It certainly was around that one. It felt like an incredibly ‘wow’ moment.”
As far as shooting the scene, Woodall said it was a closed set, and they worked with an “incredible” intimacy coordinator, Miriam Lucia. The pair seem to be getting on swimmingly - until Tanya accidentally walks in on Jack and Quentin having sex, and her suspicions about what's *actually* happen all begin to fall into place.
Speaking about the moment, Leo told Variety at the time, "When I found out about the [sex] scene, I was speechless for a while.
The scene in question saw Jennifer Coolidge’s iconic character Tanya McQuoid walk in on Quentin (Tom Hollander) being rear-ended by Jack.
According to The Telegraph, Woodall still finds the scene “brilliant” and “hilarious”, adding: “I knew that it was a shocking moment, but I trusted [creator] Mike [White]’s vision, I knew that it would work.

Viewers were just as surprised as the character with many immediately flocking to social media to share their shocked reactions, and musing about what this could mean for the plot going forward.
One fan stated: ''So he's f**king on his uncle?
*Mild spoilers* In case you need a reminder, The White Lotus season 2 was set in Sicily, and followed a number of different storylines unfolding at a gorgeous hotel. But with the latest second-season episode, Mike White’s HBO series may have topped that (pun intended). We just wanted to do it right.”
Hollander added that the actors were “sprayed down with some stuff to make us look like we were sweating” — “oily stuff,” Woodall interjected.
“There is fantasy, and you’re going through your head going, ‘I hope I look good.’ But when they say action, in a way that goes, and you actually just find yourself thinking, ‘I want this to be a true representation of an intimate moment between two people.’ You just want to do it right,” Hollander said.
When asked whether they’ve warned friends or family about what’s to come, Woodall said he told his dad not to let his 6-year-old brother watch the episode, but other than that he hasn’t “told a single soul about it, because I want to see their faces — or at least get their reactions without any prompt.”
As far as nerves leading up to Sunday night, Hollander said, “I suppose I’m excited.
We just wanted to do it right."

“It was a shocking moment”: Leo Woodall reflects on gay sex scene in The White Lotus
Leo Woodall has reflected on his breakout performance as Jack in The White Lotus, as well as his character’s “shocking” uncle-f**k.
In an interview with The Telegraph, the British actor discussed all his recent projects, from his acclaimed (and soul-destroying) Netflix series One Day to his Apple TV thriller Prime Target, and the fourth Bridget Jones, titled Mad About the Boy.
Woodall was also questioned about his role in The White Lotus, particularly the scene in which he “bared far more than his pumped-up pecs” (we couldn’t have written it better ourselves).
I’m such a huge fan of Tom’s, and when I heard that he was going to be playing my uncle, I thought, ‘That is unreal.’ And then when I found out that I was going to shag him as well — that was kind of surreal."
The set was closed for the scene, and Leo says an "incredible" intimacy coordinator was on hand to help everything go smoothly.
And on the set, the production was very tender around those moments. The source is indicated at the beginning and at the end of the announcement. You know, ‘Is this the right angle?
I guess I’m old school. He couldn’t “forgot his wallet” ‘cause he doesn’t have money, his arsenal is just his d**k in this whole plot.'

Speaking about the surprising scene to E! News, Hollander explained: 'Tanya witnessing it, it's delicious and it makes you realize that [creator Mike White] really has got a plan and the writer really is going somewhere.

SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers up to Episode 5 of “The White Lotus,” airing Sundays on HBO and streaming on HBO Max.
Season 1 of “The White Lotus” left jaws wide open when, at the end of its fourth episode, Murray Bartlett’s Armond is caught face-deep in his employee Dillon’s (Lukas Gage) asscheeks.
One of which involved Quentin attempting to murder Tanya (played by Jennifer Coolidge) to steal her millions.

We're introduced to Quentin's nephew Jack, who begins a flirtationship with Tanya's assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) to distract her from what's going on.
Jack’s working Portia to keep her away so she won’t catch on to their scam.'
Another mused: 'Jack is not the nephew of Quentin but his lover and is tasked to keep Portia busy as part of their plan to kill Tanya. I’m such a huge fan of Tom’s, and when I heard that he was going to be playing my uncle, I thought, "That is unreal."
'And then when I found out that I was going to shag him as well — that was kind of surreal.
It just amuses me.”
White continued: “I just think transgressive sex is sexier. The most shocking revelation, however, comes when Tanya roams around Quentin’s palazzo late at night and walks in on Jack having sex with his, erm… uncle? The way they slightly shaded her at the Opera was a clue.'
'So…either that man is having sex with his nephew, or that’s not his nephew and this is all some elaborate ruse of some kind…,' another commented.
There’s this Gothic vibe of walking through a haunted hotel or haunted house and people are having sex behind closed doors.”
As far as whether Quentin and Jack are actually related, White teased, “Well, you’ll have to see.”
While Hollander told Variety that he knew about Quentin and Jack’s intimate moment upon embarking on the role, Woodall said he wasn’t even sent a script until a couple of weeks after he got the part.
“When I found out about the scene, I was speechless for a while,” Woodall said.
Speaking with Variety ahead of the Episode 5 premiere, White said the scene was an “echo” of Bartlett and Gage’s Season 1 moment.
