- Charlotte Le Bon is prioritizing directing over acting after success with Falcon Lake.
- She starred as Chloe in The White Lotus Season 3, earning wide acclaim.
- Le Bon is open to returning for Season 4, potentially as Greg’s ally — or his reckoning.
Charlotte Le Bon, known for her sharp portrayal of Chloe in The White Lotus Season 3, is shifting gears professionally. Speaking during a Bell Media event in Toronto, the Montreal-born actress revealed that directing is now her main creative focus.
Although she had considered taking a break from acting, Le Bon couldn’t resist the opportunity The White Lotus presented. The role reignited her enthusiasm for acting — but only when the character is unusual or creatively stimulating.
Charlotte Le Bon Isn’t Done with Chloe Just Yet — But Directing Comes First
After making waves as Chloe in The White Lotus, Charlotte Le Bon is stepping back from the spotlight to focus on directing. The actress-turned-filmmaker is currently developing her second feature, a semi-autobiographical drama she hopes will bring levity to themes of grief. She’s seeking financing following initial meetings at Cannes and says the process is deeply personal and creatively fulfilling.
Despite her growing acclaim in acting, Le Bon admits she was ready to pause her on-screen career before The White Lotus came calling. The complex role — a sexually liberated, unapologetically rich expat — offered her the kind of offbeat challenge she now seeks. “There needs to be a singular aspect to a part… it needs to be weird,” she explained, reflecting her selective approach to future roles.
Le Bon’s character, Chloe, remains one of Season 3’s most talked-about figures, particularly for her entanglement with Greg — Tanya’s shady widower from Season 2. While their relationship appeared superficial, Le Bon insists there’s a deeper dynamic at play. She believes Chloe sees freedom in their arrangement, enjoying indulgence while retaining autonomy.
Though her directorial path is now her priority, Le Bon is open to returning as Chloe in Season 4, should creator Mike White bring the character back. She’s even imagined storylines — from teaming up with Greg as a villainous pair to orchestrating his downfall. “He has to get it at some point,” she teased, hinting that justice — or karma — may come from Chloe herself.
Whether behind the camera or briefly stepping back in front of it, Charlotte Le Bon is charting her own artistic path — one that’s bold, personal, and defiantly unconventional.
“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. It needs to be weird.” – Charlotte Le Bon
