Actor Walton Goggins recently declined to answer questions about the status of his professional and personal relationship with "White Lotus" costar Aimee Lou Wood, fueling speculation regarding rumored friction between some members of the white lotus cast from the show's third season. Goggins' refusal came during a published interview where an interviewer reportedly pressed the topic multiple times.
According to a May 1 interview, Walton Goggins was asked directly about a speculated falling out with Wood. Goggins responded by stating he would "not gonna have that conversation," according to the account. Publicists present reportedly intervened after the initial question and subsequent attempts by the interviewer to revisit the topic.
The persistent questioning occurred during an interview primarily meant to discuss Goggins' latest film, "The Uninvited." Despite redirect attempts, the interviewer continued to inquire about Wood, leading to Goggins' increasingly terse responses, including a final exclamation before the interview concluded.
The rumors gained public traction after observers noted that Goggins and Wood reportedly stopped following each other on social media platforms following the conclusion of the show's third season filming in Thailand. The actors played mismatched lovers whose characters died in the series finale.
Amid the ongoing speculation, fellow "White Lotus" actor Jason Isaacs posted a selfie with Goggins taken after they encountered each other on a flight. Isaacs tagged Goggins in the May 2 post and playfully referenced the "beef" rumors, asking online observers if they saw any tension between the two actors in the photo.
Jason Isaacs previously commented on the dynamic among the show's cast members, describing the set as a "little pressure cooker." He noted that relationships formed, broke, and reformed among the cast during their time working together, similar to any group spending a summer together.
Isaacs' recent post also included a tag referencing Duke University, an apparent reference to the school's public complaints about its association with his character, Timothy Ratliff, in the series. The actor previously wore a shirt featuring the university mascot to a finale event following the school's statement.
During his earlier comments about set dynamics, Isaacs dismissed extensive online speculation regarding rumored cast tensions. He stated that those believing they have uncovered specific details likely do not have accurate information.
Regarding the online discussion, Isaacs said, "Nobody has any clue."
