White Lotus star Parker Posey reveals she and her cast mates were ‘always going into hospital’ while filming in Thailand as she shares shocking BTS secrets from the HBO series

White Lotus star Parker Posey has revealed she and her cast mates were ‘always going into hospital’ while filming the smash hit show’s third season in Thailand.

The actress, 56, who plays wealthy matriarch Victoria Ratliff, said diarrhoea was rife on the exotic set forcing the stars to leave their swanky £15K-a-night Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui accommodation to seek treatment . 

Nevertheless Parker gushed over Thailand’s hospitals, where there was no wait to see a doctor and patients could also get botox, saying everyone returned to set ‘like they’d had the time of their lives’.

Recalling her own brush with illness she told The Times: ‘There was a piece of fish that left me and Sam Nivola, who plays my youngest son, on a few weeks of plain rice and pasta with the D-word and constipation alternating’. 

‘[People] were always going to the hospital and coming back like they’d had the time of their lives. Thai hospitals were so nice, you could do everything there … you could get Botox and medicine easily, and waiting in line wasn’t a thing’. 

Parker also said how she discovered the importance of self-care and indulged in the country’s practices while filming for months at end in Thailand.

‘I wasn’t good at all that until now, but now I had all these massages, I got on board with all the supplements I needed, I did sound baths, reiki, Pilates. It felt needed. And the Thai culture is just so wise, it makes you feel, oh, I was so stupid taking this stuff personally. 

It comes after  Walton Goggins has defended age-gap relationships after starring as Aimee Lou Wood’s older love interest on the show.

The American actor, 53, took on the role of shady Rick Hatchett in the hit drama as he arrives in Thailand with his much-younger girlfriend Chelsea, played by Aimee, 30. 

Rick is an illusive American while Chelsea is a chatty Mancunian and their unlikely relationship got fans talking, with many praising the actors’ exceptional chemistry.

And they didn’t shy away from showing all aspects of the romantic relationship, even stripping off for an intimate sex scene in the second episode.

In light of their much-talked-about on-screen relationship, Walton has now given his own thoughts on age-gap romances in the real world.

Walton – who has been married to writer Nadia Conners, 53, since 2005 – said the ‘trope’ is so commonplace he doesn’t think it needs to be discussed anymore.

He said he ‘doesn’t care’ about age-gaps or any other factors in relationships, insisting he just likes to see people in love and happy.

She said: ‘There was a piece of fish that left me and Sam Nivola (L) who plays my youngest son, on a few weeks of plain rice and pasta with the D-word and constipation alternating’.

Parker also said how she discovered the importance of self-care and indulged in the country’s practices while filming for months at end in Thailand

‘Well, I mean, it’s been going on for so long, hasn’t it… an older man and a younger woman, my God, how trite is that?’ he told The Telegraph.

‘It’s a trope at this point, so to really discuss it is just a waste of time. Why would you care if two people find peace and a modicum of joy out of another human being? What does it matter to you? 

‘I don’t care, I like to see people happy together.’

Amy recently spoke about how she and Walton worked with an intimacy coordinator for their steamy sex scene, which they felt was important to show on-screen.

She told Elle: ‘We were like, ”This is what we think should happen. This is why we think it’s important.” Because we don’t see a lot of tenderness from Rick to Chelsea the rest of the time.

‘So we have to make sure that when they’re physical and intimate in that way, that you see the love.

‘We don’t want it to be like a f***ing gratuitous [sex scene]. We wanted it to be very tender.’

Walton is not the only actor who has spoken about age-gap relationships after being in one on screen, with Leo Woodall giving his thoughts earlier this month.

Walton said the age-gap ‘trope’ is so commonplace he doesn’t think it needs to be discussed anymore and insisted he ‘doesn’t care’ so long as people are happy in their relationships 

Leo took on the role of Renee Zellweger’s character Bridget’s much-younger love interest, Roxster, in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.

Leo insisted he isn’t fazed by the ‘toyboy’ phrase, saying romances between younger men and older women aren’t ‘that unusual’ in an interview with The Telegraph.

He said people just ‘aren’t used’ to seeing a younger man/older woman dynamic on-screen, whereas the older man/younger woman romance has been shown ‘countless times’.

In real life, Leo, 28, is in a relationship with his White Lotus co-star Meghann Fahy, 34, who is six years his senior.
