Seems like a “White Lotus” storyline.
Carrie Coon, 44, appeared on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast Monday and mentioned that she and her husband, Tracy Letts, let one another take a look at different folks — and overtly discuss who they’ve the hots for.
Coon later needed to make clear that she shouldn’t be in an open marriage.
“Settle down, internet! I said ‘open minded’ not ‘open,’” she wrote on X on Tuesday.
Coon and Letts, 59, have been married since 2013. They’ve two kids collectively, son Haskell, who was born in 2018, and a daughter, who was born in 2021.
On Marc Maron’s podcast, Coon described the couple as “not jealous people.”
“That’s the nice thing about a marriage where everything’s on the table; you talk about everything,” she mentioned. “We don’t have any of those hang-ups. So we never wanna be, like, the police, you know? So it’s nice to be in a relationship where we can always talk about, like, ‘Who are you attracted to on set?’ It’s so fun. I love it.”
The “Gilded Age” star mentioned that her playwright husband is “the kind of person who sees everybody on the street. And every woman.”
“He always tells me who he has a crush on,” Coon defined. “We love talking about it. It’s fun. It’s interesting to know what your partner’s into. It’s titillating.”
Coon additionally declared that the couple “don’t really like lines. Lines are really boring.”
Earlier than marrying Coon, Letts was in a relationship with fellow actor Holly Wantuch till her loss of life in 1998. The tragedy, in response to Coon, is why Letts is so relaxed about how he behaves of their marriage.
“I think Tracy understood then from a very young age because he went through it, he would never begrudge anyone a human experience,” she shared.
“Every day after that, for him, was a gift he got to continue living in the world,” Coon defined. “He sort of embraced being a person of appetites. Acknowledging that we have these proclivities.”
She added, “I don’t think either one of us would want to keep the other from living.”
Coon and Letts met in 2010 whereas engaged on a Broadway revival of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
Letts has gained a Pulitzer Prize and two Tony Awards for his playwriting. As an actor, he’s appeared in movies like “Lady Bird,” “The Post,” “Ford v Ferrari” and “Little Women.”
