A prominent Hollywood critic of Trump was spotted at the White House, grinning as press secretary Caroline Leavitt observed the daily happenings there.
Jason Isaacs, known for his role in “White Lotus,” made a cameo in a TikTok video by influencer Kate Mads, recognized for her celebrity and political interviews. After finishing his chat with Leavitt just outside the White House, he lingered for a moment.
“Hey, check out the people we’ve met,” Mads said, directing her camera towards Isaacs.
Mads noted she had recently interviewed Isaacs’ “White Lotus” co-star, Patrick Schwarzenegger, just a week prior during her brief engagement.
“We should attend a running show,” she suggested to Isaacs.
“I’m in, that sounds fun,” he replied, smiling. “But wait, run and talk at the same time? That’s a challenge!”
As they continued, Leavitt highlighted the unique atmosphere of the White House.
“You never know who you might bump into,” a White House spokesperson remarked.
Recently, Isaacs, at age 61, was spotted in Washington, D.C. There he and other celebs were seen mingling before a dinner, also related to lobbying efforts for the National Fund for the Arts.
@katemackz This is my second year back at the White House after talking on a mental health panel with President Biden. It feels surreal walking through such historic places. 🩵
During a brunch with White House correspondents, Isaacs met with firefighters and first responders who had been involved in a tragic collision near Washington National Airport, referring to the president with a term of endearment.
The British actor has vocally expressed his feelings toward Trump over the years.
In March, while promoting “White Lotus,” he recalled being advised to erase his social media history when Trump took office while he was in the U.S. on a visa.
“I’m not sure if my clear dislike for the current president will affect my future opportunities or my ability to work here,” Isaacs said.
Earlier this year, Isaacs, who plays a wealthy character in “White Lotus,” also appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” He mentioned seeing a connection between Trump and his role.
“I know it sounds strange, but my character is very self-centered, thinking mostly about himself,” he noted.
While he didn’t mention Trump during his chat with Mads, Leavitt shared her daily insights with the TikTok influencer.
Leavitt, at 27, showcased the White House press briefing room before introducing Mads to her office, where the New York Post from April 25 lay on her desk.
“I have a photo with the president, and it’s a treasure for me,” she said, noting her baby son would soon be included in a swearing-in ceremony.
A spokesperson for the White House added that she has a photo of her “first Air Force One Baby.”
Leavitt is the youngest White House press secretary ever, a title she earned after working in the White House during Trump’s first term. In her conversation with Mads, Leavitt described her role as a realization of a childhood dream and a complete circle in relation to the Trump administration.
