Leo Woodall has been a mesmerizing actor as fans have loved his portrayal of Jack in the second season of The White Lotus. The actor first gained popularity when he was showcased in the second season of the show in 2022. While the actor immediately became an eye candy to the female viewers of the show, Woodall’s character was much more than that. In the show, we saw his character, Jack, living with his uncle, Quentin, a wealthy gay British expat portrayed by Tom Hollander.
The characters from The White Lotus are extremely intriguing, but there’s one scene that stays in the memories of the viewers, and it is none other than the gay s*x scene between Jack and his uncle, Quentin. Recently, Leo Woodall was present on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he shared that he was kept in the dark about the scene.

One of the most talked about scenes in the 2nd Season of The White Lotus was the gay intimate scene in the show. The scene was extremely rare, but logically, it seemed to be fresher, majorly because the show compels its viewers to the gay characters, who are fully aware of their sexuality rather than mere hetero-foils.
Recently, Leo Woodall was present on Jimmy Kimmy Live, and the host asked him if he knew previously about the scene when he auditioned for the role of Jack. Kimmel joked if he knew “he’d be sodomizing an older man. FYI, wanna make sure you are cool with that beforehand.” The One Day actor answered, that he was kept in the dark until they shot the scene, and it was a major shock when he learned about his scene with Tom Hollander, who portrayed the role of Quentin, who was also his uncle in the show.
“No, they didn’t tell me that. No, it was quite a surprise.”
The answer led Jimmy Kimmel and the audience to laugh hysterically as Woodall’s expression made his answer all the more hilarious. Moreover, he added he never expected that his first “big jobs to be what did you say? Sodomizing an older man.” Nevertheless, the show got involved in controversy after the sudden sacking of Miloš Biković.
