Jason Isaacs Says 'The White Lotus' Shot a Second Full-Frontal — Then Cut It

Isaacs told Jimmy Kimmel Live a second, funnier flashing was filmed then removed by creator Mike White.

Overview

  • During an Aug. 18 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Isaacs said a second full-frontal take was shot for his Season 3 moment.
  • He described the discarded take as funnier, with the kids yelling “Dad, put it away,” and said Mike White cut it because the rest of the scene didn’t work.
  • Co-stars Sam Nivola and Sarah Catherine Hook have stated the on-screen nudity involved a prosthetic.
  • Isaacs told Entertainment Weekly that additional comedic bits were trimmed for time and shared exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the Thailand shoot.
  • His performance earned a 2025 Emmy nomination for supporting actor, and he has since apologized to Variety for earlier wording about nudity discourse.
