‘The White Lotus’: Theo James confirms he used a ‘gigantic’ prosthetic in his nude, even though he wanted something ‘normal’

Since its premiere on October 30, ‘The White Lotus’ season 2 is giving a lot to talk about. However, one of the moments that shook social media the most is in the first episode and lasts just fifteen seconds: it is the explicit nude of Cameron Sullivan (Theo James) in the presence of Harper Spiller (Aubrey Plaza)which is shown shamelessly wearing one of her husband’s bathing suits.

“Wow, Theo James really has it all.”

Seeing the size of the member, which was clearly visible despite being in profile, rumors of a possible prosthesis emerged.. In an interview on Jimmy Fallon’s show, the presenter never missed an opportunity to joke about it: “People Thought It Was the Loch Ness Monster”. She congratulates him on that, but it doesn’t take long for the actor to confirm the rumors.

“It’s a prosthesis”he admits, even laughing at the size of the piece. “Thank God! You’ve made a lot of men feel good right now.”Fallon replies. Previously, they had made many jokes about it, with Fallon telling her: “Sit down, I don’t want you to get tired, we’ll get you out of here in a wheelchair”and James replies “Sometimes I can’t breathe because of how much weight”. However, the actor reacted with the same surprise of fans when he saw the prosthesis for the first time. When the makeup department told her she was going to wear prosthetics, That was fine with him, but he claimed he wanted it to be something inside “the normal”. However, as everyone saw, the result was very different.

Said the makeup manager “Got it, normal”but when she shows him the final prosthetic, James says so It seemed “a hammer, or even bigger: it looked like it was stolen from a donkey. It was gigantic”. He says both he and director Mike White were puzzled when they saw it. “It’s normal?”joked the actor, who says they both called their partners “to apologize”. The prosthesis in question “It was over 9 inches in the flaccid state and about four inches in diameter. We were like ‘what the hell is that?'”.

a big distraction

Theo James comments it to Jimmy Fallon his great concern with the nude was that “distracted” from the scene. Ultimately, it underlines it “The scene isn’t about that, it’s about the power dynamics in sex, if he did it on purpose, if it was an accident, what does that mean”. His co-star, Meghann Fahy, has claimed nudity in the series “they are never arbitrary”but “They’re always character-driven and drive the story forward. [historia]”. We’ll have to wait and see if the latest episode even has a “heartwarming storyline” moment that’s noteworthy.

* The last episode of the second season of ‘White Lotus’, titled ‘Goodbye’, airs on next Sunday 11 December on HBO Max.
