Helena Bonham Carter and Mike White reportedly clashed over “creative differences” on the set of The White Lotus Season 4, leading to the BAFTA-winning actress’ exit from the production.
In a new report from Variety, White allegedly demanded a more “boisterous performance” from Carter, who was supposed to play a “washed-out star who is chasing a comeback” on the hit HBO anthology series. The disagreement resulted in Carter leaving the show just nine days after production began in France.
