Patrick Schwarzenegger reveals how fiancée Abby Champion reacted to his White Lotus incest scenes—delays wedding but steals laughs.
What did Abby Champion think of Patrick’s steamy scenes in White Lotus?
Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31, told The Tonight Show about how his fiancée, Abby Champion, reacted forcefully to the controversial scenes he had with his on-screen brother, Sam Nivola.
Champion, who is a giant fan of the show, kept asking Patrick for secrets after he found out that he was filming private moments.
“She was bothering me all the time,” he joked, imitating her frantic questions about his co-stars.
What finally made Abby calm down?
As soon as Episode 5 came out and showed Patrick and Sam’s awkward kiss, Abby felt better because she knew that the “girl” he had been referring to was actually his brother.
“She laughed and said, ‘You should have just told me!'” Patrick thought back.
Co-star Charlotte Le Bon revealed Patrick’s true disgust during filming, stating, “We thought he was going to throw up.”
The party pushed back their wedding, right?
They got engaged and then Patrick got White Lotus, which pushed back their wedding plans in Thailand by seven months.
Abby was surprised to be happy, even though it meant they had to put off their vows.
He told Drew Barrymore, “She is the show’s biggest fan,” and she cheered him on during the awkward filming.
What did Sam Nivola mean when he said “f— up”?
The 21-year-old actor said the scene felt “weird” because they were brothers off-screen.
As Patrick’s gut reaction went public, Sam told Variety, “It would have been easier if we had just met.”
