Mike White, the writer, director and producer of The White Lotus, talked about #LISA, her casting and willingness to work with her again in the future. "I know this sounds crazy, but I did not know who Lisa was. [...] I did not know Blackpink. [...] But then she came in and auditioned and she was just so lovely and she couldn't have been a better actress. [...] She brought a lot of attention for the show and she's been an incredible ambassador for the show. [...] She was just a great person to work with and I would work with her again. I think she's gonna have a huge acting career beyond, you know, obviously all the other things she's doing. [...] and also somebody who's got massive fame already, it’s not something that I usually do because it feels a little like stunt casting. [...] I try to be meticulous about making sure we're casting the right person for the part but her audition was the best." #TheWhiteLotus LLOUD #LISAxTheWhiteLotus
