Walton Goggins Responds to Pete Davidson Predicting Fans Will 'Turn' on Him

Walton Goggins is embracing his popularity despite Pete Davidson predicting that fans will eventually grow tired of him.

Goggins, 53, took to Instagram on Sunday, September 28, to share a Hollywood Reporter article that reported on Davidson, 31, discussing Goggins’ newfound fame. The article, published on Friday, September 26, and reporting on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast interview with Davidson, discussed Pedro Pascal’s meteoric rise before the Saturday Night Live alum threw Goggins’ name out there.

“Look at Pedro Pascal right now. Two years ago, he’s a hardworking, great actor … [then] f***ing blows up so f***ing hard,” Davidson told the outlet. “And then a year later, he’s, like, in everything now … and everyone’s like, ‘Go the f*** away, dude.’ They’re gonna do it with Walton Goggins, [he] will be next.”

Goggins shared a screenshot of the Hollywood Reporter article via Instagram, as well as several photos that captured Goggins’ global travels, in addition to a lengthy caption. “I saw this article and had to respond. (Pete was talking about his own experience),” Goggins wrote. “Pete we don’t know each other but I appreciate the heads up.”

Noting that he agreed with Davidson “on one thing” — how “great” a man Pascal, 50, is — Goggins addressed the fame he’s seen since appearing in recent hit TV series like The White Lotus and The Righteous Gemstones. “As a 53 yr old, I’m acutely aware that every experience has a shelf life. I appreciate so many of you going on this journey with me. I imagine a lot of you (and I don’t blame you) are tired of hearing my homilies. Trust me I’m tired of saying them,” he wrote.

Goggins also encouraged fans to “not” click on “something with my name on it,” but if they did, he would appreciate the support. “Being included in this headline isn’t a curse, it’s a blessing. How lucky am I that this is even a possibility?!!,” he wrote. “Way more than a poor kid from GA would ever have the audacity to imagine. I wouldn’t take one back.”

The actor concluded, “If saying yes in life more than saying no is a crime, then I’m guilty as charged. And If this headline is a possibility or an inevitability … if this is my fate … Well … f*** it. I’m going to enjoy the F*** OUT OF IT.”

Goggins doubled down on his approach to fame in the post’s comments section, simply writing “Love you” and attracting more than 2,500 likes. He also responded to a fan of the TV series Fallout, of which Goggins also appeared in, who said she was “so glad” he appeared in season 1 of the show. “I promise we won’t let you down,” Goggins wrote back to the fan.

His White Lotus season 3 costar Patrick Schwarzenegger also left encouraging words on the post. “Keep going brother ❤️,” Schwarzenegger commented.

As for Pascal, who Goggins described as a “dear friend of mine,” Goggins also wrote in the comments section that he and the Eddington actor will “keep showing up I promise.”
