Patrick Schwarzenegger and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Patrick Schwarzenegger called out his dad Arnold Schwarzenegger for using his famous "I'll be back" catchphrase from the Terminator films.

"Everybody asks that. They're like, 'Does your dad always say his one-liners?' And I'm like, 'All the time,'" Patrick revealed during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in April 2021.

The Moxie star added: "He'll turn back and be like, 'I'll be back.' I'll be like, 'Dad, really?'"
