Patrick Schwarzenegger supports his 'The White Lotus' co-star Lisa at Coachella

Patrick Schwarzenegger was in the front row, singing and dancing during Lisa's set at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday, April 11. He was accompanied by his fiancé, Abby Champion, and posted an Instagram Story of him supporting his The White Lotus co-star, writing, "Excuse my dancing, I had a cocktail."

The said cocktail was in his hand as he danced. He was also sure to add that Lisa "CRUSHED IT." 

As for Lisa, she gave a shoutout to fans of the HBO series, saying, "This is Lisa, and for The White Lotus fans, you might be surprised to see Mook on stage. This is her when she's not working, you know?"

Season 3 of Mike White's The White Lotus took place at a Thai resort and also starred Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Tayme Thapthimthong, and Aimee Lou Wood. 

The White Lotus was Lisa's acting debut, and she admitted to Variety that she was nervous on her first day of shooting: "I was sweating. I was like, 'I can’t remember my lines. I’m blanked!'" But she further explained, "The crew was always supporting me. They were like, 'You’re a singer, now you’re acting — you’re doing great, Lisa.'"

Prior to auditioning, she says she was a huge fan of the series and was "so lucky and happy that I got the role." There also might be more roles in the future as she concluded that she "definitely" wants to continue acting. 

White confessed to The Hollywood Reporter that he "did not know who Lisa or Blackpink was." He continued to explain, "All I knew was that there was a Blackpink girl [her bandmate, Jennie Kim] in The Idol, and I was like, 'We’re not doing that.' Then I found out that there might be security issues, and I was just like, 'No.'"

However, he described her audition as "amazing," expressing that she was "so nice and uncomplicated," but he still did not want to cast her. 

"I’m just used to not having so much attention; we don’t need it. But I wanted to be respectful to Thailand. She’s like Taylor Swift meets Princess Diana there," he told the outlet. "She’s more than just a pop star, I just didn’t get it initially. When we cast her, there were people in the production that cried."

The finale attracted 6.2 million U.S. cross-platform viewers, marking the series' third consecutive week of record-breaking highs. The show has already been renewed for a fourth season but will have a new ensemble.
