Theo James bares it all during a moment in the first episode of The White Lotus season two, but he’s revealing that a different version of the scene exists.
While changing into a swimsuit, Theo‘s private parts could be seen in the reflection of a mirror while Aubrey Plaza‘s Harper was standing in the bathroom and getting ready. She was given quite a show!
Theo opened up in a new interview about his thoughts on the scene and Aubrey shared what Harper was likely thinking in that moment.

“I thought it was very interesting but also very White Lotus in a Mike [White, the creator,] way. What he does is — this is Mike’s writing — he treads the boundary of how calculated that was, or was it just easy-breezy? On the day, we had to figure out what that was because the original derivation of it, it’s kind of full-frontal, if you know what I mean. We shot that and it felt too much, too aggressive. What we came to is a bit more opaque, and that’s exactly what Mike does so well. You’re never sure a hundred percent of the characters’ intentions,” Theo told EW.
Aubrey added of Harper’s reaction, “She’s really skeptical of this couple, of their motivations, of them as human beings. At that point, she’s trying to play nice, she’s trying to accomodate, but she’s really taken aback. She has no idea if this guy is doing this on purpose in some kind of manipulative way, or if that’s just what you do — people get naked in front of each other, big deal. So it hits a nerve and she doesn’t know how to react. She doesn’t know how she feels. Without spoiling anything, it plants the seed for stuff to come.”
