WATCH: Maria Shriver Crashes Son’s Today Show Appearance: ‘Hi Mom!’

When your mom is Maria Shriver, always get ready for a little party-crashing from time to time.

When Patrick Scwarzenegger was being interviewed on the Today show while promoting his movie Midnight Sun, his mom Maria paid a surprise visit.

“We’re thinking it’d be kinda cool if one of your craziest fans called in,” Hoda Kotb told the 24-year-old. “I think we have one of your number ones on the phone. Hi, are you here to talk to Patrick?” That’s when Maria called.

“Hi, Mom,” he replied, when she asked whether the film is “for women of a certain age” or “just for young girls.”

Maria proceeded to praise her son’s work ethic, though she may have caused him some embarrassment when she revealed that “he goes out on auditions all the time and gets rejected and he just keeps at it and tries to get better and better and I think that’s what it takes.”
