Leslie Bibb has shed light on the most significant test she encountered on set in Thailand, which surprisingly wasn’t related to the heat.
The White Lotus star has been in a relationship with renowned actor Sam Rockwell, known for his roles in The Green Mile and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, for an impressive 17 years.
Inherent in their acting careers are the long distances that sometimes separate them due to various filming locales. To mitigate this, Leslie and Sam have committed to a principle of reuniting every three weeks whenever feasible, regardless of their locations.
Nevertheless, with the world resuming its pace post-Covid, sticking to this agreement has grown more challenging. This was evident during the 50 year old’s six-month stint filming The White Lotus in Thailand, where Rockwell could only visit once.
Moreover, Bibb divulged to the Mail’s Andrew Barker what she found to be the most challenging part of the experience.
Leslie disclosed, “He was shooting in South Africa, so we ended up having to go three months. I had to go to South Africa. Then he finished and came back with me so I could finish in Bangkok.”
The eagerly anticipated black comedy The White Lotus is set to make its return to HBO for a third season tonight, inviting viewers to a luxurious resort in Koh Samui, Thailand.
Previous seasons have whisked audiences away to Hawaii and Sicily, and while fans are yet to witness season three, the fourth installment has already received the green light.
According to the Mirror, production is scheduled to kick off in 2026 with the upcoming location to be revealed. Meanwhile, Thai rapper Lisa, who’s also part of the famed K-pop ensemble Blackpink, is slated to appear in the third season.
At the premiere, according to Rolling Stone, the star shared her jitters about acting: “I’m so nervous. I was sweating.” further confessing, “I was like, ‘I can’t remember my lines.’ I’m blanked.”
She went on to say: “It is my first acting [experience] so I don’t know what to expect on set, but everybody just being so supportive helped me a lot. So thank you, everyone.”
HBO’s The White Lotus is back tonight (Sunday, February 16) at 9pm, with UK viewers able to tune in via NOW or Sky Atlantic from 2am on Monday, February 17.
