00:00Walton Goggins is responding to Pete Davidson after the comedian predicted fans will soon turn on the White Lotus star.
00:07Last week, The Hollywood Reporter posted a story on Davidson's comments, which were made on Theo Vaughn's This Past Weekend podcast.
00:14Davidson compared how quickly audiences can embrace an actor, then get tired of them.
00:18He pointed to Pedro Pascal as an example, saying...
00:21Look at Pedro Pascal right now. He's worked so hard and, you know, has been a struggling actor.
00:28He f***ing blows up so f***ing hard. Everyone's like, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, right?
00:35And then a year later, he's like in everything now because he's hot and big and everyone's like, go the f*** away, dude.
00:42The former Saturday Night Live star mentioned Goggins as the next actor who may endure the same kind of treatment, saying...
00:48They're going to do it with Walton Goggins will be next. They'll be like, what the f***?
00:51You know, it's like we build everybody up and now it's so fast. It's like so fast to turn.
00:56Goggins later saw the THR story and shared his thoughts on Instagram, saying...
01:00I saw this article and had to respond. Pete was talking about his own experience.
01:05Pete, we don't know each other, but I appreciate the heads up. We agree on one thing.
01:09Pedro Pascal isn't a good man. He's a great man. A dear friend of mine.
01:13As a 53-year-old, I'm acutely aware that every experience has a shelf life.
01:17I appreciate so many of you going on this journey with me.
01:20I imagine a lot of you, and I don't blame you, are tired of hearing my homilies.
01:24He went on to say,
01:26See to me, being included in this headline isn't a curse. It's a blessing.
01:30How lucky am I that this is even a possibility?
01:33Goggins also reflected on whether Davidson's prediction might come to fruition and how he'd feel about it if it did.
01:38If this headline is a possibility or an inevitability, if this is my fate, well, f*** it.
01:44I'm going to enjoy the f*** out of it.
