Discover his travel essentials, fashion favorites, and go-to martini.
For a man constantly juggling acting roles and entrepreneurial ventures, Patrick Schwarzenegger certainly knows how to savor the moment—preferably with a perfectly crafted Vesper martini in hand. As he steps into the spotlight for season three of HBO’s acclaimed series The White Lotus, Schwarzenegger is also front and center in a new campaign featuring Ketel One Vodka and Tanqueray Gin, celebrating the show’s exotic Thai backdrop. “I’m really pumped for the world to see it,” Schwarzenegger shared: “It was beautiful. The food was delicious, the culture was just amazing,” he added, describing the campaign’s “elevated and sophisticated” Ketel One and Tanqueray “Sip into The White Lotus” cocktail lineup as the perfect at-home mix for fans tuning in.
Schwarzenegger isn’t the only one enchanted by Thailand’s allure. Travel experts predict a surge of up to 20% in tourism, fueled by the breathtaking visuals featured in The White Lotus season three. For fans eager to experience it firsthand, the show’s official spirits partners are offering an enticing Thailand destination giveaway.
Having spent over six months filming in Thailand, Schwarzenegger wasn’t surprised by the buzz. “That’s just a testament to [showrunner] Mike White and the show—what they’re able to capture,” he noted. Each season, the series beautifully showcases the “landscape, aesthetics, and unique charm” of its host country. Off-camera, Schwarzenegger enjoyed bonding with his co-stars over drinks, revealing that Walton Goggins proved to be “a pretty great cocktail connoisseur on set.”
In a White Lotus-themed promo video, Schwarzenegger shakes up a lychee-garnished Vesper martini, a sip of which seems to transport viewers straight to Thailand’s picturesque shores. The striking visuals provide a dramatic backdrop for a show renowned for its twists, though Schwarzenegger remained tight-lipped about season three’s surprises.
“The fun part is that it unfolds over eight weeks, so there’s plenty to enjoy along the way,” he teased. Signing on with creator Mike White? “It was a no-brainer—I said yes in a heartbeat.” The role also marked Schwarzenegger’s first trip to Thailand, an experience he embraced with his signature laid-back style. For long-haul flights, he relies on his trusty Brooks Ghost Max sneakers. The journey from Los Angeles to Ko Samui, including a layover in Singapore, clocks in at around 24 hours—comfort is key. Beyond travel essentials, Schwarzenegger’s style reflects a love for timeless accessories.
“I love watches—my dad has gifted me an incredible collection of Audemars Piguet pieces over the years,” he shared. A Patek Philippe Nautilus remains at the top of his wishlist, further cementing his appreciation for fine craftsmanship.
Schwarzenegger, whose fashion partnerships include Banana Republic and Tommy Hilfiger, values the opportunity to discover emerging designers worldwide. He even hinted at an upcoming clothing line inspired by The White Lotus. As a regular fixture at fashion week, he admires the ‘90s preppy resurgence championed by Hilfiger, calling it “beautiful and nostalgic.”
2025 promises to be a milestone year for Schwarzenegger, both professionally and personally. He’s engaged to model Abby Champion, with wedding plans underway, and he anticipates the success of The White Lotus season three. “It’s going to be a year of seeing dreams come to life and really enjoying the journey,” he reflected. “My goal has always been to collaborate with top-tier writers and actors, and The White Lotus is just the perfect project for that.”
So, whether he’s exploring Thailand, curating his watch collection, or mixing up his signature martini, Patrick Schwarzenegger knows how to live life with style—one adventure, one sip at a time.
