Walton Goggins recently opened up about his nearly nude photoshoot in an exclusive interview with GQ. The 54-year-old actor posed naked for the cover image as he sat on a chair in nothing but a pair of dark glasses with a cigarette hanging from his lips. Goggins crossed his right leg over his left while facing the camera to make the image SFW.
Walton Goggins has something to say about his nearly nude photo
Walton Goggins has commented on his nearly nude shoot with GQ magazine. The veteran actor notably saw his notoriety skyrocket after starring in the third installment of the dark comedy anthology series The White Lotus.
When asked about how he’s feeling currently, the actor revealed he’s feeling liberated like never before. Goggins spoke theatrically, “It has been the most blissful, circuitous kind of path. I’ve been torn down to nothing and rebuilding.”
Continuing further, he said, “I feel like I’ve been reborn. I do. I feel like I’ve gone through my mama’s vagina. I’ve gone through the birthing canal. I feel liberated, man. Yeah. I feel unencumbered. I feel light.”
Previously, Goggins headlined another cover story for GQ in February, a little before the premiere of The White Lotus Season 3. The interviewer reminded him of running around Santa Monica in cowboy boots and a yellow Speedo for a shoot. The 54-year-old actor smiled and responded simply, “Vulnerability. Vulnerability. Vulnerability.”
Goggins also discussed letting Rick Hatchett, his character from The White Lotus, out of his system. The actor looked in the mirror and introduced himself to his reflection, “Hello, Walton, nice to meet you”. He confirmed that Hatchett was “gone” from within him.
Elaborating further, he said, “I went over to the bathroom, washed my face, and I looked at myself. I was like, ‘Oh, there you are. Good to meet you. Where do you go from here? What is the next adventure?’”
