Walton Goggins made a name for himself by starring in a string of critically acclaimed television shows during the 2000s. Goggins is set to appear in the upcoming post-apocalyptic drama series Fallout, based on the role-playing video game series of the same name. To promote the series, Goggins appeared on a late-night talk show where he shared a hilarious anecdote.
During his conversation with the host, Goggins shared that he had a panic attack during a trip to Paris, France. However, the reason behind Goggins’ panic attack was an exact mirror to the first season of the HBO anthology series The White Lotus, which will feature Goggins in its upcoming third season. Here is what Goggins said about his experience in Paris and its co-relation with The White Lotus.
Walton Goggins Reveals He Had a Panic Attack Over His Hotel Room in The White Lotus
Walton Goggins appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where he discussed his work on the upcoming television adaptation of the video game franchise Fallout. During the conversation, Meyers asked Goggins about his involvement in the upcoming third season of HBO’s The White Lotus.
Goggins revealed that while he was on his way to film the third season in Thailand, he decided to stop in Paris to attend an art show. Goggins called the art show life-changing until he experienced a sudden panic attack.
Goggins then hilariously revealed the reason behind the panic attack by stating:
“This is horrible because I couldn’t stop thinking about all the other cast members checking into The White Lotus and all of them having a much better room than me.”
Goggins further elaborated by stating that he did not want his The White Lotus co-stars to have rooms with better views while he was stuck with a bad one.
However, Goggins also clarified that when he arrived in Thailand, his room was as good as those of his co-stars. In response, Meyers chimed in by pointing out the absurdity of Goggins having a panic attack over receiving a bad room, which was a major plot point in the show’s first season.
Walton Goggins Talks Working On His Wife’s Debut Film
During his conversation with Meyers, Goggins also discussed working on The Uninvited, which is written and directed by his wife, Nadia Conners. The film marks Conners’ directorial debut and stars Goggins alongside Pedro Pascal.
In response to Meyers’ question about being directed by his wife, Goggins shared the following reaction:
“We made it through. We’re not divorced.”
Goggins jokingly made the above statement about working with his wife. The Ant-Man and the Wasp actor added that since it was an independent film he anticipated some of the problems the production could face. However, he did not want to interfere with his wife’s process. Goggins added:
“But when it’s your wife or your spouse, you know, there’s a different line that you don’t cross.”
The Uninvited was released in theaters on March 11, 2024. Meanwhile, Fallout, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Walton Goggins will release on April 11, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video.
