'White Lotus' Star Has Candid Response to 'Very Low' Payday Reports
White Lotus star Jason Isaacs made it known how he really feels about being paid 'a very low price' for his starring role in the third season of HBO's juggernaut drama. Isaacs revealed during an interview with Vulture that, due to the show's equal pay initiative, he and the rest of his co-stars earned just $40,000 per episode. That means they made around $320,000 each for the season, but while that might sound like a hefty payday, Isaacs noted that's actually 'a very low price' for such a high-profile gig. 'I didn't know that was public knowledge. That's absolutely true,' Isaacs said when asked about the equal pay initiative. 'Generally, actors don't talk about pay in public because it's ridiculously disproportionate to what we do—putting on makeup and funny voices—and just upsets the public. But compared to what people normally get paid for big television shows, that's a very low price. But the fact is, we would have paid to be in it. We probably would have given a body part.'When asked if he felt it was unfair that he and veteran co-stars like Parker Posey and Walton Goggins were making the same amount as the show's newcomers, like Sarah Catherine Hook and Aimee Lou Wood, Isaacs made his position clear. 'Do I mind that I wasn't paid more than other people? I never work for money,' he said. 'I've done all right. People will think I have huge stockpiles of money, 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.' Season three of The White Lotus is available to stream on HBO Max.'White Lotus' Star Has Candid Response to 'Very Low' Payday Reports first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 17, 2025

Jason Isaacs Says ‘White Lotus' Equal Pay Earned Each Actor $40,000 an Episode: ‘Do I Mind That I Wasn't Paid More Than' Younger Co-Stars? ‘I Never Work for Money'
Jason Isaacs confirmed in a new interview with Vulture that every cast member on 'The White Lotus' Season 3 made $40,000 an episode, bringing their total pay for the series to around $320,000 each. Isaacs noted that sum is actually 'a very low price' for such a hugely successful television series. 'I didn't know that was public knowledge. That's absolutely true,' Isaacs said. 'Generally actors don't talk about pay in public because it's ridiculously disproportionate to what we do — putting on makeup and funny voices — and just upsets the public. But compared to what people normally get paid for big television shows, that's a very low price. But the fact is, we would have paid to be in it. We probably would have given a body part.' More from Variety Sam Rockwell on Choosing His 'White Lotus' Leopard Underwear and Why 'Sinners' Made Him Believe Hollywood Will Survive 'The White Lotus' Creator Mike White and Team Break Down the Finale's Deadly Piña Colada Scenes - and Why Season 3 Made Him Feel Like a 'Head Case' Jason Isaacs Champions Tom Felton Playing Draco Malfoy Again, Gives His Blessing to New Lucius Malfoy Actor Johnny Flynn: 'I Can't Wait to See What He Comes Up With' 'The White Lotus' cast being paid equally meant that acting veterans such as Isaacs and Parker Posey made the same as relative newcomers to the industry like Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola. Isaacs politely scoffed when asked if he thought that was fair or not. 'Do I mind that I wasn't paid more than other people? I never work for money,' Isaacs said. 'I've done all right. People will think I have huge stockpiles of money 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.' Isaacs also used 'The White Lotus' set to impart wisdom on his younger co-stars, mainly how they can't 'over-invest' in the final product because it's completely out of their control. That's for creator Mike White to worry about more than his actors. Isaacs learned that lesson the hard way after playing Captain Hook in 2003's notorious misfire 'Peter Pan.' 'It was a big expensive production with multiple studios. We filmed for 14 months. … The film tanked,' Isaacs said. 'I think it's a masterpiece, but people looked at the poster and went, 'Oh, fuck it. I've seen 'Hook' with Robin Williams, and I've seen the cartoon. Why do I need to see another one?' It was a catastrophe professionally for me, a huge fall from grace. I couldn't get a walk-on role. And I changed my agent and I almost changed my job, frankly, because I didn't think I'd work again. The lowest I've ever been was after 'Peter Pan.' I was really in despair but not as bad as I would have been had I believed any of the bullshit that had been whispered in my ear. I didn't over-invest in the results of it, which is something I tried to counsel the young actors on 'The White Lotus' not to do.' 'The White Lotus' Season 3 is streaming in its entirety on Max.

There's a 9,000+ waitlist but here's how you CAN pre-order Damson Madder's sell-out reversible gingham trench
Damson Madder is one of our favourite brands around – and we're not alone in our love for the independent British label. From their summer dresses to statement jeans, it seems like everything becomes a cult buy that's harder and harder to get your hands on. The Mercedes trench coat is no exception. When the outerwear first launched in December 2024 (let's be honest, here in the UK it's *always* trench coat weather, no matter the szn), it sold out ridiculously quickly and continued to do so with each restock. The coat has had 700 pre-orders and seen 9,735 people sign up for restock alerts in the past five months alone. Given trench coats are a huge spring 2025 jacket trend, its popularity is hardly surprising. But consider this confirmation that Damson's take on the trend is a must-have buy. And it's finally officially returning this Thursday, 22 May. So, if you missed out before, set your alarms! Having caught the attention of all our fave influencers plus The White Lotus' Sarah Catherine Hook, we're putting the appeal of the Mercedes coat down to its two-in-one design. Far from your average trench, the coat is reversible, meaning the ecru exterior can be turned inside out to reveal a red gingham pattern that could be a totally different jacket altogether. Talk about maximum style, minimum impact – the brand's slogan is more than appropriate in reference to this design. Pretty pleat detailing, removable and interchangeable neck tab and oversized bow positioned at the back of the outerwear complete the style features. But you don't have to wait until Thursday to guarantee yourself your own Mercedes trench coat. The style is available to pre-order *NOW*. Go, go, go!

White Lotus star Sarah Catherine Hook looks elegant in a black satin dress as she joins chic Margaret Qualley and Lupita Nyong'o at Chanel Cruise fashion show on Lake Como
The stars were out in force for the Chanel Cruise 2025 fashion show held at Villa D'Este on Lake Como, Italy, on Tuesday, White Lotus star Sarah Catherine Hook looked elegant in a black satin dress as she joined chic Margaret Qualley and Lupita Nyong'o for the event. The actress, 30, wowed in the sophisticated number from the luxury brand which featured pretty lace detailing and straps. She accessorised perfectly with a tiny quilted Chanel bag and silver earrings while sweeping her hair up in a sleek bun. Actress Margaret meanwhile, 30, meanwhile wore a leggy light grey tweed dress and classic black and white heels. She wore her brunette locks swept up and posed up a storm by the water after making her arrival. Actress Lupita, 42, looked incredible in a sheer ruffled skirt and boxy jacket with silver button detailing. She completed her look with dark shades and a silver Chanel pin in her hair. Elsewhere Keira Knightley looked effortlessly chic in a flowing white and black gown at the event. The American actress, 40, turned heads as she arrived at the luxury five-star venue for the annual show. Keira looked out of this world in the very elegant maxi dress, adorned with black bow motifs and a pearl belt. The beauty has been married to her husband James Righton since 2013, and they are parents to two children, Edie, nine and Delilah, five. Elsewhere at the catwalk, French model and music producer Caroline de Maigret, 50, showcased her age-defying looks in black tailored trousers and a cream blouse. Meanwhile, French-Romanian actress Anamaria Vartolomei, 26, couldn't contain her laughter as she shielded her face from the sun. Italian actress Gaia Girace, 21, looked chic in a black pleated leather skirt and miniature Chanel handbag. Actress Selene Caramazza put on a very leggy display and flashed her torso in a stylish black co-ord. Keira's Italian outing comes after she spoke about her mixed feelings surrounding her role in Pirates of the Caribbean films while promoting her Netflix series Black Doves. In an interview with The Times, the two-time Oscar nominee said the franchise 'was making and breaking' her at the same time. 'I was seen as s*** because of them,' she explained, 'and yet because they did so well, I was given the opportunity to do the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for.' Keira said they were 'the most successful films I'll ever be a part of, and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they're a very confused place in my head.' The 2003 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl helped launch Keira's career into the stratosphere, but it came with a cost. The action adventure starring Orlando Bloom, Jeffrey Rush and Johnny Depp made more than $654 million worldwide according to Box Office Mojo. The film received average reviews from critics, but audiences disagreed and showed their approval in box office ticket sales. Keira and Orlando starred in two more films in the franchise, 2006's Dead Man's Chest and 2007's At World's End. Both were panned by critics, but were big winners at the box office, with Dead Man's Chest earning more than $1 billion and At World's End coming in close with more than $961 million. The attention from the film resulted in a lot of attention on Keira appearance, including her thinness and she was accused in the media of having an eating disorder. She also revealed in 2018 she had been treated for post-traumatic stress. 'In that classic trauma way I don't remember it,' she told the outlet. Netflix has also announced it has renewed Black Doves for a second season after the first of the thriller series became a hit with fans - and royalty. It was an instant hit, flying to the top of the charts as viewers dubbed it a ' Christmas series' and it even made it to Kensington Palace. Whilst handing out Christmas presents to children and families at a party for 1st Battalion Mercian Regiment in Wiltshire, Prince William revealed he and Princess Catherine have been sitting down to watch Black Doves. The American actress led the stars arriving at the luxury five-star Villa D'Este for the annual show
