Patrick’s family reacts to the nude scene

Patrick’s brother-in-law Chris Pratt (married to his sister Katherine Schwarzenegger) told E! News after The White Lotus premiered, “I know where my eyes went—I’m not blood related to him, I was looking at that d**k, bro.” When asked about it on the red carpet, Patrick replied, “He’s a comedian, he’s funny, smart…I don’t know; you have to ask him (if he was being serious).”

The publication then asked him if fiancé Abby Champion and her family had watched the scene. Patrick explained, “She knew because her family is from Alabama, they’re from the south. And they do viewing parties to support me, to watch other shows that I’ve done. So I did tell her so she could warn her family and their big watch group that yes, there was some stuff that they should maybe close their eyes. So, she knew something was coming but she didn’t know the extent. Her mom sent me a text message with the emojis with the hands over the eyes. So…(laughs).”
