Chris Prattwasn’t given a heads-up about just how much of his brother-in-law he was going to see in season 3 ofThe White Lotus.
Pratt, who is married to season 3 starPatrick Schwarzenegger’s sisterKatherine Schwarzenegger, is of course tuning in to see Patrick, 31, in the hit Mike White series, but he’s seeing more than he bargained for.
“I did not know I was gonna be seeing him fully nude in that way,” Pratt toldEntertainment Tonightwhen asked about his brother-in-law’s brief full-frontal scene in the premiere episode.
Though he didn’t get a warning ahead of time, Pratt, 45, commended Patrick for taking the risk — and looking good while doing it. “Hey, he looks good, you know what I mean? I was like, rock it, bro,” he said.
Pratt continued to praise Patrick, who he said he’s “so proud of,” as is “everyone in his family.”
“He does a great job inWhite Lotus,” he told the outlet. “I loveWhite Lotus. I was a fan ofWhite Lotusbefore, so when he got it, everyone was super pumped for him.”

His dadArnold Schwarzeneggercelebrated the major role in aposton Instagram after attending the premiere, andwrote of the nude scene in particular: “I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say - the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
His momMaria Shriverhad aslightly different reaction. “My kids were like, ‘Did you see that?’ And I was like, ‘No. What?’” Shriver told PEOPLE when asked about the nude scene. “So that shows you — a mother’s eyes are always on the kids' eyes.”
Nudity aside, Shriver, 69, took the chance to rave about her son, who she shares with Arnold, 77,along with Katherine, Christina and Christopher Schwarzenegger.
“I was so happy for him because he’s worked so hard,” she told PEOPLE. “He takes classes, he’s really been grinding at it for more than a decade, and he wanted to work his way up — and he’s done it his way.”
