He went on to talk about he usually mixes his biological children with his TV kids, saying, “I fell madly in love with Patrick and [Sam Nivola] and [Sarah Catherine Hook] as my fake kids.”
“In fact, when my real daughters came to visit, I said ‘let’s go out and eat with the kids,’ and they went, ‘Dad, we’re your kids,’ “Isaacs said of filming The White Lotus. “I’m like, ‘Sorry.'”
The Patriot also went to talk about missing his co-stars specially Schwarzenegger at the event.
He said that although “it is a lovely reunion” at the award show, “I wish everybody was here.”
Revealing Schwarzenegger’s whereabouts he added, “Patrick’s shooting in London, my hometown. It’s weird that some people get nominated and other people don’t, people have the most dramatic things to do, but I thought everybody was magnificent in the show.”
Unfortunately out of nine nominations The White Lotus won none.
