The actress previously shared that she was hesitant to agree to the Emmy-nominated role, partly because she had gained weight during the COVID-19 pandemic. “[I was] locked up with this very nice girl that I knew in New Orleans,” the Legally Blonde star told People Sept. 1. “It was just very lonely times…and so she and I got obsessed with these vegan pizzas and we were eating a lot of them each day.”
Cooldige continued, “You can sort of numb out any worry you have in the world if you just eat another pizza.”
Despite her concerns about her weight, Coolidge agreed to join the cast and she has absolutely no regrets, as she had a lot of fun and made new friends. “I love the White Lotus group from the first season and they will be friends—hopefully they’ll be my friends for the rest of life,” she said, adding, “And White Lotus two has a very cool group too, and I witnessed some incredible acting performances.”
