Patrick Schwarzenegger Teases ‘White Lotus’ Season 3 and Wedding Planning Progress
The White Lotus resort rented rooms to a couple of famous faces.
The season three premiere of the HBO Max show included brief cameos from Natalie Cole and Carl Boudreaux, who both competed against Mike White—the creator of the anthology series—on season 37 of Survivor in 2018.
During a dinner scene of White Lotus‘ opening episode, Belinda (played by Natasha Rothwell) sat alone at a table watching other guests walk into the hotel restaurant for their meals. Her mood notably improved when she spotted a woman (Natalie), wearing a pink and black flowy dress, and her partner (Cole)—rocking white pants and dark button-up shirt—being seated by the hostess.
And the couple’s appearance gets mentioned again. In another scene towards the end, Belinda told her son over the phone that the pair were part of the reason she was enjoying the Thailand resort, noting that she “saw two Black people and they weren’t staff.”
Following the premiere, some eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out the unexpected crossover.
As one user wrote on X Feb. 17, “NATALIE COLE on white lotus season 3 lmao I’m gagged beyond belief.”
Another added, “Natalie cole now a survivor and white lotus icon.”
