Aimee Lou Wood has wished her The White Lotus co-star Walton Goggins ahead of his Saturday Night Live hosting debut on May 10th amid rumours of a feud between the pair.

The duo played couple, Chelsea and Rick, in the third series of Mike White’s hit HBO show. However, despite their on-screen closeness, it surfaced on social media following the season finale that the pair had unfollowed one another on Instagram.

The saga continued as Goggins publicly praised a Saturday Night Live skit that poked fun at Wood’s teeth by resharing the clip to his Instagram Story, alongside the word “smashing” before deleting the post. On the other hand, Wood blasted the skit as “mean and unfunny” and has received an apology from Sarah Sherman, who spoofed her on the sketch show.

Furthermore, Goggins recently shut down a question about the feud during an interview The Times, stating, “I’m not going to have that conversation.” A publicist then reportedly urged the interviewer to move on to the “next question.”

When the interviewer tried to approach the subject again, Goggins tensely reiterated, “There is no conversation to be had about that. Sharing politics on social media – it’s in a vacuum.” The third time did not bring any luck for the interviewer. Goggins, exasperated, remarked, “What the fuck! Come on, buddy. Wow.”

Now, while speaking to ET on the red carpet at the Met Gala, Wood denied she would be appearing on Saturday Night Live while Goggins hosts, sharing, “I couldn’t say, but also I’m not doing that.” However, she added, “I loved working with Walton; it was the best thing ever.”

Heaping further praise on Goggins, Wood continued, “He’s going to be incredible doing SNL. It’s the perfect thing for him to do. It’s going to be hilarious. I’m so excited to see it.”

The English actor also addressed the Saturday Night Live sketch that mocked her appearance, saying it “all got very out of control.” She defended her decision to speak up, noting, “I could either say something—because I saw it and people were angry about it—or I could say something and just have it be said, and then I wouldn’t spiral inwardly and feel terrible about myself.”
