White Lotus fans celebrate after show's brief full-frontal nude scene
Fans of The White Lotus have been left stunned after being treated to another full-frontal nudity scene in the black comedy show's latest season.
The new season of the dark comedy is set in another luxury hotel - this time in Thailand - but after four episodes the show has already screened two male nude scenes.
In the first episode, Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays the eldest son of a wealthy family surprised even his brother-in-law, Chris Pratt, after appearing fully nude.

Now Schwarzenegger's father in the show, Jason Isaacs, has also had a full-frontal scene leaving viewers speechless.
In the previous episode, Isaacs's character, Timothy Ratliff, agreed that he and his family should forego their phones for the remainder of their stay at the hotel as a way to avoid the constant calls he's receiving.
Ratliff is facing a financial scandal and a criminal investigation and is dealing with the stress by taking his wife's (Parker Posey) anti-anxiety medication.
In the new episode, a relaxed Ratliff accidentally exposes himself to the rest of his family after his bathroom robe comes loose, shocking everyone else in the room.
After the scene aired for the first time on Sunday, viewers at home couldn't hide their disbelief at what they had just seen.
'I did NOT have Jason Isaacs full-frontal on my White Lotus S3 bingo card lmaooo,' wrote one person.
Using a Harry Potter reference (Isaacs played Lucius Malfoy in the film franchise), one viewer joked: 'Well, I didn't expect White Lotus to show Lucius Malfoy's wand tonight, but here we are.'
Another quipped: 'Well, I didn't expect White Lotus to show Lucius Malfoy's wand tonight, but here we are'.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Isaacs joked that full frontal scenes are now in his 'contract for every show I do'.
'It'll get easier, hopefully,' he added.
Elsewhere, Isaacs opened up about the 'insane' response he got from the police when he reported that he was the victim of an ongoing stalking ordeal.
Speaking in a new interview, Isaacs revealed that he 'went mad' during that period because the police assumed his stalker – a young woman – must have been romantically involved with him, even though he had never met her.
'I was terrified my house would be burned down or I'd be stabbed. And because it was a young woman the police didn't take it seriously for a long time.' he told the i. 'She might read this, which is disturbing.'
He said the police had several 'insane' responses, such as changing his name and occupation.
'A different officer advised to 'just knock her out'. 'They were next to useless, the police,' he said. 'They kept insisting I must have had an affair with her. And I'd never met her.'

Harry Potter fans spot major casting problem – but there's a simple answer
Keen-eyed muggles have spotted a problem with the cast of the upcoming Harry Potter TV show, but is there really an issue? Over the last few weeks, HBO has been slowly announcing who will be playing who in the small-screen adaptation of the Boy Who Lived's adventures. So far, we've learned that some of the biggest names in Hollywood are set to appear – including John Lithgow, Paapa Essiedu, Janet McTeer, and Nick Frost – while newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout will be playing Harry, Hermione, and Ron, respectively. On June 9, another owl (okay, it was a press release) arrived announcing several new actors who'll be joining the show. Katherine Parkinson will be taking on the role of Molly Weasley, Johnny Flynn will be donning Lucius Malfoy's blonde wig, while Lox Pratt will play his son Draco. Of all those announced, though, it was Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby – who are playing Harry's aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley – who caught fans' attention. A number of people online thought that the pair were too young to play the Harry's last living relatives. @RageCrusader asked on X, 'Aren't they a bit young for the roles?', @turquoisepogos concurred posting, ' Why so young choice?' @relientkenny meanwhile wrote, 'This is insane. They're both only in their 30s' and @DavidJosephLaw2 added, 'I'm assuming they'll have makeup on cos they look too young'. It was @RickPayne88, however, who was perhaps the most dramatic about the latest casting news, posting: 'Whoever is the casting director needs to be fired wtf are these casts'. This sentiment wasn't exclusive to X either. On Reddit, UltraYZU admitted 'They seem much younger and quite more attractive than I imagined when reading.' In fact, a number of people seemed confused as to why producers had cast such young actors as the Dursleys. Here's the thing, though: Bel and Daniel are exactly the right ages to play Petunia and Vernon. You see, while the movies portrayed the Dursleys as a middle-aged couple, they're a lot younger in the books. How do we know that? Well, you don't need to be as good as a goblin at arithmetic to work that out, but let me spell (pun unintended) it out for you. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video While Petunia's age in the books is never stated, we know that she's close in age to her sister Lily, who was just 21 when Voldemort murdered her. That would mean that when the story began, ten years after the Potter's murder, Petunia could only have been in her early thirties at most. Bel, at 33 years old, is the perfect age to play Harry's aunt. Similarly, we're never explicitly told how old Vernon is in the books, fans estimate he's only a few years older than his wife, with most estimating he's about 37 in The Philosopher's Stone. At 42 years old, Daniel is actually older than Vernon was when we met him in the first book. More Trending Of course, it's easy to understand why some fans are confused about the Dursley's ages. In the Harry Potter movies, the decision was made to age up the adult cast. This was done primarily because the 55-year-old Alan Rickman had been cast as Snape, who's supposed to be in his thirties, and therefore, the actors playing his classmates had to be a similar age to keep things looking consistent.
