When he had to pretend to shit in a suitcase forThe White Lotus, he rose to the occasion.

ButWelcome to Chippendalesbrought a whole new mountain to climb: strip-dance choreography.

It was a really good challenge, Bartlett told Vulture at the shows November 16 red-carpet premiere.

Im not a professional dancer.

Maybe youve noticed that.

Ironically, some of the actors he was teachingdidhave dance training.

So while Bartlett pretended to know what he was doing, the background actors had to pretend they didnt.

So I drilled the choreography that I had to do, he said.

The most challenging part was I had to do this scene where Im teaching the dancers this routine.

That kind of scrambled my brain, but I did it!
