Parker Posey on 'The White Lotus'Parker Posey had an interesting way of dealing with the intense heat while filming The White Lotus season 3 in Thailand.
During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday, March 12, Posey, 56, spoke about playing the lorazepam-popping Victoria Ratliff in the hit HBO show, admitting that the weather meant it was a bit of a struggle to film at times.
"It was so hot in Thailand, you know what they said at the Elephant Sanctuary? There are three seasons in Thailand - hot, hotter and hottest," Posey told Meyers.
"I had like a Ziploc baggie of ice in between my legs all the time and ice at the side of my chair. I'd just be like holding on to that ice and getting through," she said.

Posey recalled a banyan tree dropping big berries that would often be a "distraction," continuing of the heat, "I'm talking about at night, it's that hot. It's like summer, August New Orleans hot. Atlanta, Georgia, Texas, Austin hot… and then, like, going to a car and turning on the heater. It's like that hot."
"But it's nighttime time and it's outside and you open the door. And it was just like, 'Whew!' I can't believe we did it," she told the host.

"A lot of people are in love with Thailand. When I went back a few weeks ago, I went to the Four Seasons in Koh Samui, where we shot, and they said, 'Welcome home' … It's a beautiful country kingdom," she said, praising the hospitality.

Isaac's White Lotus character has been making headlines this week after he flashed his family in a now-viral full-frontal moment during the March 9 episode.
Nivola, who plays Lochlan, recently told TV Insider that the actor's "real penis" wasn't shown on screen, as Hook, who plays Piper, added, “It was a prosthetic."
Hook continued, “It was really funny. He was very excited to do it. I think he took pride in the prosthetic. He gave that guy a nice shot," per the outlet.
“He’s like, ‘It’s my fake d— scene today!’” Nivola recalled in the interview.
The scene came after season 3 kicked off with a glimpse of Schwarzenegger's nether regions in episode 1.
The White Lotus airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and Max.
