Patrick Schwarzenegger says his faith has helped him deal with the ups and downs of building an acting career.
Speaking at the Sundance Film Festival, Patrick said the film industry is unpredictable, but faith helps him stay steady no matter what stage his career is in.
The White Lotus actor, 32, shared that prayer keeps him grounded and reminds him that his life has a bigger purpose than just acting.
He also shared that he and his wife, model Abby Champion, pray together every day, which he finds calming and meaningful. Patrick added that prayer helps him stay focused on gratitude, even though he doesn’t claim it magically solves everything.
He also addressed criticism that he landed roles because of his famous last name. Patrick called the speculations frustrating, noting he has spent over 10 years training, auditioning, and facing rejection.
While there are moments he wishes he didn’t have his surname, he says he wouldn’t trade his life or family and is grateful for the values his parents taught him.
