Walton Goggins Answers the Righteous Gemstones Nude Scene Question on Everybody’s Mind: ‘That’s Not My Penis’

Walton Goggins is addressing that nude scene in the March 16 episode of The Righteous Gemstones.

When Baby Billy’s 80-year-old penis took center stage, fans were shocked when they saw Goggin’s character drop his trousers to reveal his most intimate places. But in a screening of the episode earlier this month, The White Lotus actor, 53, set the record straight.

“Let me be very clear – that’s not my penis,” he said, per TVLine. “My penis looks nothing like that whatsoever.”

Goggins later told the outlet that the HBO series creator and series lead, Danny McBride, actually “offered me the option of using my own penis” but decided against baring it all for the camera.

“We’ve done a 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 said.

Though McBride gave him the option to go full-frontal for the scene, Goggins revealed that he had “no say” in the casting of the penis that would be CGI’d over his midsection.

Goggins’ latest comments on onscreen nudity come shortly after his White Lotus costar, Jason Issacs’ went viral for his full-frontal moment on the Mike White-led anthology series.

Sam Nivola and Sarah Catherine Hook, who play Issacs’ onscreen children, told TV Insider that the actor used a prosthetic for the shot.

“It was really funny. He was very excited to do it. I think he took pride in the prosthetic. He gave that guy a nice shot,” Hook said while Nivola added, “He’s like, ‘It’s my fake d— scene today!’”

In a subsequent appearance on CBS Mornings, Issacs addressed the hubbub surrounding his nude scene and admitted that he was sick of getting asked whether or not he was wearing a prosthetic.

“A lot of people are debating it. It’s all over the internet,” he explained. “And it’s interesting because the best actress this year is Mikey Madison at the Oscars. And I don’t see anybody discussing her vulva, which was on [the screen] all the time.”

“It’s interesting that there’s a double standard for men,” he continued, adding that he was dodging the question surrounding the prosthetic because he didn’t think people wanted to know “how the sausage is made.”

“Genuinely, I think it would be odd when there are characters — and some of the women are naked in here — it’d be odd if you were sitting here. And you would never dream of discussing their genitalia, not for a second,” Issacs said. “Mike White is a brilliant writer; it’s the best series on television for a long time. And what is the obsession with penises? It’s an odd thing.”

The White Lotus airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO, and The Righteous Gemstones airs thereafter at 10:00 p.m. on HBO.
