Actor Theo James has an enormous…humorousness relating to starring in nude scenes for HBO’s “The White Lotus.”
Showing Friday on “The Tonight Present with Jimmy Fallon,” the actor — who went viral for a steamy scene within the second season premiere of the comedy-drama collection — revealed that the pretend “pee-pee” he wore for the NSFW scene within the present was “ginormous.”
The much-talked-about nude scene options James, who performs businessman Cameron Babcock, stripping fully bare to vary right into a swimsuit whereas Harper (Aubrey Plaza) watches within the lavatory.
“The reality of it was, you go into these scenes, and you've got a dialog with the director and the producers and so they go, ‘Okay, for this, we’re going to make use of a prosthetic,’” the 37-year-old recalled of the favored scene. “And also you say, ‘Okay, that sounds good.’”
Nonetheless, regardless of giving his enter to make-up chief Rebecca Hickey about eager to sport a extra modest fake penis, issues didn’t fairly go in line with plan.
“I stated, ‘Truthfully, I simply need it to not be distracting,’” he instructed host Jimmy Fallon.
“It must be ‘Common Joe.’ As a result of the scene, you realize, it’s not concerning the pee pee; it’s about energy play and intercourse. It’s about whether or not he did it intentionally or whether or not it was an accident and what which means. She says, ‘I acquired you. Yeah, I acquired you. Common Joe.’” James continued.
To James’ shock, “Common Joe” was not what he acquired.
In response to the British actor, when he arrived on set, Hickey approached him with a pretend penis so outrageously giant that it regarded like she had “a hammer.”
“I imply, it’s greater than that. It’s like she stole it off a donkey within the discipline. The factor is ginormous. And me and the director, Mike White, are sitting there going, ‘That’s… common, is it?’” he joked.
James then quipped that each he and White instantly ran off to name their “respective companions” to profusely apologize, like “I’m so sorry.”
“It was 9 inches flat and about 4 inches vast. We have been like, ‘What the hell is that?’” he added, laughing.
Talking to Leisure Tonight in October, James shared it “felt pure” to go sans garments in entrance of the digital camera for the scene within the primetime Emmy-winning collection.
He jokingly added, “It's in my contract that I’m not allowed to do something with out being fully bare.”
Only a month later, James instructed the outlet that audiences didn’t get an opportunity to see the preliminary scene they deliberate as a result of it was “manner an excessive amount of,” in order that they “toned it [down].”
“The unique derivation of it, it’s type of full-frontal, if you realize what I imply. We shot that and it felt an excessive amount of, too aggressive,” he instructed Leisure Weekly in November. “What we got here to is a little more opaque, and that’s precisely what Mike does so properly. You’re by no means positive one hundred percent of the characters’ intentions.”
