00:00Walton Goggins has revealed he went to the hospital after being bit by a snake on set
00:04of The White Lotus. When the actor went on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday, he shared that last
00:10week's episode of the HBO show was actually more dangerous than it looked. Goggins revealed all
00:16the snakes used in the show were real and that he's very scared of snakes. I don't just have a
00:21phobia, you know, it's like a missing link when it comes to snakes. Oh, you do? I am terrified
00:28of snakes. During last week's episode, Goggins' character Rick gets high and starts freeing
00:33snakes from their cages at a snake farm. It turns out one snake bites his girlfriend Chelsea,
00:38played by Amy Lou Wood, who is then rushed off to the hospital. But in real life, the opposite
00:43actually happened. And as I was pulling the snake out, he didn't want to come, right? And so the
00:50snake turns around and he bit me. Oh no! Goggins admitted he hadn't told anyone this story before.
00:57I wish I could have been cool. You know, like I fancy myself a pretty cool guy, like,
01:01hey, yeah, I got a snake bite, you know? This was my reaction, I swear to God. It was like,
01:05oh my God, I've been bit by a snake!
01:08After that happened, the Fallout star continued to film for the rest of the day.
01:12Then the next day, he got a phone call.
01:14I get a phone call from the producer saying, hey, you know what, we've been thinking about
01:17it and, uh, I don't know, I'm thinking maybe you should go to the hospital.
01:21I said, for what? You said the snake was, like, non-venomous, right? Am I dying like a slow
01:28death? It's like, is there something you know I don't know?
01:30Goggins ended up receiving a shot as a precaution. New episodes of The White Lotus premiere on Sundays
01:35at 9 p.m. For more on this story and all the latest TV news, head to THR.com. This is
