'Survivor: David vs. Goliath' alum Natalie Cole reveals that her cameo on 'The White Lotus' season 3 happened after creator Mike White 'did not like' her in Fiji: 'Initially, he thought he was never going to speak to me again.'
Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.The White Lotus"The fact that he could look beyond the way he felt about me in Fiji and ask me to come do a part speaks volumes about him as a person," Cole tells EW. "Initially, he thought he was never going to speak to me again.
After their season ended, Cole says that White thought she was mad at him for years. "I ran into him at Natalia 's wedding and he did everything but look at me," she reveals. "When we finally caught each other's eyes, I waved at him, and oh my god, he ran across the room and threw himself into a hug with me and said, 'I thought you were mad at me!' And I said, 'No, when I first came off I was, but it's a game, and I recognize that, and I'm cool.
But after White explained that each season explored a different theme and confirmed that he wanted her to come to Thailand, she finally agreed to film a cameo."And then he looped] in and told me Carl was going to play my husband," Cole says."I said, 'Okay, so there's going to be some humor to this.'"He lasted longer than Cole in the game, getting voted out on day 30 and becoming the fifth jury member.
