Getty Images Elsewhere in the shoot, the “White Lotus” star posed inside a public bathroom, pants around his ankles, casually smoking a cigarette. In another shot, Goggins ditched the jacket and struck a pose in just the speedo and a pair of yellow-and-black Lucchese boots, standing on a Venice Beach bike path crosswalk above a pavement warning that read, “LOOK.” The profile accompanying the photos included a Q&A with Jonathan Nolan, an executive producer and director on Goggins’ other breakout hit, “Fallout.” 8 Walton Goggins gave a breakout performance in “The White Lotus” Season 3. HBO 8 The profile accompanying the “CULTURED” photos included a Q&A with Jonathan Nolan, an executive producer and director on Goggins’ other breakout hit, “Fallout.” Asked by Nolan whether he has a “philosophy” for his approach to acting, Goggins replied by sharing how the “reverence” he brings to his roles stupefied one of his “White Lotus” co-stars. “I’ll say this. Someone I worked with on ‘The White Lotus’ didn’t fully understand my process,” Goggins confessed. “My character—Rick Hatchett—he’s isolated. So during filming, I was isolated. I liked mirroring that, but it was emotionally difficult.” He continued, “Then, a few months into ‘The White Lotus,’ ‘Fallout’ premiered and started to take off. One day, this actor I was working with—nice guy, good actor—came up to me and said, ‘You’re brilliant in ‘Fallout.’ Please tell me you had a good time making that.’” 8 “I’ll say this.

One day, this actor I was working with—nice guy, good actor—came up to me and said, ‘You’re brilliant in ‘Fallout.’ Please tell me you had a good time making that.’” GC Images Goggins was stunned. “I just stared at him. Because he didn’t get it,” the star said. “I don’t care how good you are—if you don’t understand that there’s a world beyond the script, if you don’t give yourself over to it, then you’re missing something profound in this work. This is the drug.” Goggins told his co-star, “No. I play a guy who’s lived for 200 years and seen the worst of humanity. Every day was fucking horrible.” “He just stared back at me like, ‘Okay, wow,’” the “Fallout” actor recalled. 8 Rumors recently began to swirl that Goggins has a “feud” with his “White Lotus” co-star and onscreen paramour Aimee Lou Wood, 31. 8 Some social media sleuths have even suggested that Goggins blocked Wood, though just last month, the actor called her “on some levels, a soulmate.” “So, I lean into that. The people I look up to lean into that. And this guy—again, great actor—just couldn’t understand. ‘Why would someone do that?’ I thought, ‘Why wouldn’t you?’ I bring that level of seriousness to everything I do,” Goggins said. “Comedy, drama—I take it all seriously. How many of these chances will I have? I want to squeeze as much life experience as I possibly can out of each one.” When Nolan asked Goggins if people are ever “starstruck” by him, the actor replied, “F— yes, I’m Walton Goggins.” Rumors recently began to swirl that Goggins has a “feud” with his “White Lotus” co-star and onscreen paramour Aimee Lou Wood, 31, as they do not follow each other on social media. Some social media sleuths have even suggested that Goggins blocked Wood, though just last month, the actor called her “on some levels, a soulmate.” Feud or not, the pair are reportedly slated to work together again sometime soon.
