The star sporting a skintight yellow speedo will surely catch fans' attention.
Viewers watched Rick and Aimee Lou Wood's character Chelsea's dynamic unfold across the season.
Following the dramatic finale, Walton sat down with Cultured for a photoshoot and interview.
He addressed having been asked what the "secret" to his enduring success is.
Walton shared: "It was interesting to sit with that and try to answer honestly—I said, 'If I'm being real, it's fear.' Truly. A heavy dose of anxiety."
The star added: "Of letting people down, being unprepared, dishonoring the people who made it possible for me to play pretend in front of a camera.
"So, I try to work harder than anyone in the room."
Continuing, Walton also opened up about how his process differed from colleagues on The White Lotus.
He revealed: "I'll say this. Someone I worked with on The White Lotus didn't fully understand my process.
"My character—Rick Hatchett—he's isolated. So during filming, I was isolated.

Reddit, TikTok, and X were flooded with speculation over why the pair are not following each other on the social media site.
One fan posted online: "They used to idolize each other and talk about each other in such positive light in interviews and such, it's so weird that all of a sudden there's this switch up?"
Another shared: "They unfollowed each other on insta a couple weeks ago, walton posts white lotus stuff and tags everyone in the photos except aimee lou wood, posts a whole tribute to white lotus and still doesn't tag her, posts tons of pictures of her on his story in a commemorative tribute to the show. what happened?"

'I fell in love with baby name but my husband says it's reserved for strippers'
A woman is seeking advice after seeing her husband's stern reaction to the name she picked out for their future daughter - but she says his child will never go by that moniker A woman has shared her heartache after her husband 'shot down' her favourite baby name while claiming it's better suited to a stripper. She explained how she is pregnant with her second child and has been longing to give her daughter a specific name since coming across it. She said on Reddit: "I am 12 weeks and five days with baby number two, yet to find out the sex. I have fallen head over heels in love with a girl's name that I have no doubt if I am pregnant with a girl that I will choose it. The problem is my husband hates it and also says there are bad connotations to the name." She goes on to explain how the name Balerina, spelt with one L, is all she has been able to think about after learning she was pregnant. She added: "He said the name is associated with strippers and prostitutes (night ballerina). I have never heard that before. But after checking TikTok, it looks to be an actual thing. "He picked out son's name the day I found out the gender and I agreed with it no matter what I thought about it. "Luckily, I was OK with the name and had no problems, but I never ever considered saying no to a name that he liked for our son because it would've been something special for him, especially to pick his name." However, her husband isn't allowing her the same grace when it comes to naming their second born, with her added: "He said he would accept Blerina as a first name or Balerina as a middle name but he said his daughter will never have that name because people will tease her and make bad connotations." In an attempt to settle her mind, she has taken to social media to ask users for their thoughts on the moniker - and whether it's a good or bad idea. In response, one user said: "I have a unique name. It's been trouble my entire life. Ballet is a type of dance and the dancers are called ballerinas. "Why would you name a child after an occupation or profession? One or 2 Ls is not the issue. "Write Peynter or Payntir, but aloud it's still the occupation Painter, one who paints. Balerina will be asked her entire life if she's also a ballerina. Get a cat, dog, bird or hamster and call it Blerina." Another user added: "This whole dad naming the boy and mum naming the girl concept is foreign to me and plain stupid. "The name for either sex should be mutually agreed upon by both parents (not the in-laws or anybody else). "Granted, yes, you'll likely have to make some compromises, like incorporating a family name as a middle name or whatnot. "But at the end of the day Balerina/Blerina is a dumb name and not a hill any expectant parent should die on." A third user said: "You're both off base. His take on that name is odd, and your desire to deliberately misspell a noun is going to be hard on your child. "You can name your child whatever you want but if you deliberately misspell something, your child will be unique for all the wrong reasons and they'll resent you for it."

Emmerdale fans dub infuriating storyline an embarrassment
It was claimed that the storyline was poorly fact-checked and that there were a number of inaccuracies. An annoyed Emmerdale fan took to the ITV show's Reddit page to raise their concerns, telling others: "Of course, we all knew how messed up this storyline was anyway. But the inaccuracy of how female fertility works is absolutely enraging. "I've got fertility issues, so I know how it works, and it makes zero sense. It's as though it was written with the knowledge of a 14-year-old boy." Highlighting their issues with the storyline, the user wrote: "Charity had the embryo transfer and a few days later was going on about how she had 'miscarried' it when she had the fall and started bleeding. "It does not work like that. At the time she would've fell, the embryo wouldn't even have implanted yet, she wouldn't even have been pregnant yet. Given Charity's age and the incredibly low chance of implantation, it is MUCH more likely that it would've been her period, rather than a 'miscarriage'. "Also, at that very early stage, before the embryo has even implanted, a fall of the kind that Charity had simply would not affect implantation!! It was way too early for that. The embryo is a microscopic bundle of cells; it wouldn't have been impacted at all." They also took issue with how long it took her to recover from her miscarriage in the show, stating: "It takes the body at least two weeks (but usually even longer) to recover after a miscarriage! "If we go by the logic that every failed attempt to get pregnant should be referred to as a miscarriage, then I've had dozens of miscarriages over the years, as has every other woman." They concluded by penning: "It's a joke, they didn't even bother to do the most basic of research. "I'm hoping it'll turn out that Charity is just not very knowledgeable, and it's confirmed that the baby is Sarah's. "Logically, Sarah's is the only possibility. But I'm sure they will have it be Ross's and completely ignore basic human biology." Recommended Reading: Fans of the show agreed, with on user writing: "It's frustrating because they claim to take so much care with certain storylines (Belle's abuse and the BRAC gene that faith passed on to Chas) and insist they are trying to accurately portray the issue, but this I've storylines seems made up as they go along. "Zero fact-checking, zero concern for the issue (and people who have lived the issue) they are representing." Another added: "Ahhhhh, thank you, I was literally thinking this as well. "As someone who was previously actively trying to conceive, I had done my research on how it works, and this made no sense to me either."

Pete Davidson reveals why he feels 'guilty' about GF's pregnancy
Pete Davidson revealed why he felt 'guilty' about his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt's pregnancy. The comedian, 31, admitted that he initially 'felt bad' after they shared their pregnancy news with the world. Last month, his girlfriend, a 29-year-old model and actress, shared the news on social media with snapshots of the expecting parents and a sonogram photo, which she captioned: 'Welp now everyone knows we had sex.' While making an appearance on Wednesday's episode of The Breakfast Club, he said he felt bad that her pregnancy would be in the public eye. 'I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of s***. Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing,' he said. The Saturday Night Live alum previously shared his excitement about becoming a first-time father but explained his concerns about being in the spotlight. 'She's a very private person and she's the one doing all the work,' he added. 'It's supposed to be a beautiful experience.' Pete then clarified that his girlfriend had never complained about being in the spotlight but added that he felt bad about the added attention while she is pregnant. 'She's never made me feel this way or said anything but I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy,' he said. The couple have been dating for less than half a year and were first romantically linked in March. In late July, Pete shared his feelings about becoming a father for the first time with his girlfriend early into their relationship. 'I'm very lucky and very, very happy,' he told E! News at the premiere of The Home in New York City. He admitted that being a dad has been his 'dream' and several of his A-list pals reached out to him with advice. Pete explained that he is looking forward to 'being able to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have'. 'I assume you just try and give them what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not to do it. 'Everybody's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream,' he said. 'They all just have been like, "You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing you'll ever do in your life." [Adam] Sandler gave me some great advice. 'It's been really nice that everyone's super excited. When you do something, when we do anything, you want everyone to be excited, especially having a child.'
