Jason Isaacs Clarifies 'White Lotus' Cast Drama Speculation & All the Theories Circulating From 'Amateur Sherlock Holmes' Sleuths
Jason Isaac is clarifying some of his previous quotes.
During The White Lotus press tour, he notably talked about the show’s seven month shoot in Thailand.
“I can’t pretend I wasn’t involved in some off-screen drama. There were times when things were not quite so fond,” he said to The Guardian.
“It was a theatre camp, but to some extent an open prison camp,” he continued, adding, “you couldn’t avoid one other…There are tensions and difficulties. I don’t know if they spilled from on screen to off-screen, or if it would have happened anyway.”
Well, there have been lots of theories that have come off of those quotes.
One fan theory that has been circulating is that Chelsea and Rick actors Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins are involved in some sort of feud.
Now, Jason is clarifying.

On “The Happy Hour” on SiriusXM’s TODAY Show Radio, Jason said, “I will tell you this. I told the truth, which we were there, it’s a whole community. It was a city and it wasn’t just the actors. People need to remember it was the actors and the crew and the administrators and all these people were in a little pressure cooker together. And like anywhere you go for the summer, there’s friendships, there’s romances, there’s arguments, there’s cliques that form and break and reform and stuff like that. I read – I’m careful. I’m not stupid. I look at the Internet. I only read every single word written about The White Lotus and about everybody in it. And all these amateur Sherlock Holmes out there, they’re extrapolating, ‘well, one person posted this,’ and nobody has the slightest clue what they’re talking about.”
He continued, “People who think they’re onto something, and it then it gets magnified because of a thousand other people. Nobody has any clue I’m talking about. I’m talking about people you’ve never met before half the time, in different departments and the people in the hair and costume and the in the accounts department and stuff. And, you know, first of all, it’s none of your business. And I’m just saying it wasn’t a holiday, and partly I started saying that because people think, we were on a seven-month holiday and believe me, it felt like work a lot of the time. It was insanely hot and there’s all the normal social tensions you get anywhere, but for all of you think you’ve cracked it by something you think someone has posted or is in a photo or not, you’re just so far from the truth, believe me.”
