HBO’s The White Lotus made news when Oscar nominee Helena Bonham Carter abruptly quit the hit show after just one week on the French Riviera set. Now, a new report is shedding light on the “creative differences” between the actress and show creator Mike White.
Variety reported on Tuesday that those differences involved White’s “demand for a boisterous performance” that Bonham Carter, 59, apparently didn’t want to deliver.
The actress, known for her outsized performances as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter film series, the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, Aunt Adelaide in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and many more, ultimately left the production after the ask, and was replaced by Laura Dern, 59.
