Jason Isaacs appeared on CBS Mornings on Friday, where he addressed the buzzy interest in his full-frontal ɴuᴅᴇ scene in the latest White Lotus episode.
The 61-year-old entertainer has been asked about the genitalia-flashing moment in several interviews since the show aired on Sunday.
Viewers have been curious to know whether a prosthetic was used for the instant when his robe falls open, flashing his on-screen family.
Isaacs — who dished on giving Naomi Campbell a pep talk — evaded the question throughout his press day, which also included a stop at Good Day New York.
‘A lot of people are debating it. It’s all over the internet. And it’s interesting because the best actress this year is Mikey Madison at the Oscars. And I don’t see anybody discussing her vulva, which was on television all the time [in Anora],’ he posited while skirting the inquiry.
He elaborated, ‘I think it’s interesting that there’s a double standard for men. But when women are naked, Margaret Qualley as well, in The Substance, nobody would dream of talking to her about her genitalia or her nipples or any of those things. So, its odd that there’s a double standard.’

He acknowledged he was dodging the question, reiterating it was ‘because I don’t think that people really want to know how the sausage is made.
‘Genuinely, I think it would be odd when there are characters — and some of the women are naked in here — it’d be odd if you were sitting here. And you would never dream of discussing their genitalia, not for a second.’

Despite co-host Gayle King pushing back and repeating twice that ‘I kind of do [want to know how the ‘sausage is made’],’ Jason refused to divulge details.
On Good Day New York, he was forced to confront the viral television moment again, this time with journalist Rosanna Scotto.
Early in the segment she cheekily stated, ‘I’m not gonna go there. I’m not gonna mention that you had a bathrobe on…’
Isaacs interjected, ‘Let me ask you this: If you had a woman on here, would you be very keen on talking about her downstairs? Would you ever talk to an actress about it? I don’t think you would. I think it’s a terrible double standard.’
The conversation shifted as Rosanna pivoted to praising the Harry Potter star on his acting chops.

While Isaacs has refused to entertain questions about his ɴuᴅᴇ moment, his onscreen children — Sam Nivola and Sarah Catherine Hook — said he used a prosthetic.
Sarah revealed to TV Insider: ‘It was really funny. He was very excited to do it. I think he took pride in the prosthetic.’
Sam added, ‘He’s like, ‘It’s my fake d**k scene today!”
Speaking about the scene, Jason joked about having more ɴuᴅᴇ acting performances.
‘Yeah, it is now in my contract for every show I do, so we’ll see,’ he teased. ‘It’ll get easier, hopefully.’
