In the latest buzz surrounding HBO's hit series *The White Lotus*, viewers can't stop talking about the jaw-dropping kiss shared between Patrick Schwarzenegger's character Saxon and Sam Nivola's character Lochlan. This much-anticipated moment, which took place in the latest episode aired on March 16, had been hinted at since the beginning of Season 3.

As social media erupted with reactions to the controversial scene, it became clear that filming it was anything but easy for the cast. In an exclusive interview, Charlotte Le Bon, who plays Chloe, shed light on what it was like to shoot this awkward scene.

“Fortunately, they aren’t brothers by blood, so that made it a tad easier,” Le Bon shared with Vulture. “For Patrick, it was a bit of a struggle, but Sam was pretty chill about it, saying, ‘Let’s do it right once, because repeating will just drag it out!’”

Le Bon also revealed that Patrick’s reaction during the kiss was genuinely authentic. “We were all convinced he might actually throw up! Meanwhile, Sam was like, ‘C’mon, it’s just a kiss, don’t stress!’” This candid moment showcased not just their acting skills but also the palpable tension and awkwardness that often accompanies filming intense scenes.

Chloe, Le Bon's character, plays a pivotal role in instigating the kiss between the two brothers. “She’s incredibly bored,” Le Bon explained. “There’s this emptiness in her life, and she fills it with partying, chaos, and even a bit of manipulation. That kiss between Saxon and Lochlan? To her, it’s just a source of entertainment—immoral entertainment, for sure!”

In response to the controversy, *The White Lotus* executive producer, David Bernad, reassured fans that the incestuous storyline wasn't merely a shocking plot twist. “That’s all Mike White’s genius at work,” he told the New York Post. “He crafts these significant narrative turns not just for shock value; there’s a meaningful reason behind it that ties into the broader themes of the show.”

As viewers eagerly await to see where this season will lead, one thing is certain: *The White Lotus* continues to captivate and astonish audiences with its bold storytelling and complex character dynamics. Buckle up—this season promises even more surprising twists ahead!
