Tensions reportedly ran high in Thailand as co-stars Goggins and Wood spark feud buzz after unfollowing each other post-wrap.
April 11, 2025– Los Angeles, CA —
Jason Isaacs has added fuel to the fire surrounding The White Lotus Season 3 drama, confirming that there were indeed “arguments” on set during filming in Thailand — just as rumors of a rift between co-stars Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood gain momentum.
Speaking on SiriusXM’s “The Happy Hour” on Wednesday, Isaacs described the set environment as a “pressure cooker.”
“It wasn’t just the actors,” the 61-year-old actor said. “It was actors, crew — all these people in a little pressure cooker together.”
🔥 Friendships, Feuds, and Fractures
Isaacs hinted that tensions were natural given the close quarters and long shoot.
“Like anywhere you go for the summer, there’s friendships, there’s romances, there’s arguments, there’s cliques that form and break and re-form.”
He emphasized that working on White Lotus Season 3 was far from a tropical vacation.

“It felt like work a lot of the time… it was insanely hard, and there’s all the normal social tensions you get anywhere.”
🧩 The Goggins-Wood Fallout?
Though Isaacs did not name names, fans were quick to connect his comments to Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood, who portrayed love interests Rick and Chelsea in the HBO hit. Their on-screen chemistry has not carried over off-screen, it seems.
- After the season finale, fans noticed the actors are no longer following each other on Instagram.
- Some speculate Goggins may have blocked Wood entirely, as her older comments on his posts have vanished.
- Both actors posted tributes to their characters’ romance — but did not tag each other in the finale shout-outs.
🗣️ From Praise to Silence
The shift is stark considering Goggins, 53, once called Wood, 31, “the brightest light in every room” back in August 2024.
Neither Goggins nor Wood — nor their reps — have responded to requests for comment.
🎬 What’s Next for “White Lotus”?
The White Lotus continues to be a cultural juggernaut, with creator Mike White’s satirical vision taking a darker and deeper turn in its third season set in Asia. But as off-screen tensions spill into the spotlight, it remains to be seen how future reunions (or lack thereof) will unfold.
