Lucia and her aspiring singer bestie, Mia (Beatrice Grannò), are two of the local stars of Season 2 of “The White Lotus”.

The two girls use their youth and beauty to lure the rich guests of the local hotel and earn money with their company, sometimes with sex.

Lucia, in “The White Lotus”, is played by the Italian actress Simona Tabasco. And yes, that’s her real last name and, yes, she has a tattoo of a chili pepper on her arm as well as next to her name on her Instagram account.

About her character, Tabasco told Cosmopolitan: “Lucia is a free spirit. Work is what empowers her. If I had to find a reason he does this job, I would say the money. She loves money, it fuels her ambitions.”

“The main thing is that he has a lot of energy and an appetite for a long life. She wants to create connection with everything around her, and that is close to my personality. I want to get to the bottom of things, to the authenticity, to feel them in their rawness,” the actress said in an interview with Vulture.

“Characters are, in general, a bit of a reflection of the actors who play them. You can study a lot and get away from who you are, but you can’t get too far away.”

Simona Tabasco was born in Naples, Italy on April 5, 1994 and is an Aries.

He has more than 180,000 followers on Instagram.

Most of her scenes as Lucia in “The White Lotus” season 2 are with Beatrice Grannò, who plays her best friend, Mia. The two actors didn’t have to fake their friendship, having known each other for a decade before joining the HBO hit.

“We met ten years ago at school, when we were just starting out. Then she moved to London to study acting and I stayed in Rome. Four years ago, we met again on the set of a TV series and then became friends. That’s the chemistry you see on screen,” Tabasco told Vulture.

“When I was accepted into the White Lotus audition, I didn’t know that she had been accepted too. I invited her to practice together and we realized we were both trying for the same sequence. It was wonderful!”.

While “The White Lotus” is her first international participation, Simona Tabasco is known in Italy having starred in TV series such as I bastardi di Pizzofalcone, Luna Park, DOC – Nelle tue mani, È arrivata la felicità and Fuoriclasse.

On the big screen, she has appeared in films such as ‘The Ties’ (2020), Bob & Marys (2018) and I babysitter (2016).

The series is shown in Greece by the Vodafone TV platform.
