Leslie Bibb has a extremely popular opinion.
The actress, 50, revealed how she felt about her associate Sam Rockwell’s “White Lotus” Season 3 monologue throughout “Watch What Happens Live” on Tuesday.
“I ran lines with him,” Bibb, 50, shared. “I think that monologue is iconic and I think it’s really what the whole season is about — what [creator Mike White’s] really saying there.”
“He was shooting in South Africa,” Bibb mentioned of Rockwell, 56. “And he decided to do it. They came to him very last minute to do the show because we had gone long and casting had shifted.”
“He was not sure about doing it just because he didn’t have proper prep time,” she recalled. “So we went on a safari in South Africa, and I was like, ‘I’ll get you off book. I’ll get you off book.’”
And that she did.
Rockwell reveals up as Frank in episode 5 of the HBO drama. Frank is as a longtime buddy of Walton Goggins character Rick and the previous friends meet up in Bangkok, Thailand.
Frank then launches right into a puzzling monologue about his intercourse life.
He shared that he moved to Thailand and used to spend a “thousand” nights having intercourse with random ladies, earlier than he determined, “Maybe what I really want is to be one of these Asian girls.”
“So I put out an ad… found a guy who looked a lot like me,” he went on. “I put on some lingerie and perfume, I made myself look like one of those girls. I thought I looked pretty hot.”
Rockwell’s Frank then detailed how throughout some evening three to 4 males would come “rail the sh-t” out of him, and, “at the same time, I’d hire an Asian girl to just sit there and watch the whole thing….I’d look into her eyes while some guy was f–-king me and I’d think, I am her, and I’m f–-king me.”
Rick seemed not sure of how one can reply and would often give Frank an “uh-huh…right…”
Frank then revealed how his experiences led him to develop into a Buddhist, and getting off “the never-ending carousel of lust and suffering.”
Bibb had beforehand touched on Rockwell’s iconic monologue whereas on CBS Mornings.
“I read all eight [episodes] and I remember when I got to this monologue and this scene and I remember thinking, ‘I’ve never seen anything like this on television,’ and I felt like it’s what Mike was really trying to talk about with this show,” she mentioned on Tuesday. “He comes in and he’s like, ‘Here’s my truth’ and he’s unapologetic.”
The actress added that her personal character Kate and her mates might study a factor or two from Frank’s monologue.
“I feel like if the women just came in and did what Frank did and [had] been like, ‘Hey, this is what’s happening in my life,” Bibb mentioned. “I’m having problems with my marriage, I’m drinking too much, I’m doing this,’ whatever, they wouldn’t be gossiping about each other because they would immediately put the shield down and be vulnerable.”
Bibb and Rockwell have been collectively since 2007, with the actor telling the London Commonplace in 2022, “Leslie and I are very happy, we have a good life. We just like it the way it is. We don’t want kids. It’s interesting when you tell people this. They get very upset with you. I know more and more couples who don’t have kids.”
