Actor Jason Isaacs has expressed frustration over the constant debate surrounding his prosthetic penis in the recent season of “The White Lotus”. Despite cast members confirming that a prosthetic was used, Isaacs believes there’s a double standard when it comes to discussing male and female nudity.
Isaacs made his comments on “CBS Mornings”, highlighting the disparity between how men’s and women’s bodies are treated. He noted that when women appear naked, such as in Margaret Qualley’s role in “The Substance”, no one discusses their genitalia or nipples. However, when a male character appears naked, like Isaacs’ character Timothy Ratliff, the conversation shifts to whether a prosthetic was used.
Isaacs jokingly referred to his prosthetic penis as “the sausage” and expressed his disdain for the fixation on penises. He praised writer Mike White’s work on “The White Lotus”, calling it the best series on television. The cast members who play Isaacs’ children found the scene funny, with one describing their co-star’s enthusiasm for wearing the prosthetic.
New episodes of “The White Lotus” air on HBO and Max on Sunday nights at 9pm ET.
