Leslie Bibb Thought She’d Get Diarrhea After Filming This White Lotus Scene

May 16, 2025

So, imagine you’re on set of The White Lotus in gorgeous Thailand, living your absolute best HBO-core fantasy. Then boom—your biggest fear isn’t flubbing a line or falling off a boat. Nope. It’s straight-up diarrhea from sketchy water gun water.

Actress Leslie Bibb—yes, that queen—recently confessed that while filming a wild water gun scene for The White Lotus, she had a full-on survival moment. “I became like my character,” she said. “I was like, ‘Where is this water coming [from]?’ And because it’s not the cleanest water in Thailand and you know can get… Don’t drink from water guns… I was like, ‘Oh, we’re all getting diarrhea!’”

Girl… 💀💀💀

It’s giving “I did not come here to get a parasite on premium cable,” and honestly, she’s braver than the troops. We love method acting, but no one needs method stomach cramps to commit to the role.

Also, let’s be real: the idea of splashing around in who-knows-what mystery water in a tropical climate?? That’s not White Lotus, that’s White Toilet-us. 😭

So next time you see that chaotic scene play out in paradise, just know the cast was out there risking their literal guts for our entertainment. And Leslie? We see you. We salute you. And no, we are never drinking from a water gun again.

Stay hydrated, but like… wisely. 💧🚫🦠
