  • Patrick Schwarzenegger and Aimee Lou Wood teamed up with Venmo to launch a playful ad that spotlights their real-life friendship through a musical-inspired shopping sequence.
  • The pair decided to work together again just days before Venmo approached them, leading to an enthusiastic reconnection over text.
  • Schwarzenegger revealed that fans sent him money on Venmo during episodes of The White Lotus, a gesture he found amusing and promptly refunded.
  • Their intense seven-month shoot in Thailand forged a close camaraderie that left both actors feeling separation anxiety after filming wrapped.
  • Since the series, Wood has redefined her red-carpet image and even debuted a charity T-shirt design to support the Trans Justice Funding Project.
