Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood REUNITE in bizarre interview to quash White Lotus feud and romance rumors
Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood finally addressed the feud rumors between them, which hit an all time high after they unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Months after feverish speculation that the White Lotus costars had a strained relationship, the actor, 53, got emotional as he insisted they were on good terms.
‘There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me,’ he insisted during a joint interview for Variety’s Actors on Actors series.
The father-of-one, who has been married to Nadia Conners since 2011, proceeded to sing Wood’s praises as he raved: ‘This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will.’
‘You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I’ll be on an island, I think Greece. But she’s special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply,’ he continued.
Wood proceeded to address the outrage over headlines that Goggins unfollowed her on social media, which fans perceived as a sign they did not get along.

‘I think it’s such a comment on where we’re at culturally,’ he said over the outrage. ‘Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don’t give a s**t about Instagram.’
Wood explained she wished more people were having ‘conversations about the story’ of their White Lotus characters, Rick and Chelsea, and simply enjoying the show.
As rumors swirled about them, Wood revealed she initially wanted to correct people, but feared her words would get twisted.
‘Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing,’ she said of why she stayed silent.
Goggins chimed in to say: ‘If I may add, just to put this to bed? The following or unfollowing. I’m a grown-a** man.’
The star went on to confess that he has historically struggled with goodbyes.
For example, Goggins recalled hugging his former Justified costar Tim Olyphant and telling him: ‘I love you, and I hope I see you in rooms for the rest of my life.’
‘I didn’t talk to him for almost two years. I’ve done that with every single thing that I’ve done,’ he admitted.
Goggins and Wood portrayed star-crossed lovers Rick and Chelsea on the latest season of the HBO show, with both their characters dying in the dramatic final episode.
