Schwarzenegger expressed his relief now that the show has been released, joking that he no longer has to dodge questions about who dies in the series.
Schwarzenegger revealed that he kept the plot details a secret, even from his own family. When his fiancée incessantly pestered him to learn what happens, he stood firm, reminding her that he had signed a non-disclosure agreement. Although he couldn’t reveal who dies, he did admit to hooking up with other characters on the show. Surprisingly, his fiancée’s reaction took an unexpected turn when she found out about his character’s relationship with his brother.
When discussing his character, Saxon, Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he initially received backlash from viewers. However, he mentioned that people’s opinions changed as the season progressed, with many ending up enjoying his portrayal. He shared a heartwarming anecdote about being recognized by a group of women who applauded him for his performance.
Fallon also brought up Schwarzenegger’s newfound popularity for his protein shake-making skills, a trait his character Saxon possesses in the show. The actor happily agreed to demonstrate how to make a “Saxon protein shake.” They started by adding whole milk, two bananas, a protein bar, ice, and a dollop of peanut butter to a blender. Schwarzenegger effortlessly showcased his expertise by adding the perfect amount of protein powder. The duo had fun exaggerating the protein intake, adding extras like creatine, resulting in a comically overloaded shake.
The segment ended with Fallon and Schwarzenegger toasting their shakes and preparing to try them. Schwarzenegger assured Fallon that consuming the shake wouldn’t instantly transform him into a Schwarzenegger look-alike. They then watched a clip of Schwarzenegger’s performance in “The White Lotus,” highlighting his character’s emotional conversation with his father about success and identity.
Overall, Schwarzenegger’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was lively and entertaining. Fans of “The White Lotus” got an inside look at the actor’s experience on the show, as well as a humorous lesson in protein shake-making.
