Why Leslie Bibb Thought 'We're All Getting Diarrhea' After Filming ‘White Lotus' Water Gun Scene
The water gun scene in The White Lotus season three was just as chaotic to film as it looked in the show, according to Leslie Bibb. During a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the actress, who played Kate in the Mike White-created series, explained why she thought 'we're all getting diarrhea' after filming the sequence with her costars Carrie Coon (Laurie) and Michelle Monaghan (Jaclyn).

While it started off fun, things quickly get intense and they're seen running to find somewhere to hide. 'When we were there, [the festival] actually happened in real time and everyone's like, 'Let's go!'' Bibb recalled of shooting the scene. 'And I was like, 'No, I want to experience' — I was Daniel Day Lewis–ing it — I was like, 'I'm gonna experience it for real between action and cut.'' However, it quickly went south. 'We got there and it was like 300 extras, all with water guns, and it was a nightmare,' she told host Seth Meyers. 'I looked over and our crew members had [water guns], and they were just shooting at us, and I was like, 'This is a nightmare.'' Bibb continued, 'Then suddenly I feel like I became like my character. I was like, 'Where is this water coming [from]?' Because it's not the cleanest water in Thailand.' Since it's typically advised to avoid consuming tap water when visiting Thailand, Bibb said she grew worried and started asking several questions while filming. 'I'd be like, 'Is that bottled?' They're like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,'' she recounted. 'And I was like, 'Oh, we're all getting diarrhea. We're all getting diarrhea. This is all going nowhere.'' While Bibb was notably stressed that day, she noted that it was still a celebratory moment, as it was towards the end of filming for season three. 'I think it was Carrie's last day and so it felt very celebratory and everyone was so mischievous. And then we finished all the beach stuff, and we went back to Bangkok, and then Sammy showed up in Bangkok,' Bibb said, referring to her husband, Sam Rockwell, who also had quite the memorable cameo in the latest season.
