Did You Know Arnold Schwarzenegger Son Tried Out for This Coveted ‘The Boys’ Character for ‘Gen V’ Before Landing as the Golden Boy?

Arnold Schwarzenegger [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/] is an established name in the film industry, with a repertoire of over 40 films. He is not only the quintessential action hero of Hollywood, but is also popular for being the greatest bodybuilder of all time. And as if it was not enough, the star also went on to establish his name in politics and the business realm. With so much success, talent, and power, one can expect him to bag any role he is interested in now. However, his son does not quite measure up in the same way. Patrick Schwarzenegger’s recent series Gen V premiered last month. However, not many people would know that Patrick Schwarzenegger did not initially audition for the role of Golden Boy, but for a different character. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER’S SON WANTED TO PLAY THIS EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE ROLE Patrick Schwarzenegger played the Supe Golden Boy in the Prime video series Gen V. During a 2022 interview with Variety, the 30-year-old revealed [https://variety.com/2022/streaming/columns/the-staircase-patrick-schwarzenegger-the-boys-spinoff-1235292860/] that he auditioned for the role of Homelander in the American superhero television series. However, Anthony Starr eventually bagged the role and became one of the most memorable characters in the world of Supes. Nevertheless, the Moxie actor’s audition did not go to waste, as it brought him to the role of Luke Riordan.
