Nearly two years after Season 2 of Max’s “The White Lotus” was released, Aubrey Plaza has admitted she still hasn’t watched her performance in it.
In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, Plaza, 40, explained she hasn’t seen any episodes from its sophomore season yet because there’s just one thing hanging her up.
“To be honest, I had trouble opening my HBO Max account when I was trying to watch it originally,” Plaza said. “I couldn’t figure out the password, and I usually just give up when I can’t figure out the passwords. I just can’t handle things like that.”
She then noted she’s asked for a DVD of the series, “but they don’t send DVD sets anymore.”
In the Emmy-winning series, the comedian plays a high-strung lawyer named Harper who goes on a vacation to Sicily with her naive businessman husband, Ethan (Will Sharpe), his college roommate Cameron (Theo James) and Cameron’s wife, Daphne (Meghann Fahy). Plaza earned a supporting actress Emmy nomination for her role.
This isn’t the first time Plaza has shared her gripes with streaming services. The “Life After Beth” star told Vanity Fair last year that she gave up on watching “Top Chef” for the same reason.
“I was trying to watch ‘Top Chef’ Season 20. Couldn’t figure out how to fucking get Hulu + Live. I give up! I can’t. I just can’t,” she told Vanity Fair in an article published May 2023.
But Plaza has a foolproof solution for her password woes.
“So what I like to do is go on iTunes and buy movies that are old,” she added. “Or I’ll go on iTunes and just, like, buy the whole ‘Sopranos’ series, and then my husband will be like, ‘You literally can watch that for free on HBO Max.’”
