Walton Goggins gave The White Lotus fans a fun glimpse into his character during his Saturday Night Live (SNL) debut on May 10th. The 53-year-old actor, known for his role in the hit HBO series, took the stage as the host of the weekend comedy show, sharing a hilarious pre-taped sketch alongside his The White Lotus co-star, Sam Rockwell.
In the sketch, the duo portrayed “fully grown-ass men” with “tiny baby feet,” offering fans a lighter, comedic side of their characters compared to their intense roles in The White Lotus. The musical number left audiences laughing as it showcased their more absurd and playful personas, a stark contrast to the drug-fueled revenge plotlines from the show.
Later in the episode, Goggins humorously addressed the overwhelming attention his character received in The White Lotus season 3. Referring to the fan-made memes about his character being a heartthrob despite his “receding hairline” and “greasy” look, Goggins laughed it off, saying, “I’ve had the same hairline since I was 7. It’s not receding, it’s holding its ground.”
Despite the The White Lotus references throughout the episode, Goggins avoided commenting on rumors surrounding a supposed rift with his co-star Aimee Lou Wood, leaving fans to wonder about the off-screen dynamics between the two.
Goggins’ appearance on SNL brought a new dimension to his acting versatility, as fans saw him in a more comedic light, far removed from his intense and dramatic The White Lotus character. His humor and candid comments during the show further solidified his ability to tackle a variety of roles, from drama to comedy.
