Patrick Schwarzenegger only packed four outfits when he flew to Thailand to film The White Lotus for seven months.
The Gen V actor stars as rich womaniser Saxon Ratliff in the third season of Mike White's acclaimed comedy-drama alongside the likes of Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, and Walton Goggins.
While his co-stars packed a reasonable amount of clothes in their suitcases, the 31-year-old under-packed because he figured he'd be wearing Saxon's outfits most of the time.
"Everyone on the set of The White Lotus made fun of me because I probably had four outfits for the whole seven months," he confessed to Variety. "I had a carry-on of just a few outfits because I was like, 'It's sunny and it's hot,' and then you're on set every day, you're just going to wear the character's clothing. Although I didn't want to wear the character's clothing outside of work - they were not for me."
The actor, who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, noted in a separate interview with Cosmopolitan that he could roam the hotel in his pyjamas if he wanted to because it was closed to the public during the shoot.
"We were in a hot Thai climate for seven months and on the days that you're not in character, you're at the hotel and you're hanging or swimming just in board shorts and a T-shirt or a workout gear," he explained. "I honestly didn't even bring much other clothing to Thailand, I think I didn't even bring a pair of jeans. It was just us, so I could go to the hotel in my pyjamas for dinner."
