00:00What's up, GQ? I'm Walton Goggins, and today I'm going undercover on the internet.
00:07It is actually me. No, it's me. It's actually me. I can't really see anything with these glasses on,
00:18so I'm going to take these off. I'm going to be kind of undercover. Okay, YouTube.
00:24I really wanted to hear him talk about his role in Sons of Anarchy. I loved his role in that.
00:30Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, Venus Van Damme means everything in the world to me.
00:35She's my lady. Next. Wait, Walton Goggins killed Lem? I thought it was Shane.
00:42That is next-level method acting. Thank you. Posted. This is how I imagine Walton Goggins in real life.
00:51Drinking alcohol around six friends. The answer is absolutely. I'll be doing that in an hour from now.
01:00Love Walton's character name in this. Is he going to be it in the movie? Are they making a movie?
01:06Did I miss something? I don't know. We'll see.
01:09Replied. Oh, that's my mama.
01:14Heartthrob status through the roof after the mom dance.
01:18You know what? She's the love of my life. Thank you.
01:23I love a lot of things, but nothing more than I love my mom.
01:28Next question.
01:29Fill in the brink. Steven Tyler plus question mark equals Walton Goggins.
01:34A quarter horse.
01:37I'm serious.
01:39Posted.
01:40Posted.
01:41Ooh, this is my man Danny McBride.
01:44Okay, that's a collection of some of the funniest lines ever said in front of a camera.
01:49I need the outtakes.
01:50I wish I could see the outtakes too.
01:52I had more fun on that than maybe anything I've ever done in my career.
01:57There was one scene.
01:59I just had one line and I said that line and Danny couldn't stop laughing for 25 minutes.
02:08It took us 25 minutes to say one line because every time I said it, he would laugh or I would laugh.
02:17I can't tell you what the line is, but yeah, it's funny.
02:22Reddit.
02:23Reddit.
02:24Walton Goggins was apparently miserable during filming.
02:28Yes, I was miserable because I was in so much pain.
02:32Rick Hatchett was looking for revenge the moment that he got there.
02:36So the experience wasn't miserable, but being in Rick Hatchett's head for so long was miserable.
02:42But now I'm out of it and life is so good.
02:46Replied.
02:47Walton Goggins has a receding hairline, but it hasn't receded any further in like 10 years.
02:52What's up with that?
02:53Next question.
02:55Characters that could be played by Walton Goggins.
02:58I have to put my glasses on.
03:00Number one, Trevor from Grand Theft Auto.
03:03Yeah, I look a little bit like him.
03:05That's so depressing.
03:06Number two, Bill Williamson.
03:09Why not?
03:10Number three, Rorschach.
03:12Why not?
03:13Number four, Joker.
03:15That's my middle name.
03:16Number five, Freddy Krueger.
03:19Number six, The Mask.
03:24I don't know, man.
03:25I think Jim Carrey does it better than anybody.
03:28Posted.
03:28Walton Goggins' Ghoul Transformation.
03:30See, the thing about continuity, I put the glasses on and I take them off.
03:35So sometimes you're going to see them on, sometimes they'll be off, depending on the size of the font.
03:40Walton Goggins' Ghoul Transformation.
03:42It took five hours to apply.
03:44I just read it in an article.
03:45Holy damn, that is insane.
03:47Curious how many days he had to play the character and be in the makeup.
03:50Great question.
03:51You know, the truth is, the very first time we did it, it took five hours.
03:56But we got it down to two hours and 15 minutes.
03:59It's a lot, man, because that's just the beginning of the day.
04:02And then I'm in the makeup for like 12 to 14 hours.
04:05But I've only ever done it three days in one week, except for season two.
04:10So there was a week where I had to do it every single day.
04:14And I thought I had to see a shrink on the weekend.
04:17Literally.
04:19Wikipedia.
04:22Goggins moved to Los Angeles at 19, worked at LA Fitness and a valet parking business,
04:27while taking acting classes and auditioning.
04:30True.
04:31Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.
04:33I worked at LA Fitness.
04:34I made $4.50 an hour.
04:37The year was 1991.
04:39Man, today I would have been making $15 an hour in the state of California.
04:43Who am I?
04:44But the rents back then were $500.
04:48And I split that room with three people.
04:51I had a twin mattress and this Orchard Supply bookcase that I built myself.
04:57I mean, it wasn't hard.
04:59I just needed like a screwdriver.
05:00It took me five minutes to do it.
05:02Posted.
05:04Goggins lost his front teeth in a childhood baseball accident when a ball was mistakenly
05:09thrown at him.
05:10No, it wasn't thrown.
05:12It was hit by a bat.
05:13But I showed up late to practice and the coach said,
05:17Okay, Walton, go to center field because you're late to practice.
05:20I'm like, it's not my fault.
05:22That was my mom's fault.
05:23I took off running to center field.
05:25And the only thing that I heard before my life changed was,
05:29Walton!
05:30I turned around and the baseball hit me right in the mouth.
05:37And it knocked out my two front teeth.
05:39It was extremely traumatic, but hey, at least I caught the ball.
05:45How do I pronounce this word?
05:47Cora.
05:47Cora.
05:48Cora.
05:48Why does Mike White love Walton Goggins so much?
05:53Wow.
05:54Uh, is this like a criticism?
05:57Um, because I paid him my entire salary for the White Lotus season three.
06:01No, uh, you know, I think that Mike and I connect on a number of levels.
06:05And one of the most important is travel.
06:09There was one day we were sitting there talking and he said,
06:11I don't know that I could work in California again because I love my life on the road.
06:18And I quite agree with him.
06:20So that's why he likes me so much.
06:23Does Walton Goggins have a signature smile?
06:26I don't know.
06:27You tell me.
06:29I'm extremely insecure about my smile because my two front teeth were knocked out in the fifth grade.
06:36And I couldn't get them replanted.
06:39And so I had to wear a retainer, you know, all through high school for like seven or eight years.
06:45I even came to California with a retainer.
06:47So I had to save up my own money to get the bridge that I needed.
06:51There was a dentist in Burbank and he did it.
06:55And about five years into it, I actually was crossing the street on Sunset Boulevard and I hit a sign.
07:01I turned, I hit the sign, I went straight down, I had a huge, I was bleeding, I don't remember what happened.
07:09And the only thing that I felt was I busted my teeth again.
07:14I did it again.
07:15And then I went back to Dr. Albus and he put me on a payment plan again.
07:20Next.
07:22What is the best way to describe Walton Goggins' personal style philosophy?
07:25I like to dress as if I just got off a boat or out of a convertible or off a biplane.
07:34And I walk into a room always pretending like I have somewhere else to go.
07:42That truly is my personal style.
07:45But I don't have a boat, I don't have a convertible, and I don't have a biplane.
07:49How am I doing?
07:51TikTok.
07:52I almost said, how do I pronounce this word?
07:54Mark Ellis, can we get a googly version of Walton Goggins' goggle glasses?
08:03Maybe even call them the Walton Goggins' goggle-y goggle glasses, maybe even in gold.
08:08Mark, it's a great question, but I don't think you're very good at naming things.
08:13If I do make some new goggle glasses, which I will, I would probably go with the moniker
08:17Walton Goggins' gold goggle glasses.
08:22How about that?
08:22W.G.G.G.G.
08:27Replied.
08:28Grouchy Ron, where's the Baby Billy spinoff?
08:32Ask Danny McBride.
08:35Posted.
08:37There's something permanently sunburnt, but beautiful about him.
08:41I agree.
08:44X.
08:47Mind blown.
08:49Who knew Walton Goggins was a three-time state-clogging champion?
08:52From obliterating dance floors to embodying Baby Billy.
08:55Talk about range.
08:57Ever seen talent defy expectations like this?
09:00Is that a compliment?
09:01Talent defy expectations?
09:03What did you expect?
09:04No, you know what, this is very, very, very kind, and I'm not a three-time state-clogging champion, but I've been clogging my whole life with my mom, and she's a great dancer, and she taught me how to dance, and the fact that, you know, Baby Billy clogs is because I clogged, and Danny liked that so much.
09:22And so we did it, and being Baby Billy and clogging it on the stage has been one of the greatest thrills of my life.
09:30Instagram!
09:31Instagram!
09:32God, that sounded stupid.
09:36I need more glasses for this smaller print.
09:40I bet that feels like taking your bra off after a long, humid day.
09:44Hmm.
09:46Hmm.
09:47You know, as a matter of fact, it does.
09:49And you know why I know that?
09:51Because of this character that I played named Venus Van Damme.
09:54It's exactly the same.
09:55Amazing.
09:57Amazing.
09:58I'd love to raise adventurers.
10:00Any advice for traveling abroad with younger kids?
10:03There is no kid too small or too young to expose them to the world.
10:10I've been taking my son on the road since he was two years old, and it culminated in this moment together alone in the middle of Mongolia with five people, two horsemen, an eagle hunter,
10:25an interpreter, and a cook.
10:27And what he learned from meeting these people and becoming friends with these people is more than I could ever teach him on my own.
10:38It takes a village.
10:39So get out there and go see a village.
10:44Okay, that's it for me.
10:46This is Walton Goggins, and I am signing off of the internet.
