Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son Revisits 2018 Box Office Hit and Fan Favorite

Patrick Schwarzenegger, following in the footsteps of his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been carving out his own path in Hollywood. With a blend of inherited talent and personal drive, Patrick has steadily made his mark in the entertainment industry.

Recently, he took to his Instagram to share a story that goes beyond mere recollection; it’s a poignant remembrance of one of his notable roles. In the 2018 romantic drama ‘Midnight Sun’, he portrayed a compelling love interest opposite Bella Thorne. His performance received praise for its depth and authenticity and captured the attention of both critics and audiences alike.

Patrick Schwarzenegger from modeling to a leading man

Recently engaged, Patrick posted two stories on his Instagram. One featured the movie poster, and in another, he wrote, “I still get people messaging me all the time about this movie, this was the start.” The movie was released on March 23, 2018, and it’s been 6 years since. But people still adore the film and his role as Charlie.

The 30-year-old began his career in modeling, he quickly transitioned to acting, making his film debut in 2012 with “Stuck in Love”. He showcased his acting chops in subsequent projects like “Grown Ups 2” and “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse,” displaying a versatility that hinted at a promising future. However, while promoting the film back in 2018, the 30-year-old talked about his role as a leading man in a romantic film.

In an interview with Parade, Patrick discussed his immersive experiences preparing for roles. For “Long Road Home”, he lived on a military base, interacting with soldiers to embody his character. Transitioning to “Midnight Sun”, he trained with a USC Swim Team member to understand the mindset of a dedicated swimmer.

Despite the contrast in characters, both films explore deep emotional and physical journeys. “Midnight Sun” particularly emphasizes gratitude for life’s simple joys, like sunlight.  Furthermore, he revealed that since childhood, his father has instilled discipline and taught him a piece of useful advice to become successful.

Visualize and act upon your dreams everyday Arnie’s advice to Patrick

Patrick shared that his father has provided him with a wealth of advice over the years, spanning various aspects of life such as acting, entrepreneurship, and academics. The core message revolves around the power of dreaming and actively working towards turning those dreams into reality. He emphasizes the importance of visualizing one’s perfect dream, documenting it, and then dedicating each day to taking steps toward achieving it.

Schwarzenegger also mentioned the power of visualizing one’s dream in his book ‘Be Useful: Seven Tools of Life’. Additionally, just like his father Patrick also encourages continuous personal growth and development, urging individuals to use each day as an opportunity to enhance their knowledge, expand their horizons, and progress towards their desired goals and aspirations.
