How Julia Louis-Dreyfus reacted to son Charlie…
Charlie Hall is prepared to examine into “The White Lotus” Season 4.
The 29-year-old actor, who is at the moment starring on Apple TV’s “Maximum Pleasure highly likely,” solely told The Post his first telephone call after studying he’d landed the hit HBO collection was to his mother, Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
“I told her I got it. She was with my dad [former “SNL” solid member Brad Hall], and I heard her put the telephone down and discuss to my dad, like, ‘Charlie bought it! He bought it! He bought it!”

Hall said he thinks the “Veep” star was “trying to keep calm, because I was pretty calm.”
“I was trying not to freak out,” he added. “Especially because you never want to celebrate too much before you’ve done the work.”
Hall’s comic dad and mom had been both “insanely stoked” he’ll be in “The White Lotus” Season 4, which is set in France, because the Mike White collection is “one of their favorite shows.”
“They are excited for me to be on a show like that,” he admitted.

In Season 3 of “The White Lotus,” Patrick Schwarzenegger’s character had to kiss his onscreen brother.
When requested if he was apprehensive about doubtlessly doing comparable materials, Hall said, “I was definitely thinking ‘Oh, I wonder what I’m going to do.’ Or if there’s anything that’s a little raunchy.”
However, he famous it’s such a “wonderful show” and White is such “an amazing writer,” that, as he put it, “I was kind of like, ‘Whatever happens, happens.’”
While Season 4 doesn’t have an announced premiere date yet, Hall is building hype.
“I know I’m biased, but I think it could be really the best one yet. It’s very classic ‘The White Lotus,’” he teased. “Everything feels funny, while still feeling really real. It’s kind of more of the same, in the best way possible, with some twists and turns along the way.”

In the meantime, Hall’s current show is also full of twists.
“Maximum Pleasure highly likely” is a darkish comedy following Paula (Tatiana Maslany), a single mother who will get ensnared in a homicide plot involving a webcam boy.
Hall performs Rudy, Paula’s co-worker, who will get pulled into her schemes and is along for the experience.
“The intimacy Lives of College Girls” actor said he preferred “how oscillating in tone” the show — which has garnered reward from horror icon Stephen King — is.

“It could be legitimately scary, or legitimately thrilling or really funny,” Hall said.
Rudy is “the kind of guy that is always looking to joke around, and that’s definitely something that I’m always doing as well,” he shared. “I was like, ‘Oh, OK, great.’ He’s looking to find the joke, and I’ve been doing that since I was like five years old, so that’s perfect.”
Despite growing up in a showbiz household, Hall didn’t immediately know he wished to act.
“My family is super funny. We’re always doing bits. But it never really struck me that that was something that I would want to do professionally,” he said. “I was obsessed with basketball growing up. So, for the longest time I was like, ‘It’s the NBA or bust!’”
He quipped that he finally realized “making the NBA is quite difficult” and then “tried out the acting thing, and just fell in love with it.”

“Maximum Pleasure” and “The White Lotus” are on his plate now, but Hall was also in Ryan Murphy’s “Monster” collection on Netflix — he was in Season 2 (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”) and Season 3 (“Monster: The Ed Gein Story”).
When requested if he might return to future seasons, Hall said, “I would love to.”
Murphy and author Ian Brennan “took a chance on me in a lot of ways, because ‘Monster’ is a lot more serious than the stuff I had done prior to that,” he said.
“I was stepping out of my comfort zone for that,” Hall continued. “I feel like I have a debt of gratitude to Ryan and the whole camp over there. So, anything they want me to do, I’m 100% there.”
New episodes of “Maximum Pleasure highly likely” are out Wednesdays on Apple TV.
