Australian actor Murray Bartlett on THAT 'shocking' sex scene in comedy-drama White Lotus

Murray Bartlett has revealed that filming a rather racy gay sex scene for the comedy-drama White Lotus was really just a day at the office. 

The hit show features Murray’s character Armond and Lukas Gage’s character Dillon engaging in analingus, also known as rimming. 

And while the scene has been described by some as ‘shocking’, Australian actor Murray, 50, says he and Lukas, 26, were simply being ‘playful’ on set.

‘There wasn’t a lot of talk outside of the moment of what we were playing with. And I love that way of working, You’re just exploring,’ he tells Logo. 

‘So I didn’t have a lot of questions and I feel like he didn’t really need to explain a lot of stuff. We just played,’ he added. 

Speaking to Digital Spy recently, Murray added that he was glad to be part of depicting a sex act that was not often seen on TV screens.
