One White Lotus star has reflected on his role in an Ariana Grande music video. The White Lotus season 3 has almost finished and once again recaptured its label as the hottest show on TV. The HBO hit by Mike White surrounds a group of wealthy resort visitors who visit a luxury resort called The White Lotus, each set in a different country.

Each season, a person (or people) are killed, and there is a mystery to discover who the killer is.

The third season was set in a beautiful resort in Thailand and had a star-studded cast. Season 3 starred the likes of Walt Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Leslie Bibb, Parker Posey, Lisa from Blackpink, and Patrick Schwarzenegger. Aside from being the son of legendary actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Schwarzenegger has made headlines for his recent (and Sweet Home Alabama) role in The White Lotus.

But before he was a star of the hit HBO show, he had another role that you may’ve forgotten about. The White Lotus star has spoken about his role in Ariana Grande’s music video for her song Right There. Find out what he had to say here.

What did the White Lotus star say about his role in the Ariana Grande music video?

An Ariana Grande fan account posted a clip on X of the music video for Right There featuring Big Sean. Weirdly, the White Lotus star responded to the clip, several months after it was posted.

He responded in a short X post, “Some of my finest work”.

At the time, the 31-year-old actor was around 20 years old. In the 2013 music video, he played Grande’s love interest, a Rome-style man whom she flirts with in a ball-like setting. At the time, Grande was just blowing up, and Schwarzenegger was better known for his father’s name.

The single was released as part of the singles for Grande’s debut album, Yours Truly.

However, the music video did open the world’s eyes to him, and at the time, you couldn’t go anywhere on Wattpad without seeing him on the cover. It was one of his earliest roles.

Many had forgotten about one of his earliest roles, but the post on his X account made people remember.

One fan wrote in response to his post, “So true, king and I love The White Lotus!!”

Another fan said Arianators were there from the beginning.

Meanwhile, another fan smoothly replied, “April Fools bc ur finest work is what u did to my heart”.

Well, he did a lot for a lot of our hearts!

Another fan was unaware it was him in the music video and wrote, “Why am I just realizing this omfg”.

Jokingly, an Arianator wrote, “My favorite role of yours”.

With The White Lotus finale coming up soon, stay tuned for updates.
