Internet Laments Quick Death As Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son Patrick Blows Up In Graphically Violent Show: “Really Sad That You Died So Early”

Patrick Schwarzenegger, the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger gave a pleasant surprise to fans when he announced he would be part of Gen V. The Amazon Prime show was announced as the first live-action spin-off of the massively popular The Boys. While the animated spin-off of the show had already aired, fans were excited to see the live expansion of The Boys universe.

Patrick Schwarzenegger also put in work at the gym for the role. The 30-year-old put on some muscle and featured prominently in the trailer. In fact, the trailer hinted at him having similar superpowers to the antagonist of The Boys. Interestingly, the Midnight Sun actor had originally auditioned for that role in 2019. Hence, people were excited to see Schwarzenegger in the graphically violent show that shocked Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, much to everybody’s dismay and despite the show hyping him up as Homelander’s equal, young Schwarzenegger’s Golden Boy’s violent death at the end of episode 1 turned out to be quite anti-climactic. 

Patrick Schwarzenegger pens heartfelt note to fans

The bodybuilding legend’s son posted on Instagram about the show after the finale aired on Amazon Prime. “Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone that watched GEN V. Was a blast,” wrote the actor. Arnie’s eldest son also shared multiple images from the show. He urged those who haven’t watched the series to “please go check It out! Amazon Prime! The Show is amazing!!”

Gen V has everything that made The Boys popular. “Funny, action-packed, blood galore and a bunch of weird sh*t,” wrote The Terminal List actor. He also gave a shout-out to the actors and lamented the early exit of his. “The other actors are fantastic & such great people. I really appreciate all the messages & support. Maybe I’ll be back 😉 I wish I lasted longer too lmao,” wrote Schwarzenegger. The actor’s fans mirrored the sentiment in the comments.
