Meet Nicholas Duvernay, the New York actor who plays Zion in The White Lotus: from Hollywood dreams to a Banana Republic fashion campaign … and starring with Blackpink’s Lisa in his breakout role
Duvernay has played minor parts in films such as Bad Girl and Purple Hearts – he was also confident in nailing his breakout role … which he got in ‘a day or two’ of the audition
In the show, it’s clear that Zion and his mother have a close relationship, while actress Natasha Rothwell, who plays Belinda, has nothing but praise for the 25-year-old.
“Yeah. I mean, Nicholas Duvernay, he is that. He’s a walking heart,” Rothwell said in an interview with Decider. “He’s very symmetrical, so it got a little Oedipal at times because I was just like, ‘I cannot be attracted to my son!’” Rothwell admitted before adding, “But no, seriously, he is so giving, so talented.”
He’s from New York
Duvernay was born in June 1999. The actor hails from Long Island, New York and was interested in pursuing acting from a young age, reports Esquire.
He was confident he’d bag the role of Zion
