If you’ve been watching The White Lotus season three and suddenly forgot how to breathe every time Arnas Fedaravicius walked on screen—congrats, you’re not alone and also very valid. The 33-year-old Lithuanian heartthrob has been serving tropical thirst traps, high drama, and a whole lot of… abs, leaving fans absolutely parched.
Naturally, with great shirtlessness comes great responsibility—and also, a tsunami of spicy DMs.
In an interview with Flaunt, Arnas spilled the (very hydrating) tea on being objectified by fans, saying, “I find it funny, honestly.” Which is exactly what you say when people are sliding into your inbox like it’s a Slip ‘N Slide sponsored by thirst.
Arnas went on to reveal that his steamy debut scene? Totally unplanned. “The costume for my opening scene wasn’t even planned—it was added last minute,” he said, which basically translates to: someone on set woke up and chose chaos (and thank you for your service). “I immediately saw what they were going for.” Spoiler alert: we all saw what they were going for, Arnas. It was abs. They were going for abs.
He’s no stranger to the attention, either. “I’ve experienced that kind of attention in my life before—not in a negative way, but it’s amusing.” We imagine it’s hard to be subtle when your cheekbones could cut glass and your jawline has its own IMDb page.
And the DMs? Oh honey. Buckle up. “Some are funny, some are flattering, and some are… a bit much!” he teased. Translation: someone out there probably proposed marriage, offered him a kidney, or both in the same message. But Arnas is taking it all in stride. “At the end of the day, I take it all with a sense of humour,” he said, like the humble thirst king he is.
“As long as it stays respectful,” he added, “I don’t mind embracing that aspect of Valentin’s character.”
So go ahead, admire from afar. Slide into his DMs if you must. Just maybe keep it classy and save the full fanfic chapter for your private Google Docs. Arnas sees you, appreciates you… and is probably laughing at your memes.
