No feuds here — just Jason Isaacs and Walton Goggins having a meet-cute at the airport.
“Guess who was on my plane? Hey, all you genius online sleuths – see any beef?!! #RicksAlive!!!” Isaacs, 61, wrote via Instagram on Friday, May 2, alongside two selfies of the White Lotus costars embracing in the airport. In one photo, the pair were all smiles for the camera. In the second, Isaacs can be seen kissing Goggins, 53, on his temple.
Goggins shared a similar selfie with Isaacs via his Instagram Story on Saturday, May 3, writing, “Got to hug Timothy Ratliff yesterday,” referencing Isaacs’ White Lotus character.
Last month, Isaacs dismissed rumors that there was tension between cast members on the popular Max drama.
“Like anywhere you go for the summer, there’s friendships, there’s romances, there’s arguments, there’s cliques that form and break and reform and stuff like that. I’m careful,” Isaacs said on an April 9 episode of SiriusXM’s “The Happy Hour” podcast. “I’m not stupid. I look at the Internet.”
He continued, “Nobody has the slightest clue what they’re talking about. People who think they’re onto something, and it then gets magnified because of a thousand other people. Nobody has any clue.”
Isaacs had previously described The White Lotus set as “a cross between summer camp and Lord of the Flies but in a gilded cage” in an interview with Vulture published March 30.
“All the things you would imagine with a group of people unanchored from their home lives on the other side of the world, in the intense pressure cooker of the working environment with eye-melting heat and insects and late nights,” he told the outlet at the time. “They say in the show, ‘What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand.’ But there’s an off screen White Lotus as well, with fewer deaths but just as much drama.”
However, Isaacs further clarified his comments during his April 9 appearance on “The Happy Hour” podcast.
“First of all, it’s none of your business,” he said. “I’m just saying it wasn’t a holiday, and partly I started saying that because people think we were on a seven-month holiday, and believe me, it felt like work a lot of the time. It was insanely hot and there’s all the normal social tensions you get anywhere.”
As for Goggins, earlier this week the actor abruptly ended an interview with The London Times, published on Thursday, May 1, when he was asked repeated questions about an alleged feud with his The White Lotus costar Aimee Lou Wood. “I’m not gonna have that conversation,” he said.
According to Times writer Ed Potton, Goggins allegedly called out the questions as “thinly veiled” attempts to discuss unsubstantiated rumors about a feud between him and Wood, 31. Goggins also allegedly said Potton did not seem “interested” in asking about the film Goggins was promoting, The Uninvited.
“There is no conversation to be had about that,” Goggins said when Wood was mentioned again. “Sharing politics on social media — it’s in a vacuum. “When Potton tried one more time to broach the subject, Goggins’ U.S. rep allegedly immediately cut the conversation short after an “off the rails” interview.
Goggins and Wood haven’t addressed the feud rumors and have continued to speak fondly of each other in interviews.
