“My character in White Lotus is pretty brooding, which the internet seemed to find attractive,” he said. “Some of my friends have even asked me, ‘Walton, what’s it like to become a sex symbol at 53 years old?’ And you know what, if I’m being honest, it feels fantastic.”
Walton then decided to show some of the headlines about himself, including a Cosmopolitan article that read, “Are We All Horny for Walton Goggins’s Receding Hairline?” He joked, “I’ve had the same hairline since I was seven. It’s not receding, it’s holding its ground.”
