White Lotus, HBO Max latest drama, concluded their fourth episode with an ass eating scene that still has viewers shook.
The series follows some wealthy vacationers as they visit a luxurious Hawaiin resort, but their flippancy and entitlement result in one of their tragic deaths. Jennifer Coolidge, Murray Barlett, Natasha Rothwell, Connie Britton, Alexandra Daddario, Fred Hechinger, Jake Lacy, Brittany O’Grady, Sydney Sweeney, and Steve Zahn star in the show, but all eyes are currently on Lukas Gage, who was on the receiving end of the butt play on Sunday's episode.
“I can’t wait for my ass to get retweeted all over the Internet,” Gage joked The A.V. Club. The actor revealed that while it was written in the script that Armond and Dillon would get caught having sex, the two actors actually suggested the switch to a rim job. "We said, ‘Wouldn’t it be more interesting if [Dillon’s] getting his salad tossed? I mean, how often do we see that on TV?' I think it’s much more interesting and more jarring to walk in on."
Bartlet, who is no stranger to gay sex scenes with his roles in Looking and Tales of the City, confirmed how the moment went down to Digital Spy. "I think the shock value of that for people who are not used to that kind of... configuration of intimacy, is really brilliant."
Gage knew to expect some shockers when it came to working with The White Lotus creator Mike White. "I love that there’s a natural defiance in almost everything that he does. There’s a sense of burning down the system in his writing, and I love that, in this moment, Armond kind of just says, 'fuck it all!'"
Twitter had some thoughts after the episode:
Even Gage joined in on the fun with a hilarious response to one commenter. "Big congrats to @lukasgage for going from having his ass beaten up in one HBO show to having his ass eaten up in a different HBO show." The actor replied, "i want this on my grave."
As you can imagine, there were a few NSFW tweets we won't show on this page but if you wanted to click through, that's certainly your right!
Episode 4 of White Lotus is on HBO Max now, and new episodes premiere every Sunday.
