Carrie Coon Reacts to That Viral 'White Lotus' Running Moment & Why the Three Women Didn't Look Too Upset on the Boat

Carrie Coon is speaking out about a few viral moments from her in The White Lotus season three finale.

Both moments concerned Carrie‘s character Laurie, and her friends Kate (Leslie Bibb) and Jacklyn (Michelle Monaghan).

One moment she addressed was the mass shooting they were witness to, and then leaving the resort on the boat afterwards as if they were barely phased.

Carrie responded, telling Variety, “I love that, because [creator Mike White] was very specifically looking for, Jaclyn’s having an emotional [experience]. She’s processing it. And Laurie is there to be practical, and help her. And then he just gave Kate this moment of contemplation. We don’t really know what’s going on there. Leslie’s performance across the season was so nuanced, so specific and funny, I’m glad that she got that final frame. But there was Jaclyn, I think, probably making it about her.”

She was then asked about the shot during the shooting where her character runs away so quickly like her life literally depended on it.

Carrie said, “There wasn’t direction. I knew the gunshot was going to happen, and we were going to run into the bushes, essentially. Look, I’m an American and I’m a New Yorker, and if you think I don’t know where the exits are in any building I’m in, then you’re not paying attention to the news. I thought, what would a person do? A person would f-cking run, would book it, and I’m fast. I’m not as fast as I used to be! Some polite Thai workers were kind of scampering through in the background. I was like, ‘No, no, you need to have some Americans sprinting and hitting the deck, and jumping in the lagoon. The Americans are not playing. They know what this means!’”
