Walton Goggins awkwardly shut down an interview after being asked three times about his alleged ‘feud’ with Aimee Lou Wood, it’s been claimed.

The 53-year-old actor played the Sex Education star’s romantic co-star in Mike White’s third season of The White Lotus.

However, despite Rick and Chelsea’s on-screen chemistry in Thailand, the pair seem to have fallen out since filming wrapped.

Eagled-eyed observers spotted how the pair no longer follow each other on Instagram.

Other co-stars also hinted at tangled friendships in a ‘Lord Of The Flies summer camp’.

Now, reports have emerged that Walton dramatically ‘derailed’ an interview after being asked about Aimee.

During a talk with The Times’ Ed Porton, Walton seemed stern when asked about his relationship with the Toxic Town actress, replying: ‘I’m not gonna have that conversation.’

A nearby publicist also added: ‘We’re not going there, thank you.’

After the interviewer pressed Ed about their friendship again and whether Aimee would be present when he hosts Saturday Night Live next week, Walton refused to respond.

After this, his publicist suggested the pair talked about his upcoming movie The Uninvited.

However, after the interviewer’s final attempt to bring up the topic of Aimee, Walton said: ‘There is no conversation to be had about that. Sharing politics on social media – it’s in a vacuum.’

When the interviewer tried again, Walton ‘gasped’, saying: ‘What the f**k, Ed! Come on buddy. Wow,’ which brought the interview to an abrupt end.

Walton’s comments come after American comedy show Saturday Night Live aired a skit of the series, called ‘The White Potus’.

The series’ characters were replaced by depictions of Donald Trump and his inner circle.

But SNL cast member Sarah Sherman impersonated Chelsea by wearing exaggerated prosthetic teeth.

Posting on her Instagram story, Aimee described the sketch as ‘mean and unfunny’. Since then, SNL has apologised.

In later posts, the Sex Education actress said she didn’t mind people making fun of her, ‘but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?’

She added: ‘The whole joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth. The rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.’

Starring Jon Hamm as RFK Jr., he begins to ramble to Aimee’s character Chelsea about various medical plans and fluoride in water before saying he is going to go off and kill a monkey.

But, despite Aimee taking offence at her depiction, Walton found the sketch to be ‘amazing’.

In a now deleted comment on Instagram under SNL’s post, he wrote: ‘Hahahahahhahaha Amazzzingggg.’

He then shared the clip to his Instagram story and wrote the word ‘smashing’.

In addition, he praised Hamm’s parody of Rick by saying: ‘Jon… I knew I was miscast.’
