Since her breakout position in Season 3 of HBO’s hit dramedy White Lotus, appearing provides had been pouring in for Charlotte Le Bon.
But for now, the Montreal local shouldn’t be .
“Making films is my main focus more than acting, to be honest,” Le Bon mentioned all over a sit-down interview in Toronto Thursday.
Le Bon just lately returned from the Cannes Film Festival, the place she held conferences looking for a financing spouse for her sophomore characteristic — a still-untitled Montreal-shot drama exploring subject matters of loss.
“It’s autobiographique,” says the bilingual actor, reluctant to show an excessive amount of.
“It’s a very, very personal movie and I think the goal is to try to make a very light-hearted movie on grief. It’s a challenge, but that’s what I’m aiming for.”
The Montreal-based Le Bon used to be on the town for Bell Media’s 2025-26 programming show off, the place Etalk hosts interviewed her all over a splashy match for media consumers concerning the final season of The White Lotus, which streams on Crave.
In Mike White’s eat-the-rich anthology sequence she performs Chloe, a socially savvy French-Canadian expat dwelling in Thailand together with her a lot older boyfriend, and the sequence’ primary antagonist, Greg, who now is going by means of “Gary.” She’s reputedly ignorant of Greg’s historical past: in Season 2, he pulled off a plot to homicide his spouse Tanya, performed by means of Jennifer Coolidge, to be able to inherit her wealth.
Le Bon says she used to be able to take a hiatus from appearing when she used to be presented the White Lotus position. Though she’d constructed a a hit profession — with roles reverse Joseph Gordon-Levitt within the 2015 biographical drama The Walk and Christian Bale within the 2016 warfare epic The Promise — her interest had shifted to running at the back of the digicam. Her 2023 horror-romance Falcon Lake, which she directed and co-wrote, premiered at Cannes to sturdy crucial acclaim.

“I was thinking about taking a break from acting because I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I still like it.’ I was just asking myself some questions about it… I sometimes played characters that were not really inspiring for me for some reason,” she says.
“And then White Lotus arrived and I was like, ‘There’s no way I can not do this. It’s just an amazing opportunity’… Between the moment where I sent the self-tape and the moment I was in the plane flying to Thailand, there were probably like 10 days.”

Le Bon says the enjoy of being a part of one of these pop-culture juggernaut used to be exhausting to wrap her head round.
“It’s kind of overwhelming when you’re taking part in such an important thing in culture. Even when it started to come out, when I started to see memes on it on social media, it was really exciting,” she says.
While appearing isn’t her present focal point, Le Bon says she could be down to go back for Season 4 — and has some concepts about how it might play out.
“If their relationship is based on true love, which I think it is, then maybe she’ll come back with Greg, because Greg has to come back, for sure,” she says.
Le Bon muses that Chloe may well be Greg’s partner and even the one that serves him his inevitable comeuppance.
“She could either become Greg’s ally and they can be like a duo of villains, or she can maybe be the one who will create the karma for Greg. Maybe she’ll give it to him,” she says.
“He has to get it at some point, so we’ll see what happens.”

While Chloe’s courting with Greg would possibly appear transactional at the floor, Le Bon argues the 2 proportion a deeper “understanding” of each other.
“I think what she likes in this relationship is she thinks she’s found a way to be free… just by spending a lot of money and partying and having sex with whoever she wants,” Le Bon says.
“I think they find an agreement by the end of the season where it’s clear that’s her intention and maybe he can take part in this and have fun with it as well.”
If that setup sounds ordinary, Le Bon says that’s simply the type of factor that pursuits her.
“There needs to be a singular aspect to a part that really inspires me in order for me to move my butt and be an actress again,” she says.
“It needs to be weird.”
