The White Lotus stars confirm whether Jason Isaacs’s penis was a prosthetic

One noteworthy scene that sparked much conversation was the explicit nude scene in that particular chapter, which also made a significant impact on the season thus far. This scene, understandably, elicited strong reactions from Tim’s young children, Piper (played by Sarah Catherine Hook) and Lochlan (portrayed by Sam Nivola), expressing their discomfort.

It’s no surprise that questions arose as to whether the scene was genuine or manipulated using some form of prop (similar to the incident in season 2 involving Theo James).

Now, we have our answer: Jason Isaacs’s penis in The White Lotus season 3 was a prosthetic.

According to Hook and Nivola, who recently discussed the scene with TV Insider, Isaacs himself was quite proud of the prosthetic used.

“I kinda forgot about that. There’s so much that happens… and I blacked out,” joked Hook.

“But that wasn’t his real penis,” interjected Nivola.

As a movie enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: “That was a hilarious prop he wore! He seemed thrilled to be part of it. You could tell he took great care and pride in it. He nailed the performance perfectly.

In a simpler, more conversational manner, Nivola remembered that Isaacs showed up on set that morning with excitement: “Today’s the day for my prop-dick scene!

In a different conversation, Isaac himself discussed the surprising incident, implying that the creator of The White Lotus, Mike White, aims to correct the imbalance in on-screen nudity, an area where it has traditionally favored male characters over females.

He expressed that he’s striving to counteract the number of female nude scenes he was exposed to in his childhood through TV shows and movies. Nudity is a recurring theme, often employed for humor, sexuality, or emotional manipulation, according to his statement (via Decider).

“It’s a good TV moment.”
