Walton Goggins had a very abrupt reaction after he was asked about a rumoured feud with co-star Aimee Lou Wood in a recent interview.
While chatting to The Times reporter Ed Potton, Goggins shut down the mention of Wood, after Potton brought up the fact that the pair no longer follow each other on Instagram.
Goggins and Wood recently starred together in the third season of The White Lotus, but rumours about their alleged feud intensified following an SNL sketch last month.
During an episode in April, the show mocked Amy's teeth after a skit, titled, The White POTUS, reimagined the Trump family on vacation.

Wood's character Chelsea appeared on the skit wearing large teeth and asking: "Fluoride? What's that?"
Reacting to a post on social media, Goggins commented: "Hahahahahhahaha Amazzzingggg," although it's not clear whether he was referring to the entire skit as a whole.
In response, Wood called the sketch 'cheap' commenting: "Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple weeks ago.
"Yes, take the p**s for sure – that's what the show is about – but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?
"I am not thin-skinned. I actually love being taken the p**s out of when it's clever and in good spirits. But the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth.
"I don't mind caricature – I understand that's what SNL is. But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on... Okay end of."
Fast-forward to Goggins' interview and the actor refused to talk about a potential feud.
“I’m not gonna have that conversation," he said.
Meanwhile, Goggins' American publicist said: “We’re not going there, thank you,” followed by his British rep asking for the 'next question'.
Although Potton changed the subject to talk about Goggins' movie, The Uninvited, he later brought up Wood again, to which Goggins' rep asked: “Shall we talk about ‘The Uninvited’ a bit more?”
Potton says that Goggin accused him of asking 'thinly veiled' questions and not seeming 'interested' in his movie, adding: “There is no conversation to be had about that. Sharing politics on social media — it’s in a vacuum."
And apparently, when Potton asked yet again, the interview went 'off the rails', with Goggin reportedly saying: “What the f**k, Ed! Come on, buddy. Wow.”
Meanwhile, the interview was immediately cut short.
Goggins is set to host SNL on May 10, despite the drama.
UNILAD has reached out to Goggins for comment.
