Sam Nivola's Mom Reacts To His Controversial Kiss Scene In White Lotus Season 3: ‘It's So Crazy'
Sam's mother, Emily Mortimer, talked about his controversial kiss scene with a criminal businessman's girlfriend and his on-screen elder brother, Saxon. HBO's The White Lotus season 3 ended earlier this month, giving viewers yet another emotional rollercoaster instalment. The recent season not only received rave reviews for its heartbreaking final episode but also for some shocking moments. One of them is the episode where the show explores the theme of incest between the brothers of the Ratliff family. Weeks after the show's conclusion, actor Sam Nivola's mother, actress Emily Mortimer, reacted to her son's role in The White Lotus season 3. She revealed her honest and slightly amused reaction to his controversial kiss scene. FYI, the 21-year-old actor played Lochlan, the youngest member of the wealthy yet troubled Ratliff family, dealing with addiction and financial ruin. The scene in question is the drug-fuelled intimate scene in Thailand between Sam's character, a criminal businessman's girlfriend and his on-screen elder brother Saxon, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger. Speaking to The Times, Emily, who is married to actor Alessandro Nivola, admitted that watching the show was 'a bit bizarre." She said, 'It's so crazy, all of it. It wasn't particularly crazier than having my boy go off to Thailand for so long. Of course, it was a bit bizarre, but being married to an actor, we've all had to watch each other do strange things." She continued, 'And I had been warned — although Sam said that the worst bit was the first ten minutes, but they kept flashing back. So I'd relaxed, and then it wasn't true at all." Seems like Sam's career in acting is taking off, as before starring in The White Lotus, the 21-year-old also was seen on Netflix's whodunnit murder mystery The Perfect Couple, sharing the screen space with none other than Nicole Kidman, and he was also seen in an adaptation of Don DeLillo's White Noise. In the same conversation, when The Newsroom actress was asked how her son was handling his growing fame, Emily explained, 'He just sort of owns it, which isn't thanks to either of us. I'm biased because I'm his mum, but he doesn't need any guidance." Speaking of The White Lotus season 3, this time, the show took the viewers to picturesque Thailand. The HBO series, which premiered in February, featured an ensemble cast of Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Sam Nivola, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Sam Rockwell, Scott Glenn, and Natasha Rothwell, among others. The show is available on JioHotstar for Indian viewers. First Published:

Emily Mortimer Addresses Replacing Sally Hawkins For Paddington In Peru, And What She Didn't Expect About Joining The Family
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The third Paddington movie is here and, while a lot of the old band is back together, you may notice that Sally Hawkins' Mary Brown has been recast with Emily Mortimer this time around. According to reports, Hawkins couldn't join the threequel because she has been managing the autoimmune disease lupus. That medical condition makes it difficult for one to travel abroad. With that, Mortimer had to follow up great performances from Hawkins and, when she spoke to CinemaBlend, about joining the franchise's family, she shared the sweet and unexpected joys of being a Brown. As disclosed in my Paddington In Peru review, the sequel is sure to be one of the warm and fuzziest 2025 movie releases of the year… and it's only February. Here's what Emily Mortimer told us about replacing Sally Hawkins as the Brown matriarch, when we sat down with her and Hugh Bonneville: I was welcomed with just such a sort of sweetness and warmth by everybody behind the camera and all the actors starting with Hugh [Bonneville], who always just sort of made me feel very welcome and like I wasn't an imposter, in the form of his new wife. So, that was really lovely and I guess I had hoped it would feel that way, because the films just sort of emanate that feeling of sort of inclusivity and tolerance and sweetness. Emily Mortimer was worried she'd be the 'imposter' on the set of Paddington In Peru after Hawkins originated the role in 2014's Paddington and its 2017 sequel. However, she actually felt welcomed with open arms, with co-star and on-screen husband Hugh Bonneville leading the charge on that front. Mortimer wasn't the only new member of the team either. For the first time in the Paddington franchise, director Dougal Wilson was at the helm (instead of Paul King) and both Puss In Boots alums Antonio Banderas and Olivia Colman joined the cast as well. As Mortimer continued, discussing the one element she wasn't expecting amid production: But, I think the thing that really surprised me when I was there – I mean I've done many, many films over the course of now, a kind of depressingly long career. And, the attention to detail, the specificity, the sense of responsibility towards this character that imbues every corner of the set and everybody, every member of the crew. You just feel this common sense of responsibility to the character and to the franchise that is really palpable. And I felt that that was something I was not expecting and was really beautiful to see. While it's never exactly great to see an actor be replaced by another, especially when we're talking about Sally Hawkins, Emily Mortimer fit right into the cast and brought her own wit and charm to Mary Brown. I can't help but feel like the producers put a lot of time and care into finding someone who could fill Hawkins' shoes. More on Paddington in Peru Paddington In Peru Trailer Sends The Adorable Bear On A New Adventure, And I'm Ready To Follow Him Anywhere The new movie sees the eponymous bear and the Browns go to South America to visit the bear's Aunt Lucy. But, of course, the visit doesn't go quite as planned, given that the family ends up in the middle of a fantastic treasure hunt. Emily Mortimer couldn't have joined the franchise during a more exciting installment. I can understand the nerves that would come with taking the baton, so to speak, for such a significant role. Thankfully, she said yes to adventuring to entering the fold for a Paddington sequel critics have already been charmed by. Mortimer more than honors Sally Hawkins' work while also putting her own stamp on the role of Mary Brown. Paddington In Peru is now playing in theaters just in time for President's Day weekend.

‘Paddington in Peru': The beloved bear brings marmalade and mishaps back to his homeland
From left: Samuel Joslin, Madeleine Harris, Paddington, Emily Mortimer, Hugh Bonneville, and Julie Walters in "Paddington in Peru." Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. So, when I heard about 'Paddington in Peru,' I was a little worried. Hawkins, the gentle human heart of the prior two installments, wasn't reprising her role as the family matriarch, Mary Brown. She's replaced by Emily Mortimer, who's fine opposite the returning Hugh Bonneville as patriarch Henry Brown. But I missed the twinkle in Hawkins's eye. And King, who helmed the prior two installments, exited the franchise to bring his world-building magic to Timothée Chalamet's better-than-expected 2023 film, 'Wonka.' Though director Dougal Wilson keeps the proceedings lively and colorful, King's deft touch is missed here as well. Don't get me wrong; any film that makes references to 'The Sound of Music' and 'The African Queen' deserves an A for effort. But this film felt less like a Paddington movie and more like an adventure for the globetrotting Belgian comic character TinTin. The screenplay by Mark Burton, Jon Foster, and James Lamont focuses more on the quest than it does on the family dynamic that anchored the first two films. Advertisement Despite my quibbles, I can't deny that 'Paddington in Peru' still has enough charm and humor to recommend it. Additionally, wrapped inside all the action sequences is a story about an immigrant finding an equal balance between his birth and adopted homelands. Making it all work is the sweet, lovely voiceover work by Ben Whishaw, who brings Paddington to life in a way that warms the heart. Advertisement Paddington in "Paddington in Peru." Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. The film opens with Paddington's clumsy attempt to use a photo machine at Paddington Station. We discover that it's for his new British passport. Now a citizen, he can travel anywhere he wants (apparently, there's no Brexit in Paddington's universe). That newfound freedom comes at a most opportune time: The Browns receive a letter from Reverend Mother (Olivia Colman), the nun who runs the Home for Retired Bears in Peru. Paddington's beloved, 100-year-old Aunt Lucy (Imelda Staunton) resides there. 'Something's not right with Lucy,' the letter informs us. Apparently, she's been feeling down and disoriented. Perhaps she misses her nephew, Reverend Mother implies. The impromptu family trip to Peru is exactly what the risk-averse Henry needs to impress his new American boss, a woman so tapped into thrill-seeking that she has her coffee delivered through her high-rise office window by a parachuting intern. 'Something's not right with that Reverend Mother,' I wrote in my notebook. She is perky and smiles more than any nun I've ever met — cinematic or otherwise. And of course, someone hands her a guitar so she can perform a spectacular musical number featuring the film's title song. Colman not only nails the number, it's the highlight of the movie. (Wait until you see that aforementioned homage to 'The Sound of Music.') Olivia Colman in "Paddington in Peru." Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Mrs. Bird (Julie Walters), the feisty neighbor in this series, agrees with my suspicions about that sister. When Reverend Mother tells the Browns that Aunt Lucy has wandered off into the Amazon without her glasses, they embark on a search-and-rescue mission. Mrs. Bird stays behind to keep an eye on Reverend Mother. A strategically placed map leads Paddington to believe that Aunt Lucy is on her way to a place called Ruby Rock. So he hires a tour boat run by Henry Cabot (Antonio Banderas) and Cabot's daughter Gina (Carla Tous) to take the Browns up the Amazon River. They seem rational, but something is amiss. Advertisement Imagine if Humphrey Bogart's Mr. Allnut from 'The African Queen' got crossed with his Fred C. Dobbs character from 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,' and you have an idea of Cabot's character. He's looking for gold, specifically the lost city of El Dorado. And he's haunted by ghosts (also played by Banderas) of the family members who failed at this mythical quest. Paddington's map may hold the key to finding El Dorado. Antonio Banderas in "Paddington in Peru." Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. All the treasure stuff feels tacked on, and it reduces the Browns to supporting characters in their own story. Colman and Banderas have a great time hamming it up, and their fun is quite infectious. Walters is also at her spiky best. They help make this a worthwhile afternoon at the cinema. And just like Reverend Mother's song, 'Paddington in Peru' ends on a high note. Whatever you do, do not leave before the mid-credits sequence. No, it's not that music video of Paddington singing 'Lady Marmalade' that the bad boy in me wants so badly. However, it's something that will put an even bigger smile on the faces of my fellow 'Paddington 2″ stans. ★★★ PADDINGTON IN PERU Directed by Dougal Wilson. Written by Mark Burton, Jon Foster, James Lamont. Starring Ben Whishaw, Olivia Colman, Antonio Banderas, Hugh Bonneville, Emily Mortimer, Imelda Staunton, Carla Tous. At AMC Boston Common, Alamo Drafthouse Seaport, AMC Causeway, suburbs. 106 min. PG (safe for kids; no gitchy-gitchy-ya-yas here) Advertisement Odie Henderson is the Boston Globe's film critic.
