“White Lotus Stars Spill Tea on Awkward Threesome Scene That Left Fans Shook”
Ah yes, the age-old tale of filming a steamy scene with your best friend—what could possibly go wrong? In a recent interview, Sam Nivola, the latest breakout star of HBO’s “The White Lotus,” dished on the hilariously uncomfortable experience of filming a threesome scene alongside his close friend, Patrick Schwarzenegger. Nivola, who plays Lochlan, and Schwarzenegger, portraying his brother Saxon, found themselves in quite the predicament when they had to indulge in a drug-fueled escapade with their co-star Charlotte Le Bon. “It was very weird kissing Patrick because he’s a really good friend of mine,” Nivola confided, revealing the added layers of discomfort that came with their off-screen camaraderie.
As if navigating this awkward terrain wasn’t enough, Nivola confessed to being a nervous wreck. You see, this was his first time tackling a sex scene, and the added challenge of filming on a boat—yes, a boat—had him feeling seasick in more ways than one. “The actual scene itself went smoothly,” he assured, crediting the calm presence of show creator Mike White and the support of his co-stars. But let’s be real: who wouldn’t find it a tad bizarre to lock lips with someone who’s practically family—on and off-screen?
Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger echoed the sentiment of unexpected turns when he read the scripts, hinting that he, too, was taken aback by the wild directions the plot took. “I mean, we had an idea, it’s ‘The White Lotus,’ and there’s going to be something crazy,” he noted, leaving us all wondering just how much crazier it could get. As the third season unfolds, with stars like Lalisa Manobal joining the mix, one thing’s for sure: “The White Lotus” continues to be a treasure trove of shocking and sensational moments. Class dismissed—let’s hope the next episode doesn’t leave us in more knots than a sailor’s knot.
