Jason Isaacs addressed the ongoing debate about his full-frontal scene in The White Lotus during an interview on CBS Mornings. When Gayle King brought up speculation on social media about whether he used a prosthetic, Isaacs refused to confirm or deny, instead calling out a double standard in discussions of nudity in film and television.

“A lot of people are debating it. It’s all over the internet,” Isaacs said. When King pointed out that he hadn’t answered the question, he explained his reasoning. “The best actress this year is Mikey Madison at the Oscars, and I don’t see anyone discussing her body, which is on television all the time,” he responded. “I think it’s interesting that there’s a double standard for men, but when women are naked—Margaret Qualley in The Substance, for example—no one would dream of talking to her about it.”
