Former LSU gymnast and social media sensation Livvy Dunne says she recently auditioned for the fourth season of the HBO drama series “The White Lotus.”
In an interview with Boardroom on Tuesday, Dunne says her very first audition for an acting role was for the hit HBO series, but she didn’t get the part.
“My first audition was in person for a big show. Am I allowed to say that? I don’t know. I didn’t get it, but it was for season 4 of White Lotus. So that was my first audition,” she said.

Dunne admitted she felt “nervous” before the audition.
“I was obviously a little nervous at first. I was like, ‘Oh man, what if I forget the lines?'” she added.
“I’ve done much harder things than that in my life. I’ve done a flip on a balance beam in front of 13,500 people. I can do that. It’s different. I think I would have preferred to do a backflip in front of the casting director. But I mean, I went there, I put it all out there. It was my first audition. I mean, I didn’t know what to expect. And honestly, it was a lot of fun.”

PK Press Club Digital has contacted HBO for comment.
Dunne, who has more than 7.9 million followers on TikTok and an additional 5.2 million on Instagram, has balked at being labeled and an “influencer” since ending her college gymnastics career.
Dunne bristled at the term “influencer” during an interview with Maxim. She was then asked how she wanted to be designated.
“A former athlete, and honestly, currently: a model,” she said.
