One of Hollywood’s most vocal critics of President Trump was spotted grinning at the White House as press secretary Karoline Leavitt gave a behind-the-scenes look into her day-to-day life there.

“The White Lotus” star Jason Isaacs was seen lingering in the background of a shot in a TikTok video by influencer Kate Mackz, known for interviewing celebrities and politicians while running with them, as she finished an interview with Leavitt outside the White House.

“Hi guys, look who we ran into,” Mackz said as she pointed her camera at the “The Patriot” actor.

The running influencer pointed out that she had just interviewed Isaacs’ “The White Lotus” co-star Patrick Schwarzenegger a week earlier during the brief engagement.

“We’ve got to get you on the running show,” she told Isaacs.

“Sure, I’m in,” the grinning A-lister responded. “Wait, running and talking at the same time? S–t.”

The pair then continued onward, with Leavitt pointing out how special a place the White House is.

“You just never know who you’re going to run into,” the 36th White House press secretary said.

Last week, Isaacs, 61, was seen across Washington, DC, with several celebrities ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and was also lobbying for National Endowment for the Arts funding.

The “Black Hawk Down” actor had met with firefighters and first responders from the midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport at the White House Correspondents’ Brunch on Sunday when he lashed out at Trump, referring to the president as a “scumbag,” according to the Daily Beast.

The British star hasn’t shied away from his feelings about the chief executive.

In March, he told “The News Agents” podcast that while promoting “The White Lotus,” he was advised to “completely wipe my social media history” since Trump was back in office and he was working in America on a visa.

“I don’t know whether my clear dislike for the current president of America will affect me in future, whether I’m allowed to work there at all,” the Harry Potter actor said.

In February, Isaacs — who plays wealthy businessman Timothy Ratliff on the hit HBO show — also appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and said there was a “tie-in” between Trump and his character.

“Sorry, we’re talking about a television show, but there is a tie-in,” he said. “I am playing an enormously wealthy and self-centered person who has really only thought about himself for most of his life.”

While the actor didn’t make any remarks about Trump during his brief interaction with Mackz at the White House, Leavitt did give the TikTokker an exclusive view of her day-to-day.

Leavitt, 27, showed off the White House press briefing room before taking her into her office — where she had an issue of the New York Post from April 25 on her desk.

“I obviously have photos of myself with the president,” she said, showing off the pictures hanging on her office wall. “And that’s my baby, my 9-month-old son from our senior staff swearing-in ceremony.”

The 36th White House press secretary also pointed out a picture of her “baby on his first Air Force One flight.”

Leavitt is the youngest person ever to serve as White House press secretary and was given the position after serving in the White House during Trump’s first term as assistant press secretary.

During her interview with Mackz, Leavitt said serving as White House press secretary is a “dream come true” and a “full-circle moment” in the Trump administration.
