The most salacious guest to check into season two of The White Lotus might be a giant prosthetic penis.
In the first episode of the season, Theo James , who plays arrogant and brash financier Cameron, strips down in the bathroom in front of his friend Ethan's (Will Sharpe) wife Harper ( Aubrey Plaza ) while changing into a swimsuit—all in full view of Harper.
And, well, nothing was left to the imagination—including the sheer size of Theo.
As it turns out, he had a little bit of help.
"You go into these things and you have a conversation with the director and the producers and they go, ‘OK, for this, we're going to use a prosthetic. We're going to use something,'" the actor said on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon Dec. 2. "And you say, 'OK, that sounds good.'"
Theo called it a "pee-pee prosthetic," which we do believe is a scientific term.
The Divergent alum explained that putting together the scene—and the prosthetic—was a collaborative process.
"I said, ‘Honestly, I just don't want it to be distracting,'" Theo explained. "He needs to be a regular Joe, because the scene's not about the pee-pee. It's about power play and sex."
As viewers know now, there was nothing regular about Theo's extremity.
"We get to set and [the make-up designer] has got like a hammer or something," Theo joked. "I mean, it's bigger than that. It's like she stole it off a donkey in the field. I mean, the thing is ginormous."
The White Lotus airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO and is available to stream on HBO Max.
