Appears on Friday “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon”, the actor, who went viral for a steamy scene in the second season premiere of the comedy-drama series, revealed that the fake “pee-pee” he used for the NSFW scene on the show was “gigantic”.
The much talked about nude scene features James, who plays businessman Cameron Babcock, stripping completely to a bathing suit as Harper (Aubrey Plaza) looks on in the bathroom.
“The truth is that you go into these scenes, you have a conversation with the director and the producers and they say, ‘Okay, for this, we’re going to wear a prosthetic,'” said the 37-year-old actor. old memories of the popular scene. “And you go, ‘Okay, that sounds good.'”
However, despite giving makeup head Rebecca Hickey input on wanting to rock a more modest fake penis, things didn’t go as planned.
“I said, ‘Honestly, I just want it not to be distracting,’” he told host Jimmy Fallon.

“It has to be ‘Regular Joe.’ Because the scene, you know, is not about the pee; it’s about power games and sex. It’s about whether he did it on purpose or it was an accident and what that means. She says, ‘I got you. Yes, I have you. Regular Joe,’” James continued.
To James’ surprise, “Regular Joe” was not what he received.
According to the British actor, when he arrived on the set, Hickey approached him with a fake penis so outrageously large it looked like it had “a hammer.”
“I mean, it’s bigger than that. It’s as if he stole it from a donkey in the field. The thing is huge. And me and the director, Mike White, are sitting there thinking, ‘That’s…average, right?’” he joked.
James later joked that both he and White immediately ran to call their “respective partners” to apologize profusely, such as “I’m so sorry.”
“It was nine inches flat and about four inches wide. We said, ‘What the hell is that?’” she added, laughing.
speaking to entertainment tonight In October, James shared that it “felt natural” to go naked on camera for the scene in the Emmy-winning primetime series.
He jokingly added, “It’s in my contract that I’m not allowed to do anything without being completely naked.”
Just a month later, James told the outlet. that the audience didn’t get a chance to see the opening scene they planned because it was “too much”, so they “toned it down” [down].”
“The original spin off of this, it’s kind of full frontal, if you know what I mean. We shot that and it felt too, too aggressive,” he told Entertainment Weekly in November. “What we get to is a bit more opaque, and that’s exactly what Mike does so well. You’re never 100 percent sure of the characters’ intentions.”
“The White Lotus” airs new episodes on HBO and HBO Max at 9 p.m. on Sunday nights.
