Jason Isaacs has voiced his thoughts on the widespread discussions triggered by his explicit nude scene on The White Lotus.
The actor shocked viewers worldwide in the gasp-worthy scene, when his character accidentally exposed himself to his family when his robe slipped open.
Speculation has been rife as to whether or not Issacs was using a prosthetic in the scene, and while rumours have been put to bed, the actor has had his say on the matter.
“A lot of people are debating it. It’s all over the internet,” Isaacs said in an interview with CBS Mornings when asked if he used a prosthetic.
When asked directly by host Gayle King, Issacs responded: “I’ll explain my reasoning because, in my opinion, Mikey Madison was the best actress this year at the Oscars. And yet, nobody seems to be discussing her personal aspect, which is frequently shown on television. I’m not referring to Volvos from Sweden here.
“I think it’s interesting that there’s a double standard for men, but when women are naked, Margaret Qualley in The Substance, no one would dream of talking to her about her genitalia or her nipples or any of those things,” he went on. “So, it’s odd that there’s a double standard.”
When co-host Tony Dokoupil added that whether or not Isaacs had used a prosthetic had been the talk of the studio all morning, Isaacs asked: “What is your obsession? Mike White is a brilliant writer, it’s the best series on television for a long time. And what is the obsession with penises? It’s an odd thing.”
While Isaacs has shied away from revealing how the scene came to fruition, his co-stars Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola have answered the question everyone seemingly wants the answer to.
In a recent interview with TV Insider, the actors revealed that Isaacs “took pride in the prosthetic”.
Hook chuckled, “It seems I overlooked that detail. Life gets hectic, you know? And at times, I find myself lost in the chaos.” Then, with a wry grin, Nivola interjected, “That definitely wasn’t his actual member.
Hook thought it was hilarious, and he was thrilled to use it. I believe he took great satisfaction from the prosthesis. He gave that person a well-aimed shot.
Previously, Isaacs acknowledged the controversy caused by fans, and proposed that Mike White is trying to rectify any imbalance in the amount of nudity shown on screen.
“He’s trying to right the balance of how many naked women I’ve seen growing up on every television show and film,” he said (via Decider). “Nudity is the thing. He uses it sometimes for comedy, sometimes for sex, sometimes for manipulation.
“It’s a good TV moment.”
