Get to know the breakout stars of TheWhiteLotus.
I knew about the first season, but it wasn’t really famous in Italy; only people from the industry knew it. I got the e-mail about a self tape, so I spent an entire day preparing. When Mike White arrived in Rome, we did a first audition, and I was done in 10 minutes. When I left I felt, Oh, maybe that didn’t go well...I felt I could have done it better. But then a couple of days after, my agent called me and said, I’m not supposed to tell you this, but Mike White really likes you and Simona.
What’s the biggest difference between working with a friend on a project and working with new people?I remember one of the first nights in Taormina, we were both really excited. We couldn’t sleep. So I went to Simona’s room and we started to rehearse scenes. And then we got crazy. We started playing, like, I’m Mia, you’re Lucia! Let’s pretend we’re amazed by everything in this hotel! So when we started filming, we already had that confidence to work together.
I didn’t really interact a lot with [my romantic scene partners]—at least, not in the same way that Simona did. But I had the chance to work mainly with Giuseppe, played by Federico Scribani, the pianist. He’s incredible, and such a great comedian—and he’d never done anything in comedy before this role! He’s the complete opposite of his character. I actually saw him a week ago, because we were doing a screening of the first episode in Italy. We saw it together.
Season two largely centers toxic masculinity. Were there any aspects of how men operate in society that you wanted to bring to light through your own performances, perhaps based on real-life encounters you’ve had with men?There was something about my character being very open to everyone—always smiling and dreaming and telling everybody about her dreams—and how that is perceived by men.
It’s this funny paradox, because as women, we’re conditioned to be polite, sweet, and friendly—and then, all of a sudden, that means that you’re a tease or a flirt.Men tend to think, She’s definitely hitting on me, if a woman is just being nice. But it was interesting how Mike turned that into a comedy for my character. Somehow, he saw there was something about me there. So he used it.
