Chris Pratt had an unexpected reaction to seeing his brother-in-law Patrick Schwarzenegger’s White Lotus nude scene.
Pratt, 45, has been married to 31-year-old Patrick’s sister Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35, since 2019.
The younger Schwarzenegger plays the overtly sexual Saxton in season three of Mike White’s critically acclaimed drama/comedy series. Episode one featured the character in a full-frontal, bare-bottomed clip.
‘I know where my eyes went. I’m not blood-related to him — I was looking at that d**k, bro,’ Pratt shockingly shared with an E! News reporter about the scene at Monday night’s The Electric Side movie premiere.
The Schwarzenegger siblings are the children of actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger and journalist Maria Shriver.

Shriver, 69, also shared her thoughts on her son stripping down for the sensational TV moment.
‘My kids were like, “Did you see that?” And I was like, “No. What?”‘ Maria told People, adding, ‘So that shows you — a mother’s eyes are always in the kids’ eyes.’
In addition to Patrick and Katherine, exes Arnold and Maria also share Christina, 33, and Christopher, 27.
Shriver continued: ‘I was so happy for [Patrick] because he’s worked so hard. He takes classes, he’s really been grinding at it for more than a decade, and he wanted to work his way up — and he’s done it his way.’
After the premiere episode, Shriver took to social media to share a video of her reaction when her son told her he’d landed the role of Saxton.
‘We are so proud of you! What a thrill to watch you on one of my favorite shows, @whitelotus,’ the gushing mom wrote.
She added, ‘This was the moment he told me he got the part. How amazing to see it back. To get to relive that joy. To feel it all over again!’
Speaking to her 1.6 million followers, she added, ‘I hope it makes you smile just as much as it makes me smile. I hope it makes you think of a moment in your life that you got to do something special for someone, where you got to share special news. Spread a little joy today. Make someone smile!’
So far, episodes one and two have briefly featured the character in the bare

Schwarzenegger’s famous father Arnold also weighed in on his son’s nude moment.
He wrote on Instagram earlier this month: ‘What a show! 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. Don’t miss it this Sunday — trust me.’
Patrick recently defended his nepo baby status in an interview with Variety.
Speaking on his critics, the actor said, ‘I know there are people who’ll say I only got this role because of who my dad is.
‘They’re not seeing that I’ve had 10 years of acting classes, put on school plays every week, worked on my characters for hours on end or the hundreds of rejected auditions I’ve been on.’
He added, ‘Of course, it’s frustrating and you can get boxed in and you think at that moment, I wish I didn’t have my last name. But that’s a small moment.’
The budding entertainer expressed gratitude as he continued, ‘I’m very fortunate to have the life and family that I have, the parents I have and the lessons and values they’ve instilled in me.’
