“ The White Lotus ”: Jason Isaacs on the scenes of season 3 of Tim’s Cut 3

The HBO anthology series “The White Lotus” is known for having generated strong reactions from its delighted audience, but even the star of the season three Jason Isaacs – who knows the fate of his character, Timothy Ratliff, for more than a year – was left with misty eyes after looking at the final with his Costars.

“It’s like the end of the summer camp when you are 11 years old, but I am not 11 years old,” Isaacs told Business Insider on Tuesday. “I was surprised how emotional I became, how we were all on the verge of tears all night.”

The final of Sunday presented several heartbreaking interactions and the dead that the casting had to keep a secret – but not the actors, who spent about seven months filming on the spot in Thailand, knew exactly how the stories of their characters would end, because many scenes they have shot have never surrendered.

In the episode of Monday of “The White Lotus Official Podcast”, the creator and director of the show, Mike White, revealed that the 90 -minute final originally included a scene where Timothy’s daughter, Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook), lost her virginity because of the son of Belinda (Nicholas Duvernay).

“It would have added 10 minutes to the thing,” said White, so he was left on the floor room. (“I’m happy,” joked Isaacs. “I don’t want to see my daughter having sex.”)

“Everyone had things that looked like members and cut organs,” said Isaacs. “But I mean, that is part of the process. Mike’s writing is so brilliant, you cannot bear to lose a semicolon.” In the end, Isaacs said: “You just had to swallow and have confidence that he made the right decision in the assembly.”

Isaacs included in this count, answering “Oh my God, yes!” When he was asked if he had filmed something crucial or juicy who was ultimately rebuilt. Overall, however, he said that his character’s arc was held more intact than the others.

“For me, because Tim has a moment so terrible catastrophically, I missed a few big laughs that I had. Because everyone laughed.” The great reward of the series was when Mike went to one of his hysterical runs behind the instructor. And there was a couple, I know that I had left. “

“I have the impression of having lost perhaps less than other people, like Sarah Catherine, who was very upset by the whole scenario,” he added to Piper by Sarah Catherine Hook. “I haven’t lost a whole scenario, at least.”

While the Ratliff family has a complex and tragic dynamic on the screen, Isaacs got closer to its Costarres in real life – in particular Hook, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola, who played the sons of his character, Saxon and Loch resort respectively. He said that the four players have a group conversation and regularly checked each other.

Aimee Lou Wood, who played the favorite character of Chelsea fans in front of Rick de Walton Gogggins, recently declared that the casting “accidentally” had been a method during the filming of the sequence of eight episodes, blurring the border between fiction and reality.

Although Isaacs agreed that experience has created a “really intense intimacy” between the Costares, he said that Wood’s comments do not apply to everyone.

“I think she talks for herself and Walton. They had their own script, which is very different from our scenarios,” he said. “Walton and Aimee Lou built this beautiful and brilliant relationship in all ways.”

“We were not” method “, he continued, referring to the Ratliff family. “I mean, we had a lot of time together. We had a good time together. We went out on boats, made trips, we ate together, we watched films together and played cards together and things. I don’t know if it feeds work or not.”
