00:00Walton Goggins has revealed he went to the hospital after being bit by a snake on set of The White
00:04Lotus. When the actor went on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday, he shared that last week's episode
00:11of the HBO show was actually more dangerous than it looked. Goggins revealed all the snakes used
00:16in the show were real, and that he's very scared of snakes. I don't just have a phobia, you know,
00:22it's like a missing link when it comes to snakes. Oh you do? I am terrified of snakes.
00:29During last week's episode, Goggins' character Rick gets high and starts freeing snakes from
00:34their cages at a snake farm. It turns out one snake bites his girlfriend Chelsea, played by
00:38Amy Lou Wood, who is then rushed off to the hospital. But in real life, the opposite actually
00:43happened. And as I was pulling the snake out, he didn't want to come, right? And so the snake
00:50turns around and he bit me. Oh no! Goggins admitted he hadn't told anyone this story before.
00:57I wish I could have been cool, you know, like I fancy myself a pretty cool guy, like,
01:01hey, yeah, I got a snake bite, you know? This was my reaction, I swear to God. It was like,
01:05oh my God, I've been bit by a snake! After that happened, the Fallout star continued to
01:10film for the rest of the day. Then the next day, he got a phone call. I get a phone call from the
01:15producer saying, hey, you know what, we've been thinking about it and I don't know, I'm thinking
01:19maybe you should go to the hospital. I said, for what? You said the snake was like non-venomous,
01:26am I dying like a slow death? It's like, is there something you know I don't know?
01:30Goggins ended up receiving a shot as a precaution.
01:33New episodes of The White Lotus premiere on Sundays at 9 p.m.
