The White Lotus season 3 might be the Max show's best iteration yet. Creator Mike White has successfully brought on an ensemble cast on the third season of The White Lotus to the extent that each of their individual storylines and character arcs effortlessly blend into each other. One of the somewhat unexpected scenes from the latest episode of The White Lotus Season 3 that aired on March 16 involved the Ratliff brothers kissing each other.
According to a report by Deadline, the scene in question gave rise to widespread controversy and has been the buzz of the moment ever since. The brothers Lochlan, played by Sam Nivola, and Saxon, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger kissed each other as the culmination of a storyline that had been brewing ever since the latest season's premiere.
The White Lotus co-star Charlotte Le Bon, who plays the character of Chloe, recently shed light on the allegedly incestuous kissing scene and how it was filmed. Here's everything that we know.
The White Lotus star Charlotte Le Bon reveals details of the kissing scene between Saxon and Lochlan
In a recent interview with Vulture magazine, French actor, director, and writer Charlotte Le Bon opened up on the kissing scene involving Schwarzenegger and Nivola. She remarked:
"Well obviously they’re not brothers by blood, so that made it easier. I think for Patrick it was really difficult. For Sam, he was kind of like, ‘It’s whatever, let’s just do it well one time and it will be over.’ You know? Because if you don’t do it well the first time, then you have to do it over and over again."
She further added:
"But Patrick’s reaction in the episode is his genuine reaction. We all thought he was going to throw up. And Sam was like, ‘It’s fine, it’s just a kiss, calm down!’”
Charlotte Le Bon speaks about her character Chloe
Chloe has been presented on the Prime Video show as a character who thrives in intense parties and is always chasing the next high. Her connection to Greg Hunt appears to be ambiguous because of her barely revealed history. In the same interview with Vulture, Le Bon also spoke about Chloe and her motivations:
"I think Chloe is deeply, deeply bored. There’s a void inside of her. She fills that void with partying, s*x and chaos. This kiss between the two brothers for her is just pure entertainment, which is obviously really evil when you think about it.”
The White Lotus season 3 is exclusively available on Max.
