Aimee Lou Wood And Walton Goggins Address Their Rumored Feud: ‘We Care About Each Other Very Deeply'
'There is no feud,' Walton Goggins says of his relationship with Aimee Lou Wood, his co-star in The White Lotus season 3, courtesy of a new interview with Variety. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE That revelation might come as a surprise to series fans, some of whom have questioned the status of Goggins and Wood's friendship in the wake of the third season's debut earlier this spring. Feud rumors first circulated on the heels of comments by co-star Jason Isaacs, who repeatedly referred to 'social tensions' on the HBO drama's Thailand set. Those rumors were further inflamed by Goggins's physical separation from the rest of the ensemble cast, including Wood, post-wrap. As he explained to Variety, that distance wasn't personal: He's been preoccupied with production on Prime Video's Fallout season 2, and on the evening of The White Lotus season 3's finale, he was in New York for an appearance on a late-night show, far from his fellow cast members. In the latest chapter of showrunner Mike White's hit drama, Goggins and Wood play Rick and Chelsea, an unlikely pair of star-crossed lovers who meet a heart-breaking fate in the finale episode. During the Variety interview, in which Wood and Goggins were interviewed jointly, Goggins turned to Wood to express his sorrow at having missed the cast's finale watch party. 'I wish I would have been able to watch this with you,' he shared. 'It was so cathartic and so painful, and I regret that. I really do.' But as the two explained in the cathartic tell-all, they have nothing but love to share with each other, and their rumored 'feud' largely amounts to public misconception. 'I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me,' Goggins said of Wood. 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' In the days leading up to Goggins's recent Saturday Night Live hosting gig, the comedy show revealed a skit in which Sarah Sherman played a parody version of Wood's White Lotus character, Chelsea, complete with a pair of prosthetic buck teeth. Wood later went on Instagram to describe the sketch as 'mean and unfunny,' while Goggins reposted the clip and complimented its humor. Many viewers interpreted this move as a not-so-subtle swipe at Wood. Goggins told Variety it was anything but, and that after he encountered Wood's hurt response, he 'felt awful and deleted his post.' 'I've been posting for 14 fucking years, and if I'm gonna say something, I'm gonna say it to your face,' Goggins said. 'I don't use social media in any way, and I'm not a mean guy.' Added Wood, 'I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally. Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a shite about Instagram.' Goggins also addressed why he unfollowed Wood on Instagram after The White Lotus wrapped, as well as his recent interview with the U.K.'s Times, which was published with the title, 'Walton Goggins: Aimee Lou Wood? I'm not gonna have that conversation.' Regarding the Times story, Goggins said he simply did not feel as if a solo interview was the right time and space to address his relationship with Wood. 'What am I gonna do, speak for both of us? Never,' he said. Regarding Instagram, he explained that he unfollowed Wood as a way to distance himself not from Wood herself but from the experience of filming The White Lotus. 'My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place,' Goggins said of his time in Thailand, referencing his time spent traveling the country in the wake of his wife's suicide in 2004. 'I knew what [Aimee and I] had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea,' Goggins continued. 'And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' He continued, 'I needed to just back away from everyone. I haven't spoken to anyone [from the cast]. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a fuck what you think. This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me. And so that's what I needed to do for me to process all of this.' At the end of their conversation, Variety reports that Goggins re-followed Wood on Instagram, and that they embraced. 'I completely understand,' Wood told him. His response: 'I love you.' If only Rick could have expressed his feelings with this much clarity! ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

As LIV arrives in Virginia, Bryson DeChambeau is its entertainer-in-chief
Bryson DeChambeau's relentless devotion to his craft has become the stuff of legend among peers, who describe the LIV Golf star's work habits as near maniacal. Even when not on the range, the self-proclaimed perfection seeker often is assessing how he can elevate his practice regimen. That attention to preparation and execution has contributed to DeChambeau's two U.S. Open titles, including last year at Pinehurst. It hasn't, however, interfered with another responsibility DeChambeau embraces with similar gusto. As much as winning occupies a wide berth in his headspace, so, too, does being a showman. Forays into that realm have transformed the renegade from the PGA Tour, where he had been a divisive figure, into a social media sensation, with millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram. His YouTube channel has north of 2 million subscribers. DeChambeau's visibility on such platforms is virtually unmatched in the sport. 'Did I ever think it would get this big?' he said during a pretournament news conference ahead of this week's LIV event at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. 'I had no clue. I really had no idea. Is it now an incredible responsibility? Yes, and I understand that. I want to continue to entertain my fans and continue to play the great game of golf that we all love at the highest level. 'I want to compete, and I want to entertain. Those are the two things I love doing, and it's quite an honor.' Count the president of the United States among his admirers. Earlier this week, DeChambeau visited the White House and, at the urging of President Donald Trump, hit balls on the South Lawn, turning the swath of property into a makeshift par-3. A video of the moment posted by an official White House account on X has been viewed close to 900,000 times. Another viral moment came when DeChambeau traveled to Utah, where he posted to his YouTube channel a video with the tongue-in-cheek title, 'Day in the life of a recreational golfer …' Highlights included flying in a helicopter to a mountain range to hit balls and doing the same at the Bonneville Salt Flats several hours west of Provo. The 63-second clip has generated almost 1 million views. One of DeChambeau's most viewed TikTok videos came in November, five months after outlasting Rory McIlroy by one stroke at the U.S. Open. In the post, which has garnered 1.5 million likes, DeChambeau used a wedge to hit over the roof of his home onto a green in his backyard, needing 134 swings before collecting an ace that triggered a cap-tossing celebratory sprint to retrieve the ball. 'I've always seen this side of him, this playful, fun side, intelligent side, interesting side of him,' said Phil Mickelson, the six-time major champion who departed the PGA Tour for LIV three years ago. 'Since he has really dove into the YouTube space, now everybody gets to see it because he's able to showcase that and not have it filtered by a middle person. … It's been remarkable to see the evolution of that and the way the public has responded to him, because he's always been like that. It just hasn't been able to get noticed, I guess, properly.' Still, the mere mention of DeChambeau can roil PGA Tour loyalists. Some have cast him as a turncoat since he bailed for the Saudi-financed circuit that seeks to disrupt traditional golf norms with 54-hole tournaments in which there are no cuts and team as well as individual competitions. DeChambeau sparked more controversy at this year's Masters after telling reporters that McIlroy, who won his first green jacket to complete a career grand slam, did not speak with him while they played together during the closing round. McIlroy's sports psychologist, the famed Bob Rotella, indicated during a subsequent radio interview with the BBC that the decision not to engage with DeChambeau was strategic and not intended as a personal slight. Also in the aftermath, Padraig Harrington, a three-time major winner, and analyst Brandel Chamblee were critical of DeChambeau. None of that has mattered to DeChambeau's legion of fans who clamor for his autograph at tournaments. DeChambeau reciprocates by signing and posing for pictures before and after each round. He said he plans more of the same this week while also getting his game and mind right for next week's U.S. Open at Oakmont, among the most demanding venues that have hosted the tournament. DeChambeau is aiming to become the first back-to-back winner at the U.S. Open since Brooks Koepka, also on the LIV tour, did so in 2017 and 2018. 'I feel like Bryson is somebody that changes and tries new things every time, which I feel like there's nothing wrong with that,' said Joaquín Niemann, who leads the individual LIV standings, with DeChambeau second. 'You can learn a lot from new experiences. Obviously, he's different. He's way different than me, way different than anybody. The way he approaches the game is completely different, which I feel like is unique, and in his way, it works for him.'
