The Commitment to Character
- Monaghan adopted a consistent self-tanning routine once a week.
- She spent hours applying self-tanner each Sunday, foregoing social activities with castmates.
- This process not only enhanced her appearance but also helped her embody the character more authentically.
Quotes from the Set
Reflecting on her commitment, Monaghan told PEOPLE, “I committed to it every Sunday. So everybody’s like, ‘We’re going to go down to the beach for a swim.’ And I was like, ‘I can’t do it.’ Instead, I was putting on the self-tanner and waiting for it to dry for six or seven hours because it was so humid.” She went on to explain how this dedication became a light-hearted joke among the cast.
Blonde Ambition
- Monaghan underwent a hair transformation that required significant upkeep.
- Celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham made multiple trips to Thailand to maintain Monaghan’s blonde locks during shooting.
- Alongside her hair color, Monaghan also emphasized the importance of her character’s vibrant nail polish during filming.
Sharing her thoughts on the transformation, she said, “I loved being blonde so much and I was nervous because I am a brunette… But I was worried because I knew that I was going to have to go back to being brunette for a film afterwards.” Her commitment to the role extended beyond aesthetics, reflecting Monaghan’s deep connection to her character.
Star-Studded Cast
Season 3 of The White Lotus also features an impressive lineup, including Aimee Lou Wood, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Jason Isaacs, Leslie Bibb, and Walton Goggins, along with Natasha Rothwell reprising her role as Belinda Lindsey from season 1.
Michelle Monaghan’s dedicated approach to portraying Jaclyn continues to resonate with fans, showing just how much effort is put into creating a believable narrative in television. As she wraps up filming, audiences are eagerly anticipating the release of The White Lotus season 3.
