    Patrick Schwarzenegger was bombarded with money from fans while they watched him on 'White Lotus'

    The 31-year-old actor made the revelation during an interview with People, where he sat down with his former co-star on the show, Aimee Lou Wood, to promote their new partnership with Venmo, ahead of the launch of the brand's debit card and expanded checkout features


    He said: "I don't know if this ever happened to you, Aimee - I sent it in our group text from 'White Lotus' - but I have people that sent me money on Venmo during episodes of 'White Lotus'.

    "It was really strange."

    He added: "I sent it all back, don't worry. But I did. I got a lot of people that sent me money."

    Aimee, 31, said she hadn't experienced anything quite like that - though her own memories of filming involved a rather expensive coconut habit while on location in Thailand.

    "It was chronic," she said, adding: "I could not stop with the coconuts. I just absolutely loved them! I was so hydrated. I think I was overly hydrated, actually."

    The pair spent seven months filming the hit HBO series last summer, and said their new work with Venmo came at the perfect time - days after they had been discussing the possibility of collaborating again.

    "We immediately texted each other," Patrick said.

    He added: "We were both so excited to be able to work with Venmo, but also get to work with each other once again. And then Venmo had these different ideas of doing this amazing commercial and video and dancing to this song of 'You Can Venmo This' and 'You Can Venmo That.'

    "The whole experience was just really fun and put us in a fun situation to get to dance with each other."

    Aimee agreed, and reflected on the intense bond formed during the extended production, admitting to feeling "separation anxiety" after filming wrapped.

    She said: "Seven months all of us together, in the same place, and then I went back to England and it was so lonely."

    Patrick added he and Aimee have remained close, spending significant time together in recent weeks.

    He said: "Aimee and I worked in L.A. together, and then we both flew to New York and we worked on the same shoot in New York, and then the next day we got to do the Met Ball together.

    "Then the next day we both flew to London for a week and worked together, and then I stayed for a couple of days and had some extra days off and we got to hang."
