The Righteous Gemstones fans might have been under the impression that they saw a lot of Walton Goggins‘ Baby Billy in Season 4’s latest episode. However, the actor has addressed whether or not those were his privates unveiled onscreen.
According to TVLine, Goggins assured the crowd at a screening this month that the 80-year-old penis exposed in Season 4, Episode 2 did not belong to him, explaining, “Let me be very clear – that’s not my penis.”
“My penis looks nothing like that whatsoever,” he added.
However, that doesn’t mean the option wasn’t on the table. While speaking with the outlet directly, Goggins revealed that series creator and star Danny McBride had “offered [him] the option of using [his] own penis” for the scene, though Goggins turned down the proposal.
“We’ve done lot of chaotic things over the course of our 12-year collaboration; I will follow Danny McBride anywhere — except there. That’s one thing I won’t do,” he teased, ultimately claiming he “had no say in the casting of that penis.”
Outside of the latest — and last — installment of the HBO comedy, Goggins is turning heads elsewhere at the network as Rick Hatchett on The White Lotus, where his co-star and on-screen love interest Aimee Lou Wood is aware of the love he’s received off-screen, especially from Fallout fans.
“He was already a heartthrob, of course he is, and I thought he was already, but when Fallout came out and the Ghoul did weird things to people, it got bigger,” Wood told DECIDER. “So whilst we were filming, the heartthrob thing became more and more of a thing. It was actually really fun to be around that time that Fallout came out and this huge reaction to the Ghoul and people being like, ‘How can he still be sexy with no nose?’”
DECIDER’s own Hope Sloop praised Goggins’ performance in her The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 review, noting that he “has steadily been turning out some of the best one-liners on The Righteous Gemstones since 2019, long before his Fallout or Mike White days.”
The first two episodes of The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 and episodes 1-5 of The White Lotus are streaming on Max.
