Walton Goggins is a guest playing a guest in “ The White Lotus ” Season 3...
but that didn’t mean production footed his whole bill. The Emmy-nominated actor said during “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in the below video that filming the third season of the hit HBO series cost him a surprising amount of money. “You get to stay at a five-star [hotel],” Goggins said, citing the Thailand-based Four Seasons where the show was filmed, “but what they don’t tell you when you when you check in to the White Lotus is how expensive it is to check out of the White Lotus.
” Case in point: Goggins’ room service bill. The “Fallout” star said that while him and his co-stars — including Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Leslie Bibb, and Michelle Monaghan — didn’t have to pay for their hotel rooms, the actors were responsible for their personal incidental charges. “I swear this is a true story — not just for me but for everybody — six weeks into it, I go to pay my bill.
I looked at my bill and I started laughing,” Goggins said. “Literally, [a hotel staffer] handed me the bill and I started laughing like, ‘Ha, yeah right! You guys are joking.'” He added as an example of his bewilderment, “You’re telling me Thai spiced cashews cost that much money? I thought I had maybe, like, five.
And they said, ‘No, you had 30.'” Goggins did admit, though, that filming the highly-anticipated series was a “really good time,” regardless of the extra costs in.
