Carrie Coon Reveals Her Husband Tracy Letts' Unique Vice: 'He Doesn't Do Drugs or Buy Cars'
During a June 16 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Carrie Coon revealed that her husband Tracy Letts is a fervent collector of DVDs The White Lotus star said that he owns "over 10,000," adding that more "arrive every day" The couple and their two children watch the movies together and post reviews on LetterboxdCarrie Coon is supportive of her husband Tracy Letts' unexpected vice. During a Monday, June 16 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, theThe White Lotus actress, 44, spoke with host Jimmy Fallon about Letts' shockingly large collection of DVDs. According to her, he owns "over 10,000" of them and more "arrive every day." "He doesn't do drugs or buy cars. It's fine," Coon jokingly rationalized to Fallon. She also shared how Letts' collection has become something of a family affair. Coon explained that she and Letts, who she marred in 2013, have a shared Letterboxd account where they share reviews of the movies that they're watching. Their two children — son Haskell, 7, and a 3-year-old daughter whose name has not been made public — even join in on the fun. "We used to post them on X, but now it's a hellscape," Coon said about the reviews. "And so now we decided we had to go to Letterboxd because we wanted to continue the tradition because people like the movie-watching lists." "And it turns out a lot of film students don't know things," she added. "Like, they've seen a meme from Deliverance, but they've never seen Deliverance. Or they've never seen An Unmarried Woman. Anyways, tons of films." Speaking about Haskell, the actress said, "We've been posting reviews from my son also because he's the only 7-year-old I know who you put a movie on, and he goes, 'Yes! It's in black and white!' " While their daughter is "a little bit more traditional," Coon added that Haskell is "a total cinephile." Their kids have weighed in on surprising movies. Earlier in 2025, they watched a silent version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. "The kids were surprisingly into this. The boy gives it a thousand stars," she said, noting Haskell's high praise. "The girl gives it 12 stars (because 12 is her favorite number)." In a review of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde the family wrote, "The boy gives it 100 stars, 'maybe more.' The girl made it nearly to the end and then called it quits." Coon confirmed that her kids did more than sit through the movie. She said her son "reads the titles out loud and kind of acts them out and then gets really excited. And my daughter sat through the whole thing. She's 3. I think she's just trying to impress her brother. She also likes Frozen, but, you know. One more obvious film that the family reviewed was 2024's The Wild Robot — "The boy gives it so many stars that he doesn't know how many stars he can give it." Another thing that Coon watched with Letts was the third season of HBO's The White Lotus, which she starred in. She told Fallon that the couple tuned in every week to watch the new episodes, adding that she forgot what had happened after filming. For a show that is notoriously shrouded in secrecy, Fallon wanted to know if Coon had a hard time keeping the plot a secret. "They collected our scripts in Thailand. We weren't allowed to have them out. But no, it was not hard because I don't see anyone or do anything or have any friends," she teased, adding, " And I think my parents watched the show, but they haven't mentioned it yet so I don't know for sure. So no, it was easy for me." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

‘White Lotus' star talks Trump-voting character on the show, criticizes her own Trump-supporting family
"The White Lotus" star Carrie Coon admitted to "The View" on Friday that she does have friends and family who support President Donald Trump just like one of the characters on the popular HBO show. During Friday's episode of the ABC talk show, the actress discussed her "White Lotus" co-star Leslie Bibb playing a Trump voter and noted that she also has Trump-supporting family members in real life. Coon went on to say they're now impossible to talk politics with because they follow an authoritarian. "I had family members who voted for Trump. We're from Ohio. We had to have those conversations," she said when asked by co-host Ana Navarro if it's "actually possible to have friends who don't share your same beliefs." Arnold Schwarzenegger's Son Patrick Admits He's Afraid To Watch Nude 'White Lotus' Scene With Famous Family A scene from the show went viral in March when Kate, played by Bibb, appears to reveal to her horrified best friends Laurie and Jaclyn, played by Coon and Michelle Monaghan, that she voted for Trump. During the scene, Kate's friends – who assumed she was a Democrat – slowly get it out of her during dinner that she voted for Trump. After Kate admits her husband is a Republican, Laurie asks her outright if she supported him. She responds with a curt smile and a long pause before saying, "Are we really going to talk about Trump tonight?'' and quickly changing the subject. Read On The Fox News App Later that night, Kate sees her friends laughing and mocking her decision to vote for Trump. Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture After admitting that she has Trump-supporting friends, Coon suggested to "The View" co-hosts that those voters are brainwashed. "I think there was a time when it was possible to have conversations about it," she said. "But when you're in an authoritarian slide it becomes a closed system. The leader is the source of information. That is not penetrable, so when you're inside of that circular information system, then it's very hard." Several of the co-hosts nodded in agreement. Coon continued, saying Trump voters don't have much "basis in fact" any longer. 'White Lotus' Star Patrick Schwarzenegger Wished He 'Didn't Have My Last Name' While Auditioning "It's very hard to talk about anything because there's no basis in fact. And now we're seeing the defunding of the NIH [National Institute of Health] and NSF [National Science Foundation]," she said, adding, "So, like, science which – I believe in science, and I don't think, there's not like a — there's no middle ground there." Co-host Joy Behar followed up by asking if Americans will be shocked into seeing Trump's dark side because of the cuts he's made to government programs. Coon indicated she wasn't so sure. "I think narrative is very powerful and it's very easy to teach them that they should blame immigrants or trans people while billionaires are picking their pockets," she article source: 'White Lotus' star talks Trump-voting character on the show, criticizes her own Trump-supporting family

Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan on ‘The White Lotus' Cut Scenes: ‘There Are Things You Won't See That Are a Part of Our History'
There's nothing quite like working on 'The White Lotus,' where cast members live on the same hotel set where they're filming for as long as six months. And for Season 3 stars Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan — who played three lifelong friends on a girls' trip to Thailand — it's something they're forever bonded by. 'We'd spent half a year together making this thing far from our homes and our families and our routines,' Coon tells Variety's Awards Circuit Podcast. 'And it's so fraught when we watch it in a way that it will never be for anybody else. We'll never be able to explain it. There's no way to express the fulsomeness of that experience. I've said, It's like being an astronaut. The only person who knows what it's like is another astronaut.' More from Variety 'There Is No Feud': Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood Tell All on Their 'White Lotus' Connection, a Cut Love Scene and Yes, Why He Unfollowed Her on Instagram Bridget Everett on How 'Somebody Somewhere' Was the Best Experience of Her Life: 'It's Like, Now What Am I Gonna Do?' How 'The Studio,' 'Yellowjackets,' 'Monsters' and 'White Lotus' Make Bad Behavior Appealing That's true of 'White Lotus' cast from other seasons too. 'We're in this very specific club, this amazing experience that is so singular that Mike [White creates], and you get to say his words and live your life in this alternate reality,' Bibb says. 'It's so immersive, and it makes, I think it makes the work better in a strange way. You're so far from anything that is your reality or your touchstones, which can be so hard.' On this edition of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, we talk to Coon, Bibb and Monaghan about what it was like to be immersed for so long in 'The White Lotus' universe, and how it bonded them much like their characters. They talk about the scene they're bummed ended up being cut, as well as whether they like to do more episodes, and where they think 'The White Lotus' might go next. Also on this episode, the Roundtable discusses the death of 'King of the Hill' voice actor Jonathan Joss, just days after he crashed an ATX TV Festival panel hosted by Mike. And we look at the nomination possibilities for the massive 'White Lotus' cast. Listen below! When it comes to iconic 'The White Lotus' moments, Carrie Coon's speech to her character's friends in the Season 3 finale ranks up at the top. 'I mean, that's a classic Mike White moment, right?' she tells the podcast. For much of Season 3, things are becoming more passive aggressive between longtime pals Kate (Bibb), Jaclyn (Monaghan) and Laurie (Coon) as their girls trip exposes some tension in the group. But in the finale, over dinner, Laurie gets honest about how really the trip had just exposed she much she had struggled with the mistakes she made in her own life. In the emotional speech, Laurie realizes that despite her regrets, both time and this friendship, has still made her life meaningful. 'What was lovely about the language of that speech is that it was in in many ways, speaking into the experience we had,' Coon says of their shared journey moving to Thailand and shooting 'The White Lotus' over the course of six months. 'We got to have that experience together near the end of shooting, and so I think we were all processing the ending of this thing while that was unfolding at the table.' Bibb says in shooting that scene, she remembers how the three of them 'felt very dialed in, all day, like I couldn't stop crying every time [Coon] said it. I kept improvising these 'I love yous,' and then Michelle would say 'I love you,' and I think Mike was getting annoyed! But it was so genuine, and I'm so glad they kept it in there… these three people are seen by each other.' Adds Monaghan: 'We all knew what the dialog was, but it was the way in which Carrie performed it. It really spoke to our hearts at that point, personally and professionally. It was a really special ending for us.' As for moments that didn't make the final cut, Coon describes the puppet show that wound up not on the show. 'It was really sweet,' she said. 'So there are things you won't see that are a part of our history.' The different 'White Lotus' groupings were mostly siloed from each other, but Monaghan singles out Patrick Schwarzenegger for being 'a fantastic gentleman and not this douche you see. And I lived with Parker [Posey], and I didn't even know Parker was utilizing a Southern accent!' Would they do 'The White Lotus' again? Bibb was bowled over by the fact that she was able to work so closely to two more actresses her age — 'I never get to work with these two! Mike really knows how to write great women, and we're so lucky to have that.' Where might 'White Lotus' end up next? Bibb agrees that White will never pick any place that's cold. 'I sent him a picture of this location I was in, it was at the Shining hotel up in Oregon, and the snow was up past the window,' she says. 'He was like, 'I'm fearful. I don't trust where you are right now. I hate the cold..' They'll never do a cold one. No way.'

'The White Lotus' Cast Just Checked Back Into Resort-Chic Style
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Who else is experiencing some major The White Lotus withdrawal? Believe it or not, it's been two months since Season 3's shocking finale aired on HBO Max, complete with malicious murders and sleek resort style alike. Over the last few weeks, our Sunday evenings have been noticeably quieter—it's the post-Lotus rut. But on June 2, some fan-favorite patrons of The White Lotus returned to the Instagram timeline with resort-chic style in tow. Yesterday, TV's biggest stars convened at Cipriani Wall Street for the 10th annual Gotham Television Awards. Before shows like The Pitt and Mattlock were honored with trophies, the VIP guests walked the red carpet in designer attire. The highlight of the evening was indisputably the cast reunions, especially when The White Lotus stars met up inside. One of the first on-screen frenemies to arrive was Carrie Coon, a.k.a. Laurie. In lieu of vibrant vacation-wear, Coon channeled her character's sleek, New York aesthetic in a white high-neck gown. Her strappy sandals, however, felt Thailand-ready. After Coon's step-and-repeat, fans spotted another member of the Thailand trio on the red carpet. Leslie Bibb made the grandest of entrances in a teal knee-length dress from Stella McCartney Spring 2025. Decorated with delicate ruching and striking shoulder pads, the midi would've fit right in with Kate's vacation rotation. The summer color combination continued onto her crimson red pumps, which debuted on the same runway. To no surprise, her "cunty little bob" appeared just as blunt as it was on-screen. But wait—the reunions didn't end there. Later at the Gotham Awards, Parker Posey received the Legend Tribute from her co-stars, Bibb and her husband (and fellow TWL alum), Sam Rockwell. To accept her accolade, Posey embraced her character's penchant for flowy 'fits in Valentino Pre-Fall 2025. Designed by creative director Alessandro Michele, the floor-length gown featured a plunging neckline, long billowy sleeves, and a ruffled hem. She accessorized with complementary lace gloves, also from the Italian brand. Her brocade purse, another Valentino piece, leaned retro. Posey's round, rose-colored glasses seemed to pay homage to a pair she wore as Victoria Ratliff on The White Lotus. Season 3 of The White Lotus will likely dominate the award season circuit in the coming months. With more likely reunions on the horizon, here's hoping Michelle Moynahan, who plays Jaclyn Lemon, will join Coon, Bibb, and Posey at the next soirée.
