'White Lotus' star Jason Isaacs reflected on managing money 'immaturely.' A financial planner breaks down how to avoid doing the same.
For a movie star, Jason Isaacs says his financial situation isn't what you'd expect. "People will think I have huge stockpiles of money," the "White Lotus" star told Vulture in an interview published on June 16. "But sadly, what I've done rather immaturely is expand my outgoings to match my incomings and pretty much spent everything I've earned over the years." The English actor has more than 168 credits on IMDB dating back to 1988, including iconic roles such as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter film adaptations and Col. William Tavington in the 2000 hit "The Patriot." But while Isaacs has long enjoyed a high-powered and lucrative career — Business Insider previously reported he, and every other top-billed actor on the show, earned $40,000 per episode of "White Lotus" — his admission is indicative of a common financial misstep that plagues high-earners: lifestyle creep. "It's really common to have lifestyle creep, and it's basically this phenomenon: When you earn more money, you spend more money," Robert Persichitte, a certified financial planner, told Business Insider. "People will see extra money in their bank account, and then they'll spend it, and then they get used to it, and it gets kind of locked into your lifestyle — and it becomes really, really difficult to get out of it." Representatives for Isaacs did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. 'Do you want to be rich, or do you want to be wealthy?' Lifestyle creep is most insidious when you begin spending your extra income on big-ticket items like expensive cars, fancy homes, or recurring subscription expenses like gym memberships, Persichitte said. That's not to say more modest luxuries like spa services or a trendy wardrobe can't add up, but he said those types of transactions are easier to stop splurging on if your financial situation changes. "It's a very common scenario: You get somebody who has their first high-paying job, and they get excited, they go out and spend it, and then about six months later, they realize they hate that high-paying job," Persichitte said. "If you bought a new car or bought a new house, that is a very, very difficult decision to walk back." Isaacs is far from the only celebrity to experience a problem with lifestyle creep. Al Pacino, in his 2024 autobiography, said he went from a $50 million fortune to "broke" because he didn't control his spending. Other stars — from Michael Jackson to Mike Tyson — have also racked up tremendous amounts of debt despite having multimillion-dollar incomes. While it may be tempting to adopt a more lavish lifestyle or emulate your favorite celebrity's spending habits if you receive a promotion or financial windfall, Persichitte cautions against it. Persichitte recalled a 2008 Time interview with Flo Rida, in which the rapper said mogul Rick Ross advised that, in order to make more money, Flo Rida should spend "with the confidence of someone who knows he's going to make a lot more." "I wouldn't recommend that," Persichitte said. "And the logic to me is: Do you want to be rich, or do you want to be wealthy?" The difference is that a rich person's financial situation hinges on their next paycheck, which means a job loss or emergency or an impending prison sentence — which was likely in the future for Isaacs' character in "White Lotus" — could make it all crumble. In comparison, Persichitte said, a wealthy person has long-term stability because they've prioritized sound investments that allow them more control over their finances. The easiest way to avoid lifestyle creep is to have a plan for your money so it's not just sitting in your bank account, Persichitte said. Whether that be a 401(k) or locking some portion of your funds away in a CD account, nearly anything is better than having your liquid cash available in your checking account — but "the more invisible, the better," he added. "The further away you can keep that money from the checking account, the less likely you are going to have that lifestyle creep," Persichitte said. "If your net pay doesn't go up, you don't feel rich, and you don't feel the need to spend." Speaking to Vulture, Isaacs said that he has turned down multiple roles over the years that would have offered him a more substantial nest egg to lean back on. While he said he doesn't regret the moves "careerwise or artistically," he acknowledged it is a financial sore spot for him. "There's a number of things I could have done over the years that would've made me rich," Isaacs said. "And now that I'm toward the autumn of my career, I think maybe I'm an idiot and I should have done some of those things and just banked it, because other people do."

'Pretty Little Liars' cast and creator discuss the 'wildly inappropriate' age gap relationships in the series
It's been 15 years since Pretty Little Liars premiered on ABC Family and gave fans one of TV's most controversial couples: Aria Montgomery and Ezra Fitz. The couple, played by Lucy Hale and Ian Harding, was one of the show's most talked about couples for its depiction of a teacher-student relationship with a noticeable age-gap, but it was far from the only problematic coupling. Looking back on PLL's iconic seven-season run with the Hollywood Reporter, the stars and creator Marlene King admit that the couple is one they "probably" wouldn't include if they remade the show today. "What we know now about grooming, that was not something we talked about 15 years ago," King told the outlet. "I've always thought that if we revisit the world, we would have to deal with that. That would be a storyline we'd have to pay attention to and give focus to. But I think they can have their happily ever after because they were everybody's favorite couple." Aria and Ezra - couple name: Ezria - met at a bar right before Aria began her junior year of high school and became the show's longest-running couple despite the fact that it was fairly controversial to have a college graduate/high school English teacher kiss his 16-year-old student. King noted, "We were definitely probably crossing a line I wouldn't cross now, but I don't want to take away from what they had, either. It was very satisfying for a lot of fans." Harding has been known to give his character a hard time, once jokingly referring to Ezra as "America's most beloved pedophile" in his memoir Odd Birds, published in 2017. While he acknowledges that it isn't a pairing that would easily be digested in this decade, he hopes that the couple's "meaningful connection" is "enough to justify the deeply problematic relationship that was certainly not great at the time." "As society has progressed, we realized how wildly inappropriate it was," Harding added. "But at the same time, just because you depict something on TV doesn't mean you condone the behavior," he pointed out. "It is a story meant for entertainment, and the show was a thriller. Now that I look back on it, I see that it was just like the show, with the twists and turns, and it had some horror elements and then it also had this romance component. So I don't deeply regret it, because it's fiction. But I also realize that it did bring up a lot of harder discussions about what is actually considered abuse and what is considered love." Harding reasoned that, despite their trials and tribulations, Aria and Ezra "found happiness, and there was little collateral damage or pain inflicted by the relationship. There was plenty of pain and horror everywhere on the show, but oddly enough, their relationship seemed to be a safe haven in the storm." "There's no part of me that is feeling such great shame for having played this part. I don't have any apologies for playing this character," Harding emphasized. "I do think he was definitely icky in some knowledge, but on the whole, he's fictional." On the other hand, Hale has always been a strong proponent for the couple, even if she can acknowledge how it's a relic of "a different time." "At the time I was cast as Aria, I was 19 years old and I wasn't really thinking about the bigger themes of it all," the actress told THR. "I was just stoked to be cast in a TV show. Of course, it hits differently at my age now and I think about the bigger message in anything I play."But despite the ire it may cause with some viewers over a decade later, Hale said she doesn't have regrets about bringing them onscreen. "I stand behind their love story forever. That forbidden love story drew a lot of people in." Of course, Ezria was far from the only couple in Pretty Little Liars that had a troubling age Bellisario's Spencer Hastings got caught up with two older men during her time on the show, and star Sasha Pieterse was only 12 years old when they shot the pilot and in her early teens while shooting opposite actors considerably older than her. In Pieterse's experience, working on PLL with the awkward age gaps was something that "never felt weird in the moment." As a mother herself now, the actress said she's "very aware" of the dynamics in a different way. "When I go back [and watch] I think, 'How did I feel filming that?' I always felt protected," she recalled. "But it's a weird thing that we do because even though everybody else was over 18, those storylines are still depicting minors. I feel comfortable with it, but it's an odd thing to wrap your head around." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

‘Dead Outlaw' Musical to Close After Disappointing Run on Broadway
'Dead Outlaw,' a hard-driving musical about a bandit whose mummified body became a curiosity, announced Friday evening that it would close June 29 after a disappointingly brief run on Broadway. The show announced the closing just 12 days after the Tony Awards. It was nominated for seven prizes, including best musical, but won none. It is the third new musical to post a closing notice since the awards ceremony, following 'Smash' and 'Real Women Have Curves.' The show began previews April 12 and opened April 27 at the Longacre Theater in Manhattan. The show's running costs are modest, but so are its box office revenues; it grossed $449,666 during the week that ended June 15. At the time of its closing, it will have played 14 preview and 73 regular performances. The musical is based on the true story of Elmer McCurdy, a turn-of-the-century figure who robbed trains and banks — often ineptly — and died in a shootout with law enforcement. His unclaimed body was preserved and then exhibited for years before being stashed in a California amusement park, where it was rediscovered in the 1970s. The show was first staged Off Broadway at the Minetta Lane Theater, which is operated by Audible; it is the first Audible show to transfer to Broadway. The reviews were quite strong, both downtown and uptown; in The New York Times, the critic Jesse Green called it 'the feel-good musical of the season, if death and deadpan feel good to you.' The musical was capitalized for up to $10 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That money — the amount it cost to finance the show's development — has not been recouped. 'Dead Outlaw' features a score by David Yazbek and Erik Della Penna and a book by Itamar Moses; it is directed by David Cromer. The lead producers are Lia Vollack and Sonia Friedman. In a statement they said, 'Despite glowing reviews and a loyal following, the commercial momentum just wasn't fast enough in a crowded season. As the show reminds us, sometimes the most incredible lives are cut short.'
