Woody Harrelson Says His IRL Vacation Took Him Away From The White Lotus
Working hard or hardly working? Woody Harrelson apparently chooses the latter. In a statement to The Daily Beast, Harrelson clarified why he’s not in The White Lotus season 3: it would have gotten in the way of a real vacation with his family. Harrelson was in talks to play the role which eventually went to Sam Rockwell, that of “path of degradation” Buddhist Frank. Rumor had it that Harrelson balked at being paid the same as other cast members, but Harrelson says the reason was much more drama-free. “I was set to do White Lotus and very excited. Unfortunately, their production schedule shifted, and conflicted with a pre-planned family vacation, forcing me to make an extremely hard decision,” he said. “Things must be meant to be though, because I couldn’t have done as fantastic a job as Sam, who is killing it.” And if the White Lotus s3 shoot was as tumultuous as Jason Isaacs made it out to be, who’s to say Woody’s time wasn’t better spent with his family? Sam Rockwell did indeed kill it with that monologue. You know the one.
