Walton Goggins’ Interview Drama with The Times of London
Walton Goggins recently sat down for an interview with The Times of London, but things took a turn when writer Ed Potton insisted on asking about the actor’s “White Lotus” co-star Aimee Lou Wood. The interview, which was meant to promote Goggins’ new movie “The Uninvited,” quickly became viral after Goggins’ U.S. publicist shut it down.
Rumors of a feud between Goggins and Wood have been circulating on social media following the finale of “The White Lotus” Season 3. Wood, who played Goggins’ girlfriend Chelsea in the season, criticized a sketch on “Saturday Night Live” that parodied her character, calling it “mean” and “unfunny.” Goggins, on the other hand, initially left a positive comment on the sketch but later deleted it, leading to more speculation about their relationship.
During the interview, Goggins’ British publicist redirected the conversation to “The Uninvited” when Potton brought up Wood. Goggins seemed reluctant to discuss the topic, stating that “The Uninvited” was likely the interviewer’s least interesting subject. When pushed further about Wood, Goggins expressed frustration, saying, “There is no conversation to be had about that.”
Despite the tension, both Goggins and Wood are expected to be contenders for Emmy awards for their work in “The White Lotus” Season 2. Wood, who initially criticized the “SNL” sketch, later clarified that she doesn’t mind being made fun of as long as it’s done cleverly and in good spirits. She also received flowers from Sarah Sherman, the SNL cast member who portrayed her in the controversial sketch.
The interview ended abruptly after Goggins’ publicist intervened, signaling the end of the discussion. The drama surrounding Goggins and Wood’s relationship continues to captivate fans and industry insiders alike as they navigate the aftermath of “The White Lotus” Season 3.
