Patrick Schwarzenegger

Patrick Schwarzenegger: biography

Patrick Schwarzenegger is known primarily as the son of the famous father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Hollywood actor and legendary Terminator. But it seems that such a status is not enough for the young man, so he makes all to come in from the cold of his father.

Patrick, a guy with an attractive appearance, first became famous as a model. But recently, a rising Hollywood star has made the first confident steps in cinema. In the 2000s, he appeared in such notable projects as Grown Ups 2, Scream Queens and Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, where Schwarzenegger Jr. played though not key but bright roles. And in 2018, Patrick got the first major role and attracted the attention of the audience.

Early life

Patrick was born in September 1993, in Los Angeles in the family of Hollywood stars. He is the third child and first son of the actor and 38th Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Maria Shriver, a journalist.

The scandal that broke out in the star family in 2011, when information about the illegitimate child of his father and a housekeeper got out, hurt the pride of 17-year-old Patrick.
