White Lotus star Jason Isaacs nine-word challenge that | UK News

Surely a bit wealthy for White Lotus star Jason Isaacs to be taking goal at those obsessing over reported feuds on the hit show? Photographed affectionately reunited with fellow solid member Walton Goggins, the British actor made headlines after mockingly declaring on Instagram: “Hey, all you genius online sleuths – see any beef?!”

But wasn’t it the exact same Mr Isaacs who triggered the furore in the first place?

Cue Captain Mainwaring retorts of “You stupid boy!”, after it emerged 10% of younger people ticked the identify of the Dad’s Army character when requested to establish who’d led the Normandy landings.
