Carrie Coon Says Her ‘White Lotus’ Character Was Written to Have a Nonbinary Child, but That Scene Was Cut After Trump’s Election
Carrie Coon shared that her "White Lotus" character was written to have a "non-binary, maybe trans child," but the scene was cut after Trump's re-election.
“ The White Lotus ” has gotten political during Season 3, with one viral scene that featured Kate (Leslie Bibb) declining to say whether she voted for Donald Trump or not, shocking her friends Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) and Laurie ( Carrie Coon). And considering the way the Trump administration has weaponized the cultural war against transgender people even more since then, when the time came to cut the episode down, Mike felt that the scene was so small and the topic so big that it wasn’t the right way to engage in that conversation,” Coon continued. “His father wrote a very influential book about what it was like to come out as a gay man himself in the evangelical church as an adult, which a lot of young men have read and was a very meaningful text for them in their own journeys,” Coon said.
