Arnold Schwarzenegger has proven his excellence across several fields – bodybuilding, acting, politics, business, and more. The 7 x Mr. Olympia stepped into the world of acting and has acted in over 40 films in action and comedy genres. The next-gen actor in his family, Patrick, his elder son, is chasing his acting pursuits with challenging roles.
Patrick is the third of four siblings born to the Schwarzenegger-Shriver couple. He developed a penchant for acting as a child and would practice the skill with his father, the Terminator actor. In an interview in June, the budding star shared his experience with the weird demands of the roles.

Not pregnant, but Patrick Schwarzenegger sported a pregnancy belly for the role
Being the son of a legendary actor, drawing comparisons between the father and son is inevitable. The news of Patrick wearing a pregnancy belly instantly brings to memory the Austrian Oak’s role in the 1994 comedy movie “Junior.” However, Patrick wore it for a different reason.

Patrick played the role of Todd Peterson residing in North Carolina for “The Staircase.” Also, to add originality to the character that is a victim of alcohol and substance abuse, “I had to wear a four-month pregnancy belly. It was weird,” he said in an interview with Variety.
Furthermore, he shared his “non-stop” eating routine to add 20 pounds of muscle for his work as Navy SEAL on “The Terminator List.” Although it seems like a lot of effort and erratic changes from one project to another, Schwarzenegger demonstrated the true spirit of an artist by enjoying the process.
