The White Lotus’ Alexandra Daddario Responds to Criticism
The White Lotus has been a hit drama since its premiere in 2021, with its third season airing on HBO and Max in the US and on Sky and NOW in the UK. But what happens behind the scenes of this critically acclaimed show? Alexandra Daddario, who played the role of Rachel, has been at the center of the criticism. In an interview with Elle, Daddario was asked to name the “most outrageous rumour” that she had heard about herself, and she quickly replied: “That I’m a bad actress.”
Daddario has been in the industry for over two decades, with her first role in the soap opera All My Children in the early 2000s. She has since appeared in various projects, including Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Baywatch, Texas Chainsaw, True Detective, and San Andreas. But Daddario has faced criticism for her work, particularly for her role as Rachel in The White Lotus.
In the interview with Elle, Daddario was asked about an “acting gig you regret doing,” but diplomatically decided not to name the project. “I have a lot of acting gigs I regret doing. This is a hard one, but I’ll be vague,” she said. “With all due respect to everyone who worked hard and who I worked with, there was an independent film that I shot that was a disaster. A lot of infighting, producers walking off set, just chaos. I don’t want to say the name though, because you can’t, but I hated working on that. The movie doesn’t have to be good, but you know, fighting is not something that I’m into.”
Producer and Director
The White Lotus has been praised for its talented cast, including Daddario, who plays the role of Rachel. Producer J. Smith-Cameron, however, has faced criticism for her role in the show. In an interview with Variety, Cameron stated that she was “very selective” with her casting choices and that she was “not a fan” of the show’s tone.
Cameron has been in the industry for over 30 years and has worked on numerous projects, including the TV series The West Wing and the film Se7en. But despite her extensive experience, Cameron has faced criticism for her role in The White Lotus. Some have accused her of being “difficult” to work with and of “pushing the crew around.”
Director Peter Berg has also faced criticism for his role in the show. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Berg stated that he was “not a big fan” of the show’s tone and that he was “always looking for ways to make it more interesting.” But Berg has also praised Daddario’s performance, stating that she was “an absolute pleasure to work with.”
Starring in Mayfair Witches
The White Lotus star Alexandra Daddario has been working on various projects in recent years. One of her latest roles is the lead in the supernatural thriller Mayfair Witches. But despite her success, Daddario has faced criticism for her role in the show.
Some have accused Daddario of being “uncomfortable” on set and of “not being able to relax.” However, Daddario has denied these claims, stating that she “loves” working on Mayfair Witches and that she is “thrilled” to be a part of the project.
