Walton Goggins ignored the rumors that he and “White Lotus” co-star Aimee Lou Wood are feuding while hosting “Saturday Night Live.”

Throughout his appearances on the sketch comedy show, the “Vice Principals” alum made no mention of Wood.

He did, however, mention the hit HBO series on which they both appear.

“Most of you probably know me from ‘The White Lotus.’ No spoilers, but I die,” he quipped.

Goggins then talked about how the internet seemed to find his “brooding” character “attractive.”

“Some of my friends have even asked me, ‘What does it feel like to become a sex symbol at 53 years old?’ And you know what, if I’m being honest, it feels fantastic,” he shared.

“At least it did, until I Googled myself and read some of the headlines,” he continued before pointing to news articles that mentioned his “bulging” eyes and “receding hairline.”

Feud rumors between Goggins, 53, and Wood, 31, surfaced in April after fans noticed that the co-stars weren’t following each other on Instagram.

Some were even convinced that the pair, who played love interests on the hit show, had blocked each other

Their fellow co-star, Jason Isaacs, further fueled rumors of a falling out when he admitted, without naming names, that there were arguments on the Thailand set of the series.

“People have to remember it was the actors and the crew and [inaudible] — all these people are in a little pressure cooker together,” he said on SiriusXM show “The Happy Hour” April 9.

He added, “And like anywhere you go for the summer, there’s friendships, there’s romances, there’s arguments, there’s cliques that form and break and re-form and stuff like that.”

Earlier this month, Goggins shut down a reporter after being asked about the alleged feud in an interview with the London Times.

“What the f–k, Ed! Come on, buddy. Wow,” he replied, abruptly bringing the interview to an end.

Goggins and Wood avoided each other on the red carpet while both attending the 2025 Met Gala this past Monday.

However, Wood squashed the rumors when she told reporters at the gala that she “loved working” with Goggins.

“It was the best thing ever,” she told “Entertainment Tonight” before expressing her excitement for his upcoming “SNL” appearance.

“He’s going to be incredible doing ‘SNL,’” she said. “It’s the perfect thing for him to do. It’s going to be hilarious. I’m so excited to see it.”

Wood’s kind words for the show came shortly after she slammed “SNL” for mocking her teeth in a bit based on “The White Lotus” last month.

Goggins, for his part, praised the spoof in a since-deleted post.
