Lukas Gage Explains What It Was Like Getting Rimmed on Set for ‘The White Lotus’ - Yahoo Lifestyle

In an interview with The AV Club, actor Lukas Gage, who plays Dillon, responded to the impact his butt has had on social media, and spoke about the origins of the scene and what it was like filming it with his co-star Murray Bartlett.

He went on to explain that in the first draft of the scene, Dillon and Armond were caught having full penetrative sex, but that he and Bartlett thought they could find a more creative way to expose their characters' tryst, and so they pitched the ass eating element.

The scene was filmed with an intimacy coordinator on set, and Gage had nothing but positive things to say about the experience and Bartlett as a scene partner, calling him "one of the most talented, sweetest, kindest humans and actors in the world."
