As it turns out, we don’t knowJason Isaacsas well as we thought.
Days after Isaacs’White Lotuscharacterflashed his family in a now-viral full-frontal momentduring the March 9 episode, his costars dished on what it was like to film the scene.
“It was a prosthetic,” Hook, 29, added, before noting, “It was really funny. He was very excited to do it. I think he took pride in the prosthetic. He gave that guy a nice shot.”
“He’s like, ‘It’s my fake d— scene today!’” Nivola recalled.

In a March 9 interview withDecider, Isaacs addressed how creatorMike Whitecame up with the “great moment,” although he admitted that nudity is “not something I’m keen on doing in my social life or in my professional life.”
“I don’t remember filming those scenes — I think it’s digital. I wasn’t there that day,” he joked.
The actor is right — White does not shy away from nudity when it comes toThe White Lotus.In fact, the season kicked off with a glimpse atPatrick Schwarzenegger’s nether regions in episode 1.
At the Feb. 10 premiere,PEOPLE asked his mom,Maria Shriver, how she reacted to the explicit scene. She said she simply turned a blind eye.
“Mykidswere like, ‘Did you see that?’ And I was like, ‘No. What?’ " she told PEOPLE exclusively, indicating that she was only focused on her son’s face and never looked any lower.
“So that shows you — a mother’s eyes are always on the kids' eyes,” she quipped.

His father,Arnold Schwarzenegger, had aslightly different response.
“What a show! I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say - the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” the former California governorcaptioned an Instagram postof him and Patrick.
The Ratliff family has captured the attention of viewers since the season premiere last month as Isaacs’ Timothy Ratliff attempts to hide the news that his multimillion-dollar business dealings might land him in jail when they return from their Thai vacation.
