For our March 2024 issue, Leo Woodall tells costar Tom Hollander about checking out of 'The White Lotus' and into his first leading role.
Leo Woodall made a splash as the strapping and slightly suspicious Jack on the second season of HBO’s. His raffish charm and boyish good looks masked darker motives, culminating in a bombshell scene with costar Tom Hollander that earned instant entry into the Shocking Twist Hall of Fame. Now, Leo is about to take on his first leading role in the latest adaptation of the David Nicholls bestseller
WOODALL: It could be that we had a very show-stealing scene, and so they thought, “Well, they’ve got enough attention.”The White LotusWOODALL: Well, to answer it genuinely, I think being in Lotus gave me an interesting, sexy edge going into those offices in central London, especially with my neck tattoo.WOODALL: It said “cowabunga,” and I walked in and there was Nige and Molly Manners and Rachel Sheridan, and they were gobsmacked that they hadn’t noticed it in my first self-tape.
HOLLANDER: Yeah, it’s a marathon, playing a big lead in a multi-episodic thing that goes on for months and months. That’s real stamina. Obviously, anytime you say something like that as an actor, I immediately think stamina, like, “You’re fighting the Russians in Ukraine” sort of stamina, not the stamina of being an actor who gets picked up and driven, people play with his hair, and then he gets asked to say lines that other people have written.
HOLLANDER: Yes. They’re all there to support you. Then you become a family, don’t you? You’re a family going on this odyssey together and they are there to give you everything you could possibly need. And sometimes you have to go, “No, I need a bit of space for a second to concentrate.” I noticed when I was producing, what a difference it made to the whole crew when the actors were happy to be there. The crew, if you think about it, spend all day looking at the lead actor in particular.
WOODALL: I was extremely nervous before I’d seen episode one, because I didn’t know how I was going to feel about my performance, about the way I looked and all the stuff that is tedious to think about. Once I realized that the show had been made very well, I was pleased. I was able to trust that it was going to work, but I still had my sick bucket by my side just in case.
