Now that Terminator scion Patrick Schwarzenegger is 18, the media is all in his grill. And why not? Patrick (who’s using his mom’s maiden name, Shriver, in the wake of his father’s baby-daddy scandal) has inherited his father’s firm physique—but thankfully not his Alfred E. Neuman looks.
In the above clip, a commercial for Hudson Jeans modeled after Andy Warhol’s infamous “Screen Test” series, a shirtless Patrick gives us his version of Blue Steel while telling us to “choose the freedoms others take for granted.”
Like the freedom to marry, a right Arnie vetoed twice while he was governor of California?
pierre
Meh.
Kurt
Shriver. No “c.” His grandparents Shriver were two of the most wonderful and decent people on earth.
SebX
Man, that guy is gonna be so hot when he’s in his mid-20’s.
Now he’s a very cute kid :p
Ray
Can you model and chew gum at the same time? He can.
christopher di spirito
Much cuter than his parents.
Way2Go
I felt high just watching.
New-B
He’s cute. The voiceover was incomprehensible and annoying. I still have no idea what Hudson Jeans look like.
Daho
Schriver? Really?
Mario
Gay predator alert!

Somebody explain to me what “choose boys who don’t know how to dress, choose girls that do,” line. That sounds horribly sexist to me.
Secure Straight Men Aren't Homophobes
@Mario: He’s 18+ years old, moron. If you are old enough to get your dick shot off in two pointless wars for the US, then you can get it sucked by anyone your age and older — if you wish. Quit seeing pedophiles everywhere.
Guilty conscience?
Jim Hlavac
OK, so let me get this straight — a millionaire’s kid, with no talent other than his family names (either one, I don’t care:) — Arnold the “family values” Republican of course, and the um, “family values under the bridge Uncle Teddy” multimillionaire Democrat (Chappaquiddick anyone?) — has now done some ridiculous ad for a multimillionaire jean company — in some annoying flashing light like the aliens are coming video with inane commentary — and we are supposed to “choose” what? Swoon, retch or protest? Beats me. I see the 1%ers everywhere here, from one end of the spectrum to the other, and frankly, it’s spinach, and I say the hell to it. And you folks go gaga for googoo? Bizarre, utterly bizarre.
(I will admit, I think I’m just too old fashioned, OK?)
Frank
Meh…next !
Marie Cohn
Cut or uncut?
JWilliamson
He seems okay, but the ad sucks – even as an AW homage.
mike128
Sort of sad when people with so much money and privilege choose to spend their time working as models.

@jim h
1. Edward Moore Kennedy was Patrick’s GREAT uncle. Why should this young man be burdened with his great uncles triumphs or failures? Or his parents, for that matter?
2. People are millionaires. (Jean) Companies have a dollar valuation.
3. How do you (or any of us) know what talents he may have?
4. I’m old-fashioned, too. But I try to be fair and reasonable/rational/accurate.
Jperon
First, he is not responsible for anything his father did and bringing it up is just tacky. Second, it misstates what was done. Schwarzenegger said that the matter had to be decided by the courts and when the Supreme Court of the state legalized gay marriage he said he supported the decision. When Prop 8 was proposed he opposed the measure and when Prop 8 lost in the courts he refused to defend it.
So the author of the article leaves context out in an unfair manner.
Inspector X
Yea, he’s in great shape but this ad is BORING.
Chadboy
Average looking. If he didn’t have famous parents he wouldn’t be modeling.
sarfioas
Gee I wonder how he got that job???
MoJo
SnooooooooRE!
Riker
@Jperon: Agreed. The Governator gets a bad rap for his veto, but he did it based on a sound (if mistaken, I believe) legal opinion, not out of anti-gay animus. He expended significant political capitol trying to defeat Proposition 8, and still goes on the record supporting equality.
Charles
not to be picky, but the Shriver kids have always used their mother’s last name. And it’s not her maiden name because she never changed it. Arnold was always the only shwarzenegger in the family.
Henry
How fucking stupid does a person need to be to believe that a 160+ IQ is a timid little bookworm? I hate these goddamn little 110 or 120 IQs who think unconsciously (because it must be unconscious) that timidity is an essential sign of intelligence, who think that anyone with a bite must be stupider than they are – and they’re already pretty stupid. They’re animals who preen and growl, and because they’re animals they can only judge by animal standards: “he growls like us, he must be one of ours.” They’re the same people who think that men embody intelligence, and not women.
Henry
I know you’re wondering about this, Charles, but I don’t read your posts online on any site. I already had all the proof I needed about your anti-Semitism given to me a long time ago, so there’s no purpose to reading any more. I imagine you look for me frantically at many different places, thinking I’ll make an oblique comment about you, refreshing the page, hoping not to miss some critical bit of information, or even just an insult, because of your revolting vanity. This explains your behavior on Yahoo answers, popping up right away when you could have had no idea what time I would be online. If you don’t believe me, just think about it. Why do you think I cut you out of my life? So I could get away from you, completely and absolutely.
ZHamm
He needs to go to a real college and get a real job. Hollywood is an evil place. Working in the entertainment and modeling industry is a great way to end up dead.
ian
Several years ago, on huffpo I think, his pic was posted with “guess who’s kid this is”. I was really surprised since I recall thinking to myself when Ahhnold and Maria got married they’d have some freaky looking kids. He’s a good looking kid, one can see the Kennedy in him.
steve
This ad didn’t need to be over 2 mins long..
But yeah wouldn’t it be wonderful if he turned out to be a queen?
Ian
He’s sexy and like the way it was shot. Don’t much like the voice-over.

@sarfioas:
he only got that job because of who his mommy and daddy are
Riker
@dax: So? Almost everybody has gotten a job at one point or another based on who they know. That’s why networking is important. This kid was just born with the connections. Is that his fault?
Cam
1. Hard to tell if anybody is goodlooking in shadowed black and white.
2. What is it with the children of accomplished parents all wanting to be “Models”? Wow, mom and dad worked and build up their brand so I can go for a career that requires zero intellectual ability and low levels for work ethic.
Say what you will about his mother, but she was from a famous family and worked her ass off for years to get somewhere, and his father, douchebag that he is, also worked incredibly hard.
nineinchnail
@dax: Very true. I see better looking guys walking down the street on a regular basis. Very average.
Charles
@Henry: For what it is worth, an IQ test merely measures a small and yet singular part of the whole person. Just as the World is not exclusively black and white. It is the innumerable “shades of gray” that best sum up the entire person as a whole. So why do you speak of IQ comparisons on the level of two youngsters in a sand box? One declaring his superiority to the other? True intelligence needs not a loud and vocal platform to trumpet away. That’s what high IQ societies sometimes tend to do. True intelligence does not need any of these things. It shines like a beacon in and through the quiet actions of the genuinely gifted. I myself have confidence in my lack of completing high school. I have contentment with the fact that I possess an IQ of 80.
Riker
@Charles: You do realize that 79 is the upper bound of borderline mental retardation, right? 80 is officially classified as “dull”. Then again, with an IQ of 80, perhaps information processing and reasoning aren’t things you’re good at.
Charles
I am very familiar with the IQ bell curve chart and its intersections for each level as was explained by the examiner. With periodic testing on occasions over the years, my overall average results were around 80 give or take a few points.
Lance Magic
He’s a beautiful boy… thankfully the world is full of them and they make me smile.
ewe
DUMB DUMB DUMB. This is exactly what Occupy Wall Street is fighting against Folks. This kid is the spoiled spawn of the 1% and that shitty commercial more boring than watching paint dry is no cause for celebration.
ewe
@Jim Hlavac: just read your post. Ditto. Bravo.
ewe
GEOFF: you try to be fair and reasonable? You are so full of it. Try that BS on someone else. If you were the least bit capable of living your words about fair and reasonable or accurate blah blah blah you would see that you might as well be licking his cum up off the floor on your knees because you are the worst kind of mindless kiss ass accepting this as some sort of accomplishment on the part of some so called independent child of a celebrity couple. PUKE. fuck off. you are rediculous. You are in the dark. Turn on Hollywood Insider and STFU. People have better things to do than adulate around some privileged brat. Get fucking real and grow the fuck up. People who say what you say need to be slapped across the face. You are in the dark. It is very frustrating to witness.
JayKay
So much mad in here…
Y’all haters stay fat and jealous now.
ewe
@JayKay: There are plenty of people that do not approve of this crap that are a helluva lot better looking that that kid sitting there being filmed doing absolutely nothing at all. The point is that there is no accomplishment. He is simply being stared at by a camera because of who his parents are. That has nothing to do with being fat or jealous. You are just idiotic. I don’t even know how to express it any further.
Ole
yawn
ewe
@Ole: you i agree with. lol
Lance Magic
Someone mentioned Occupy Wall Street in one of these comments. I am both surprised at the obvious transference and not surprised at all that one more person is making such statements.
Before you start talking about percentages such as “One percent of the people who have all of the wealth…” etc. maybe you should go do some RESEARCH.
And what the fuck does ANY of that have to do with a commercial for jeans? Let me make this clear: EVERY ADVERTISEMENT YOU SEE OR HEAR FOR ANYTHING, ANYWHERE IS PANDERING TO YOU, PATRONIZING YOU, DESIGNED WITH TO APPEAL TO AN INSULTINGLY LOW INTELLIGENCE, IS DECEPTIVE BY THE SPIRIT OF THE AD’S PORTRAYALS IF NOT LITERALLY LYING ABOUT THE PRODUCT, SERVICE OR OTHER THINGS BEING ADVERTISED AND THE WHOLE GODDAMNED WORLD SUCKS THAT SAME OLD DICK EVERY TIME IT COMES OUT OF THEIR TELEVISION SETS.
So if you are that upset about Arnold’s son being in an ad for jeans, let me upset you a little more. He looks like about 100 million young guys all over the world and they are all beautiful in their own rights. I would make moan like a farm animal all night long and go out to breakfast just laughing and grinning with him the whole time.
It’s called celebrating something in spirit and in flesh and it emanates from good intentions and a completely natural desire that some older civilizations held in high regard and that certainly made for stronger people and relationships.
This present critical-mass we have reached world-wide is centered around chaos, confusion, dissension, failure and death. One way or another the LEAST intelligent among us for being the MOST inbred and the weakest for being handed everything they have so that they literally expect that their asses will be wiped by their indentured servants… and this is NOT a joke, this is real… these are the people who sit atop the ladder and step on the fingers of those who try to climb it to entertain the notion of change.
Occupy Wall Street is just a bunch of inconsiderate morons with sand in their pussies who shit, pissed and threw trash all over the parks they “occupied” without permits etc. and FUCK EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.
But you know… these elite who do influence so much of what goes on and who are so unqualified to do anything worthwhile as can be seen so clearly in our present state of affairs… these people will soon lose their grips. Human consciousness is about to shift by maybe as much as an octave and I think we are going to see news reports of Princess Idiot and the moronic son of billionaire so-and-so being hospitalized with some rare cellular brain disorder in the next year.
Call me crazy… call me whatever you will but you won’t be saying any of it by the end of 2012 when what I have pointed out and prognosticated comes to pass.

@Jim Hlavac:
uh, Chappaquidick? I had to google that- you must be old enough to wear dentures.
I bet you think Teddy was the one who kidnapped the Lindbergh baby as well.
geoff
@ewe
That was quite the screed- although it had nothing to do with what I wrote. Perhaps you have anger management issues? – or in your case an injection of propofyl might benefit you immensely.

@disco lives: sorry, but I have to ask – you know about the lindbergh baby but not about Chappaquidick ? good answer hint – you recently saw the movie J. Edgar

This is like watching paint dry. Burp.
