Jennifer Coolidge<\/b><\/a> revealed that starring on the first two seasons of <\/span>The White Lotus<\/span><\/i><\/a> helped improve her sex life offscreen.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though I play a complete weirdo in White Lotus<\/em>, cute guys come up to me,\u201d Jennifer, 63, told the Sunday Times<\/em><\/a> in an interview published on Sunday, March 23.<\/p>\n After making her debut as Tanya McQuoid<\/a> on season 1 of The White Lotus<\/em>, Jennifer was one of the few original cast members to continue appearing on season 2 of the HBO show. While fans hoped she would return for season 3, her time on the show was cut short when her character died during the season 2 finale.<\/p>\n Jennifer added that she\u2019s received even more \u201cbenefits\u201d from her role on The White Lotus<\/em> than she did when she starred as Stifler\u2019s mom in the 1999 comedy American Pie.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThis is far better than American Pie<\/em> because people were really sad about Tanya falling off a boat,\u201d she explained of her character\u2019s death<\/a>. \u201cThese men like you better because they feel that you went through something. That show really upped my game!\u201d<\/p>\n Jennifer also shared a specific interaction that she had a few years ago with a man in New Orleans to demonstrate how the role changed her love life. \u201cHe had a T-shirt on that his belly came out of, plus red cowboy boots. He was 4 feet 11 inches and he said, \u2018Would you like to go out?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cAnd, well, there was nothing wrong with him, but you have this idea that Brad Pitt or whoever will sweep you off your feet.\u201d<\/p>\n The Legally Blonde star continued, \u201c[The show] changed that for me<\/a>. It\u2019s not just that little guy anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n Jennifer has never been shy when it comes to discussing her personal life, and she previously revealed how her memorable American Pie<\/em> role helped improve her life behind closed doors. She was named the original \u201cMILF\u201d when the phrase was coined by her fictional son\u2019s classmate Paul Finch (portrayed by Eddie Kaye Thomas) in the 1999 comedy. Her character has several flings with the high school student in the film, which earned her the reputation of being a \u201cmother I\u2019d like to f\u2013k.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI got a lot of play at being a MILF and I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie,<\/em>\u201d she told Variety<\/em><\/a> in an August 2022 interview. \u201cThere were so many benefits to doing that movie. I mean, there would be like 200 people that I would never have slept with.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to helping her love life, Jennifer added that her role in the beloved comedy also helped boost her career.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe I got this special attention because people saw me as Stifler\u2019s Mom or the Legally Blonde woman,\u201d the Shotgun Wedding<\/em> star said. \u201cSo if they see something else \u2026 People that I could never get in the door \u2014 all of a sudden, they\u2019re asking me to be part of their things.\u201d<\/p>\n
