The salaries of the actors of De Witte Lotus were announced: not at all what we had imagined

Jason Isaex, one of the stars of the third season of the White Lotus, confirmed in an interview VultureThat the main cast only receives $ 40,000 per series. According to the standards of HBO – almost a cent.

For comparison: Sarah Jessica Parker at the peak of “Sex in the Big City” received $ 3.2 million per episode, Zendya spent $ 1 million per series “Euphoria” and each of the most important actors of the “heirs” earned $ 300,000 to $ 350,000. Against this background, White Lotus looks like a student art house.

Isaex took the issue of money calmly, although he noticed that the actors usually try not to publicly discuss the reimbursements:

“It always sounds ridiculous – make -up, strange voices and for these quantities. This is annoying. But according to the standards of the industry – yes, this is cheap. Although, to be honest, we would have paid ourselves, just to act there. Or we would give an organ.”

What explains this price tag? Conditions. During filming, actors live in five Star Hotels, where the action takes place, often with families. Between the doubles – the sun, the beach, Thailand in all its glory. The producer of the show calls the film process a “summer camp for adults”, and Isaex describes it itself as “a five -star guild cage” – where everything is “absolutely delightful” one day, and a conditional “Lord of Flies” starts in the other.

So strictly speaking they don’t pay them alone with money – they pay a pleasant pastime. Or, as HBO would say, “immersion in the atmosphere.” Well, the fact that the viewer receives an ironic parable every season about class disturbances, a spiritual crisis and beautiful people in the swimming pool is already a pleasant bonus.
