Aubrey Plaza still hasn't seen The White Lotus

Aubrey Plaza reveals a secret.

In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, The 40-year-old actress admitted that she had never watched an episode of The white lotus. Despite starring in the hit series, Plaza explained why she never got around to watching it.

“I will,” she said. “Honestly, I had trouble opening my HBO Max account when I originally wanted to watch it. I couldn't figure out the password, and usually when I can't figure out the passwords, I just give up. I just can't handle things like that.”

“I'd like a DVD, but they don't send DVD sets anymore,” she joked. “I ask them every time.”

The comedian played an uptight lawyer named Harper in season 2 of “The Last Man,” who was married to rich, naive businessman Ethan (Will Sharpe). The White Lotus. She is also known for her roles in Parks and Recreation, Dirty Grandpa and the upcoming film My old ass.

When asked which character she most identifies with, Plaza had an answer that may surprise some.

“Probably my White Lotus character,” she said. “I mean in many ways – not all ways. She was a lawyer like my mother, and there were some connections there.”

When asked how she approached her role in the award-winning Mike White drama, Plaza said that on the one hand she told herself it was about “survival” but on the other hand she ate every day as if she were on vacation in Italy.

“So much linguini and mussels,” she explained, then joked, “They actually required us to eat linguini and mussels twice a day. It was a kind of psychological conditioning.”

The White Lotus is returning for a third season with a new cast, this time set in Thailand. Although not much is known about it, Walton Goggins is taking on the lead role alongside several big stars, including Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Parker Posey, and season one favorite Natasha Rothwell.

In June, he told PEOPLE that the cast was already “so deep” into filming.

“I can't believe we're in the middle of this right now and all these relationships and all these friendships are being strengthened by all these experiences we're having,” he said.

Giving a preview of the new season, Goggins said the script “runs the gamut.”

“Microphone [White] himself has said what he said about season one and what that represents and what season two represents,” he shared. “Season 3, without putting words in his mouth, is going to represent something very, very, very specific and will, I think, resonate deeply with a very wide audience and certainly with fans of his work.”
