As production continues on The White Lotus Season 3, new cast member Walton Goggins (Fallout) opened up about what it was like filming the next installment to HBO’s acclaimed comedy series.
During a recent interview with Los Angeles Times, Goggins admitted that shooting The White Lotus Season 3 in Thailand has somewhat turned into a healing journey for him. He revealed that he feels a personal connection with the country, after previously visiting it during an existential crisis nearly two decades ago.
“It’s all very meta on every level,” Goggins said. “We’re guests checking into a hotel playing guests checking into a hotel. We spend all this time together, whether we like it or not, eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. We work where we stay.”
He added, “I went to a lot of the places where we’re filming now, the same streets and sandy beaches. I have come so far in my life and been healed on a number of levels. I am so grateful for this moment and the path I’ve been walking.”
