Walton Goggins explains why he unfollowed Aimee Lou Wood on Instagram
Walton Goggins addressed rumors of a feud with his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood, explaining that he unfollowed her on Instagram to seek closure after filming the emotionally taxing show.
Goggins compared his need for distance to his departure from Justified, stating he often needs time alone after intense roles to process the experience.
He revealed that filming The White Lotus in Thailand was particularly difficult due to personal memories of traveling there after his first wife's death, and Wood was supportive of his need for space.
Goggins refuted claims of a feud with Wood, expressing his adoration and respect for her talent, and he re-followed her on Instagram during the interview.
Goggins also addressed a controversial interview with The Times, where he felt a reporter insinuated a feud with Wood and asked an offensive question, leading him to end the interview abruptly.

Knock Out – Season 1 Episode 7 Recap & Review
Episode 7 Knock Out Episode 7 brings us to set up activity for the match – Hero Fight is nearly here. As the camera operators take a final break, Thun finds Keen alone in the room and can't resist a few kisses. Until Phuwish shows up, apologizing for interrupting as most of the rooms are soundproof. But he can't help a quick leer at Keen after Thun exits to get ready. As the announcer sets up a new era of Muay Thai, the Hero Fight. In alternating scenes, neither Bung nor Ait seem to be winning their matches. As Ait gets up, Win tells him he loves him. While Bung hears cheering from audience member, Klao. Both invigorated, Ait and Bung each claim a turnaround knockout. READ MORE: Thai and BL drama reviews In the control room, Keen gets an unlucky papercut as the camera switches to the promo for the main fight. While, backstage, Phuwish slyly mentions Keen to Thun, catching him off-guard. Back to the winning matches and the crowd cheers for both Bung and Ait. As Ait steps out of the ring, he receives an urgent call and walks away to take it. Meanwhile, Klao speaks to a police officer friend who's recently been suspended. She notes a case where money lender Muay was mauled to death by a large dog. What? In the dressing room, Coach Petch tells Thun he can definitely take Yut. Then, 'Lord of the Martial World,' Yut, enters to cheers as does 'The Heartless Left Hook,' Tiger Taming Cannon. And Hero Fight is ready to rock. As the guys square up in the middle, Round One begins. In the box, Keen holds his couple necklace, tensing as the fight begins. Petch immediately notices that Thun looks off, wondering what's wrong. The audience too, wonders if the Cannon can make it. A couple more hits and Thun is thrown to the ropes, looking discombobulated. With blurred vision, he takes his stance but falls to the floor before he can complete the punch. As he's counted out, the team shouts his name but Thun doesn't even open his eyes. He's eventually removed via stretcher only a few minutes after the fight had begun. What happened to the Cannon? The crowd wonders if he was possibly drugged and even Phuwish looks worried. In the locker room, Petch finds that someone has tampered with Thun's water bottle. While the audience complains about an event where a champ can be tainted, the news speculates whether he was given a diuretic. In the hospital, Keen waits for Thun to wake up. Phuwish calls to say the police are looking into it while Keen confirms his team checked every water bottle. Petch joins Keen at his vigil, saying he's unfortunately seen things like this before. As Petch heads back to the gym, Keen stays the night to look after Thun, full of remorse for not preventing the attack. The next morning, Thun rises to find a sleeping Keen at his side. When he wakes, Thun stops Keen from apologizing, assuring him that he's fine. On the news, speculation spreads that rival promoter Pakorn drugged the Cannon to discredit Phuwish. They're also saying the failed fight could end things for the budding Petchsak promoter. At the gym, Win waits for Ait, wondering if he made him uncomfortable with his ring-side confession but holds off texting him about it. Watching news updates at the hospital, Yut talks of their disappointment but commends promoter Keen for revitalizing the sport. As Keen cuddles Thun we don't get to hear the response of whether Yut will fight again. Giving a news update outside, noting returning some money to the audience, an angry viewer throws red paint on Phuwish, cursing him for cheating. Keen and Thun catch the clip, worriedly watching Phuwish apologize. Elsewhere, Klao follows up on a report of a dead Muay found in the woods near the market. She notices tire tracks and blood stains as they talk of the incredulity of being killed by a dog. Klao sweeps away the leaves to find a clue, taking photos and bagging the evidence. She checks videos and finds a similar symbol on Pakorn's jacket. At the hospital elevator, Keen apologizes to Phuwish but their backer is there to check on Thun, assuring Keen it's ok. They head upstairs just as Pakorn visits Thun. Klao calls Keen but he's already in the elevator and can barely understand as she suggests both Muay and Keen's father may have been murdered. Keen opens the door to Thun's room to find him fighting with Pakorn – his father – just as Klao proposes that the murderer of Keen's father may be Pakorn. The Episode Review Well, there's an 'I am your father' moment. Keen couldn't have looked more shocked than Skywalker himself. And to think his love has been keeping this little droplet of information to himself the whole time. Did anyone guess? I sure didn't. This also puts a new light on who tampered with the water bottle. I'm not sure Yut would bother, especially since he already took the Hulk drug – would he need Thun to be off balance? Wouldn't he prefer a chance to beat him in front of Keen? Win off his own (ish) merit? Maybe Ait's secret employer forced him to do it – but somehow I was thinking perhaps Pakorn was the one controlling Ait. Would he want his own son to take a dive? Maybe he'd be happy to see Keen and Petch fail, which is exactly what happened. Hhhmm. How 'bout you all? Whatcha' thinking? I'd love to hear your theories. I don't think Win would ruin his father's reputation even if he is a little jealous of Keen. With Muay dead, it's not her, so who else is left? Is anyone watching Knock Out with me? I'd love to hear your take. Drop-kick those ponderings into the comments below.

Danny Boyle: Slumdog Millionaire was cultural appropriation
Danny Boyle has said his hit film Slumdog Millionaire was cultural appropriation. The British director, who also made the films Trainspotting and 127 Hours, said that he was proud of Slumdog Millionaire, but that 'you wouldn't even contemplate doing something like that today'. The 2008 Oscar-winning movie, which Boyle directed, follows the story of a boy from the slums of Mumbai who is one question away from winning the Hindi version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, before being arrested on suspicion of cheating. It was shot in Mumbai, partly in Hindi, and used a local crew, but the award-winning director said he couldn't make it today. He would instead be 'looking for a young Indian filmmaker' to direct the picture, because his directing of the film was 'cultural appropriation'. He told The Guardian on his press tour for the horror film 28 Years Later: 'That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times, but at other times it cannot be. It wouldn't even get financed. 'We wouldn't be able to make that now. And that's how it should be. It's time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world.' He said it was a 'flawed method' because it was filmed by 'outsiders'. 'At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. 'We'd work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you're still an outsider. It's still a flawed method. Even if I was involved, I'd be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it.' The film premiered at the 2008 Telluride Film Festival and won eight Oscars at the 2009 Academy Awards, including those for best picture and best director, as well as several BAFTA awards and Golden Globes. It was also a box office hit, making $378 million worldwide on a reported $15 million budget. Speaking about his directorial choices in the interview, Boyle explained: 'I value the popular audience. I believe in popular entertainment. 'I want to push the boat out, but take the popular audience with me.' Elsewhere, he discussed his direction of Isles of Wonder, the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics that featured Daniel Craig as James Bond and the late Queen Elizabeth II. The film, which was a celebration of British culture, also featured the National Health Service, Shakespeare, the Sex Pistols and Windrush migrants. However, Boyle said his 'biggest regret' was not featuring the BBC in it more, saying if he were to do it again he would 'big up' the 'precious' national broadcaster. He said: 'My biggest regret was that we didn't feature the BBC more. I was stopped from doing it because it was the host broadcaster. 'Every other objection, I told them to go f--- themselves. But that one I accepted and I regret that now, especially given the way that technology is moving. 'The idea that we have a broadcaster that is part of our national identity, but is also trusted around the world and that can't be bought, can't be subsumed into Meta or whatever, feels really precious. 'So yeah, if I was doing it again I'd big up the BBC big time. Everything else I'd do exactly the same.'

Clarkson's Farm star worried about being 'out of a job' after major decision
Jeremy Clarkson has admitted a major decision he made about the future of Clarkson's Farm has left a key member of staff worried they're 'out of a job'. The former Top Gear presenter, 65, has been leading the Amazon Prime Video farming series ever since its debut in 2021 – running for four seasons now. Clarkson's Farm focuses on daily events at the TV host's Diddly Squat farm in the Cotswolds, giving an inside view into the state of farming in modern Britain. One of the TV show's rising stars, Kaleb Cooper, was already working on the Chipping Norton farm before Jeremy took over, and has stayed on ever since. However, Jeremy's decision to invest in a driverless tractor has left the 26-year-old farm hand worried that he'll be 'out of a job' in the near future. Explaining his choice, the former BBC host said that leaving the tractor to get on with drilling and rolling the fields will give him and Kaleb more time to do other jobs. In The Times, he said: 'It normally takes 20 hours with a three-metre cultivator to prepare the 200 acres we use every year for growing pasta and lager. 'And then it takes about 10 hours to plant the actual seeds. That's 30 hours of me just sitting there, in a bouncy tractor, going up and down endlessly. 'I miss bits. I cock up turns and corners. An autonomous tractor would not make mistakes like this and it would not get bored. It doesn't need to stop for a wee and it does not need to sleep. He continued: 'Kaleb hates it. He says it'll put him out of a job. [But] I've pointed out – he could turn up at someone's farm, set it off, and then go to someone else's farm with his normal tractor and get paid twice.' It's natural for Kaleb to be worried considering the Clarkson's Farm series has seen him go from earning 50p an hour on some days, due to the unpredictable nature of farming, to becoming a millionaire. In 2022, he revealed: 'I was working for myself. It's like a little bit of a new business idea that I'm doing, buying calves in and then feed them on milk, which costs me about £200 a calf, then selling them at nine months. 'I'm trying to get a profit and see if it will work. I worked it out the other day, do you know how much my hourly rate is, how much I pay myself? 50p an hour.' However, Kaleb quickly got to work turning his screen time into more cash in his bank, first releasing a book titled The World According to Kaleb, which sold 150,000 copies. More Trending Two more books followed – Britain According to Kaleb: The Wonderful World of Country Life and Life According to Kaleb – before a UK tour got under way. His tactics were clearly working in 2024, as his company Kaleb Cooper Productions Ltd's 2024 annual filing hit £908,860 in cash and assets. That was an an increase of £242,000 from the previous year. His second firm Kaleb Cooper Holdings Ltd also has more than £46,000. View More » Watch Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime Video. Got a story?
