*\*Spoilers Ahead – Friends, if you have not watched ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 finale just yet, do not – I repeat – do NOT read on. The rest of you, let's chat!*

Last night's finale of *The White Lotus* has left the internet with two things on our minds:

1. the tragic deaths of lovers Chelsea and Rick in the shootout (horrific!) and
2. Laurie's sprint as soon as the shots were fired!

I mean, did you see that woman *run?* She did *not* look back to her friends. She just bolted to save herself! Understandable given the situation?

Now, actor **Carrie Coon** who portrays Laurie in the series is reacting to all the viral memes praising her for her epic sprint. Speaking to [*Variety*](https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/carrie-coon-white-lotus-finale-marvel-pay-meghan-mccain-feud-1236361531/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io)*,* Carrie says, "There wasn't direction. I knew the gunshot was going to happen, and we were going to run into the bushes, essentially."

She continues, "Look, I'm an American and a New Yorker, and if you think I don't know where the exists are in any building, then you're not paying attention to the news. I thought, what would a person do? A person would f\*\*\*ing run, would book it, and I'm fast! I'm not as fast as I used to be!"

The shootout is not the only scene where Carrie's character is seen sprinting either. You might remember she makes a big dash for it after her one-night stand too.

Interestingly, it turns out Carrie was in fact a sprinter back in the day - According to *Runner's World,* she placed second at the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships in 2000 after completing the 400m in 59.36 seconds!

This third season of *The White Lotus* has been hugely popular, with a record 6.2 million people tuning in for the final episode. Per *Variety,* that's a 30% improvement on the previous season record.
