The latest episode of The White Lotus stirred controversy with a shocking scene between brothers Lochlan and Saxon. Actors Sam Nivola and Patrick Schwarzenegger navigated the complexities of portraying an intimate moment, expressing that the situation felt strange given their real-life friendship and sexual orientations. Nivola emphasized the thematic depth behind their performance, describing how the awkward act represented his character's desperate attempt to gain affection from Saxon, ultimately leading to rejection and confusion. The scene's rawness indicated that intimate portrayals can be both challenging and revealing in the context of relationships.
"It felt sort of fucked up. It was very weird kissing Patrick because he's a really good friend of mine. I'm straight, he's straight."
"The sexual nature of that scene is just a blown-out, big way of saying: I'm trying to please Saxon in any way in order to feel loved in return."
