Patrick Schwarzenegger’s meet-up with Paris Hilton

As teenagers, we have all worked part-time jobs to get extra pocket money. Some of us worked at an ice-cream parlor, while some worked at a bowling alley. Even Patrick Schwarzenegger, also a member of the Kennedy family on his mother’s side, did similar jobs as a teenager.

Growing up, the Schwarzenegger family had strict rules. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver made it a point to let their children grow up normally and not like star kids. Therefore, Patrick Schwarzenegger worked at a shopping center in Los Angeles. At 15, he would work as a valet, security guard, give lease management tours, etc.

Interestingly, he served as the bodyguard for Paris Hilton while working at The Grove. Hilton was coming to The Grove for her book tour when Schwarzenegger got assigned the task. As she got out of the car, Schwarzenegger introduced himself to Hilton. The singer reacted, “Patrick? Schwarzenegger? What are you doing?” he replied, “I’m your security guard for the day!”

The actor recalls it as a fun experience. But this shows how good of a parenting duo he had. They sent their son out into the world at an early age, which helped him hone his personality. It also meant Patrick Schwarzenegger would have fun work-related stories to share.
