Walton Goggins Interview Shut Down After Aimee Lou Wood Questions
The recent interview with Walton Goggins conducted by The Times of London has caused quite a stir online after his U.S. publicist abruptly ended the conversation when questions about his “White Lotus” co-star Aimee Lou Wood were brought up. Speculations about a possible feud between the two actors have been circulating on social media following the finale of “The White Lotus” Season 3, where Goggins portrayed Rick Hatchett and Wood played his character’s girlfriend Chelsea.
The controversy escalated when a sketch on “Saturday Night Live” parodying “The White Lotus” Season 3 garnered attention after Wood criticized the portrayal of her character as mean and unfunny. While Wood expressed her disapproval, Goggins initially left a positive comment on the sketch but later deleted it, sparking further rumors of tension between the co-stars.
During the interview with The Times of London, Goggins’ British publicist redirected the conversation to focus on Goggins’ new movie “The Uninvited,” directed by his wife Nadia Conners. Despite attempts to steer the discussion away from the rumored feud with Wood, the interviewer persisted in bringing up the topic, prompting Goggins to express his frustration and shut down any further discussion on the matter.
Both Goggins and Wood are anticipated to be contenders for Emmy nominations for their performances in “The White Lotus” Season 2. Wood, who previously voiced her displeasure with the “SNL” sketch, clarified that her criticism was not directed at the actress who portrayed her character but rather at the concept of the joke. In a follow-up post, Wood emphasized that she appreciates caricature when done cleverly and in good spirits, but felt that the skit unfairly targeted her character.
Despite the controversy, Sherman sent Wood flowers as a gesture of goodwill amid the ongoing speculation surrounding the “White Lotus” co-stars. As the awards season approaches, fans will be keen to see how Goggins and Wood navigate the aftermath of the publicized interview and continue to showcase their talents in the industry.
