Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and more recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about their experiences filming The White Lotus Season 3. While they were excited to share some details, they were also bound by secrecy agreements and had to be careful about what they revealed.
During the interview, Parker Posey, who stars in the show, mentioned that she couldn’t say much about the upcoming season, but confirmed that it takes place in Thailand and that it’s very hot there. She expressed her enthusiasm for being a part of the show and mentioned that she had waited a long time to play a Southern woman, so she relished the opportunity to deliver a Southern accent.
Jimmy Fallon praised Posey’s performance in the series and remarked that her accent was on point. She thanked him and shared her love for playing her character, expressing how much she enjoyed the drama and comedy in portraying a Southern woman.
The conversation then turned to Mike White, the creator of The White Lotus. Posey mentioned that she had met him years ago and had always wanted to work with him. She recounted a funny story about bumping into him at a Halloween party hosted by Jennifer Coolidge, one of her co-stars on the show.
Posey described her costume for the party, which was inspired by Cinderella before the ball. She explained that she had a vintage prairie skirt and a turn-of-the-century blouse, along with hairpieces from a movie she did years ago. She laughed as she recalled the fun they had at the Halloween party, where Mike White dressed as Hansel from “Hansel and Gretel.”
Switching gears, Leslie Bibb joined the conversation and expressed her excitement for being a part of The White Lotus. Fallon complimented her performance and mentioned that fans loved her character. Bibb shared that she hadn’t watched the show yet because she was critical of herself and didn’t want the bubble of success to burst.
Fallon reassured Bibb that she was doing an amazing job and read a headline from The Daily Beast that suggested she should receive a special Emmy award for her smile in the show. Bibb downplayed it and mentioned that she hadn’t practiced her smile, finding the idea quite amusing.
As the interview continued, the cast members discussed how they played friends on the show and referred to themselves as the “Blonde Blob” because they found it challenging to tell each other apart. They shared anecdotes about how they would talk about each other when one of them was absent, just like in the show.
The conversation soon shifted to Sam Rockwell, Bibb’s real-life partner. Fallon and Bibb expressed their admiration for Rockwell’s work and how much they loved him. They joked around and had fun, creating a light-hearted atmosphere.
Towards the end of the interview, Fallon played a clip featuring Parker Posey and Leslie Bibb from different episodes of The White Lotus, showcasing their exceptional performances. The clip highlighted the intense and dramatic moments that fans have come to appreciate in the series.
Fallon wrapped up the interview by thanking Posey and Bibb for joining him on the show and expressing his excitement for the finale of The White Lotus. The cast members bid farewell, leaving the audience eager to watch the show and see how the season unfolds.
Overall, the interview provided glimpses into the behind-the-scenes experiences of the cast members and gave fans a taste of the excitement and anticipation surrounding The White Lotus Season 3.
