Walton Goggins Hosts SNL, Sidesteps White Lotus Co-Star Feud Rumors
Walton Goggins took center stage on Saturday Night Live this weekend, hosting the show alongside musical guest Arcade Fire. While the episode was a success, fans were particularly interested in whether Goggins would address the ongoing rumors of a feud with his *The White Lotus* co-star, Aimee Lou Wood. The answer? A resounding no.
Goggins, known for his role as Rick in the hit HBO series, did acknowledge *The White Lotus* during his monologue, joking about his character's fate. He also poked fun at headlines about his receding hairline, proving he's not afraid to laugh at himself. However, Wood's name was conspicuously absent.
The alleged feud between Goggins and Wood began swirling after the *White Lotus* Season 3 finale. Fans noticed the pair didn't follow each other on Instagram, and they skipped joint press appearances. Adding fuel to the fire, Goggins publicly praised an SNL sketch that mocked Wood's teeth, which reportedly upset the British actress.
Wood, for her part, has downplayed the rumors. When asked about Goggins at the Met Gala, she said they had seen each other recently and were "trying to download everything." She also predicted Goggins would be "hilarious" on SNL, though she didn't appear on the show herself.
The situation remains somewhat ambiguous, with both actors seemingly avoiding a direct confrontation about the alleged conflict. Goggins' refusal to discuss the matter in a recent interview further fueled speculation. While the details remain unclear, the public is certainly watching the dynamic between these two *White Lotus* stars closely.
