In a recent candid interview with Vulture, Jason Isaacs has reignited his claims about a notorious bully from his past, describing the unnamed colleague as the "worst bully ever" and a "global icon." This revelation comes as the White Lotus star opens up about his experiences on set and his surprisingly low paycheck.

Throughout his career, Isaacs has kept mum on specifics but made it clear that this prominent actor's behavior was exceptionally difficult to endure. He recalled, "They did worse than just push me out of a shot. It was unbelievable—just a different performance off-camera than on. I’d never seen anything like it before." His past reverence for this individual was intense, admitting he once would have "licked the ground that this person walked on."

In his reflections, Isaacs noted that he fantasizes about the day he might dare to reveal the truth publicly, jokingly linking it to winning the lottery. "But honestly, there’s no value in exposing the truth about those I’ve worked with; acting thrives on secrets," he remarked.

On a more personal note, Isaacs also addressed his salary for White Lotus, confirming that every actor in the cast is making approximately $40,000 per episode. "I didn't realize that was public knowledge, but it is incredibly accurate," he stated. He candidly acknowledged the disparity between actors' earnings and the public's perception of their wealth, adding, "Compared to typical salaries in big TV productions, it's quite low. But honestly, we would have paid to be in this show. We’d probably give a body part!"

Despite his successful career, Isaacs revealed some financial struggles, admitting he has spent most of his earnings. "People think I have a fortune, but I’ve lived beyond my means, matching my outgoings to my incomings," he confessed.

As Isaacs navigates the complexities of fame, paychecks, and on-set conflicts, fans eagerly await any more truths he might reveal in the future.
