Theo James is baring it all in “The White Lotus.”
HBO’s hit show “The White Lotus” returned Sunday night with an all-new cast as well as a new scene that left audiences with an eyeful.
The scene in question has the 37-year-old British actor stripping fully nude, giving audiences an unobscured view of his backside as well as a partial view of his impressive front — leaving several viewers wondering if he wore a prosthetic.
James has revealed that his nude scene was initially going to be “more graphic”.
Joining the hit HBO show for season 2, which swaps Maui for Sicily, James stars as Cameron Babcock in Mike White’s The White Lotus, and he’s made a big impression on fans with a full-frontal nude scene.
The scene in the series premiere sees James’ Cameron Babcock as he follows Aubrey Plaza’s Harper Spiller to her hotel room where he plans on borrowing a pair of swimming trunks from Harper’s husband.
As Babcock changes into the shorts in front of Harper, she catches a glimpse of his nudity in a mirror while fetching some suncream and doesn’t know where to look.
The initial version we shot was way too much,” said James. “So, we did a more subtle version. They toned it [down].”
It is in my contract that I’m not allowed to do anything without being completely naked,” joked James — who has an on-screen history of getting naked.
The White Lotus” second season takes place in Italy and features an ensemble of stars including James, Plaza, Jon Gries and Jennifer Coolidge.
The White Lotus” airs every Sunday on HBO and HBO Max.
