Walton Goggins abruptly ended a tense interview after repeatedly being asked about his rumored feud with his “White Lotus” co-star Aimee Lou Wood.
London Times writer Ed Potton first broached the subject by mentioning that Goggins, 53, and Wood, 31, no longer follow each other on Instagram.
“I’m not gonna have that conversation,” the actor responded in the story published Thursday.
Goggins’ American publicist then interrupted the Q&A to say, “We’re not going there, thank you,” which prompted his British rep to demand the “next question.”
Potton wrote that he quickly pivoted the conversation to Goggins’ new movie “The Uninvited,” though the entertainment journalist admittedly brought up Wood again later on when he inquired about reports that the former castmates will make a public appearance together soon.
“Shall we talk about ‘The Uninvited’ a bit more?” the British publicist quickly suggested.
Potton claimed Goggins then called him out for sneaking in “thinly veiled” queries and not seeming “interested” in the film that the Emmy nominee was promoting.
“There is no conversation to be had about that. Sharing politics on social media — it’s in a vacuum,” he tersely added.
But when a determined Potton pressed once last time, the “Justified” alum snapped, “What the f–k, Ed! Come on, buddy. Wow.”
Potton claimed Goggins’ US rep immediately cut short the interview, which the longtime reporter described as “off the rails” in his article.
While Goggins and Wood appeared to be on good terms while filming Season 3 of their HBO series, in which they played doomed lovers Rick and Chelsea, fans began speculating about the current status of their friendship as the episodes aired earlier this year.
The purported drama only worsened last month when the “Fallout” star praised a “Saturday Night Live” sketch that mocked the English actress’s teeth.
Despite Wood publicly calling the skit “mean and unfunny,” Goggins has since announced he will host “SNL” on May 10.
