.

And so it seems is Schwarzenegger's brother-in-law Chris Pratt, who is married to Katherine Schwarzenegger.

"I know where my eyes went–I'm not blood related to him, I was looking at that dick, bro," Chris joked to E! News' Will Marfuggi at the Feb. 24 premiere of his new movie "The Electric State," which premieres on Netflix March 14.

"No, he looks amazing. Obviously, he's a physical specimen, but also he's a really solid actor, because the character he's playing is completely different than who he is.

"I've been watching him, he's just been working hard. He's actually a hustler across the board, not just with acting but with business, and everything. He's super driven, and I know he gets that from both his mom and his dad."

Pratt continued: ""He created a character. And it feels natural and good. I've been telling everybody for years, I've been telling him as well, I really think we're entering a decade of Patrick." 

Taking a higher road is discussing the controversial scene (incest, anyone?) are Patrick's parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.

 "I just looked straight into his eyes," Maria quipped to E! News. "That's all I know!"

"What a show!" Dad Arnold wrote on Instagram Feb. 11, following the premiere event. "I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

For his part, don't expect Patrick to watching these scenes with any of his family.

"I have not told them anything, but there are scenes that I will not be watching with them," he joked on the red carpet at "The White Lotus" premiere. "I'm leaving for this episode or these episodes."
