Los Angeles, California — Speculation surrounding a possible feud between actors Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood has intensified following their unfollowing of each other on Instagram. Goggins, who co-starred with Wood in Season 3 of HBO’s acclaimed series “The White Lotus,” recently declined to address the rumors during an interview with The Times, emphasizing that he does not wish to discuss personal matters from the set.
When questioned about their social media actions, Goggins firmly stated, “I’m not gonna have that conversation.” His publicists echoed his sentiment, intervening to steer the conversation away from the topic. Despite the growing curiosity fueled by fans, Goggins remarked, “There is no conversation to be had about that,” when the issue was raised again in light of his upcoming hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live.”
The dynamic between Goggins and Wood, who portrayed star-crossed lovers Rick and Chelsea, has sparked significant interest since the show’s finale earlier this month. Fans have speculated about the nature of their relationship as they noticed the actors’ mutual decision to unfollow each other online. The finale aired on April 6, leaving many wondering what might be brewing beneath the surface.
Adding to the intrigue, CNN correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister mentioned on a recent podcast that there might be a professional collaboration in the works between Goggins and Wood. “If there really is a feud, this has not stopped them,” she suggested, hinting that the actors could still be on friendly terms despite the online drama. She expressed uncertainty about whether any genuine issues exist between the two but confirmed that reports suggest they will reunite for a project soon.
The buzz surrounding their supposed rift intensified particularly after Wood criticized a sketch from “Saturday Night Live,” which was inspired by “The White Lotus,” describing it as “mean and unfunny.” This remark raised eyebrows, especially considering Goggins would be hosting the show shortly thereafter.
As fans continue to speculate, both actors have opted to remain tight-lipped about any personal conflicts, focusing instead on their professional endeavors. Season 3 of “The White Lotus” is currently available for streaming on Max, allowing audiences to revisit the intriguing storylines and complex characters that captivated viewers.
Amid the buzz, the true nature of Goggins and Wood’s relationship remains unclear, as they continue to navigate the intersection of personal and professional life in the public eye. With the potential for upcoming projects, fans can only hope for more clarity in the future.
