  1. > “How lucky am I that this is even a possibility?!! I’ve had the good fortune of engaging in so many interesting conversations with so many of you….of collaborating with so many top-shelf people across so many disciplines over the last couple of years,” he wrote. “Way more than a poor kid from GA would ever have the audacity to imagine. I wouldn’t take one back. So…If saying yes in life more than saying no is a crime, then I’m guilty as charged.”

    > In his iconic laissez-faire attitude, Goggins ended his post with, “And If this headline is a possibility or an inevitability… if this is my fate…Well… F— it. I’m going to enjoy the F— OUT OF IT.”

  2. I’ve already turned on him for those god-awful Wal Mart ads.

  4. I’d be doing the same as him and Pedro Pascal if I was in my 50s and had been working for around 30 years and finally started getting recognition and better jobs with better filmmakers and better paychecks. These few years are when I set myself and my family up for life.

  5. Goggins isn’t taking money from shady sources, Pete.

    Maybe focus on your own shitty behavior.

  6. That’s how I see it. Take someone like Shaq. He’s still in the most random sponsor commercials, still just doing wacky shit and he can legit just sit on his ass the rest of his life and be more than good.

    Take it and run with it I say lol it’s gotta be fun doing the shit they do and they get paid for it. Do it for as long as you can if you’re fortunate enough to have a fun job.

  7. See the thing about Goggins and Pascal is that they’re really, really fucking good at their jobs. You don’t call that oversaturation, you call it box office draw

  8. I wish Goggins did every fuckin commercial, if I have to hear em, and society has dictated I must. I’d rather hear him talking to me then the drone voices

  9. I mean he laughed about going to saudi arabia considering the conflict between 9/11 and petes dad being one of the first killed. 

    I dont think its a good look for anyone who went there. 

  13. Walton didn’t take money from a country that was responsible for killing a family member so at least he’s got that going for him.

  14. Pete Davidson hilariously thinks he and Pedro Pascal are on the same level as far as fame goes lmao

    Pedro is a movie star, Pete at his peak fame was a b-list celebrity who was known for two things: SNL and dating Kim K

    And nobody turned on Pedro Pascal, that’s a brain rot internet thing, he’s still a wildly popular actor just like Walt Goggins. Pete’s problem is he like many people think the internet is real life but it’s a poor sample size of reality

  16. It’s insane that I watch random ass movies and he somehow pops up. Bourne film? He’s random agent in background. Baby Billy is a god send. Dudes in so much stuff it’s hard to not like him.

  17. He’s an incredible actor. He’ll always have my support. Pedro as well

  18. Pete Davidson and Pedro Pascal (the example used in the warning to Goggins in the article) seem like different cases to me. Pascal is overexposure, which is a hard thing to avoid or do anything about since it all boils down to is “you’re so good in so many things that people are now sick of you everywhere.” What’s a hot actor supposed to do, NOT take all the huge and lucrative projects they’re offered?

    Davidson has always had an obnoxious persona though, so he runs an additional risk by playing the unlikeable person in every project both on and off screen. His comic style also ends up putting him into a lot of dramas with other people. If you read a headline with “Pete Davidson” at the start you know the end is going to be some dramatic BS. Meanwhile with Pascal and other famously nice actor Keanu Reeves they’re more likely to be doing some charitable deed or defending another, less famous marginalized actor from abuse or something.

  19. Did Pete Davidson even come close to achieving Pedro’s and Walton’s level of saturation?

  20. Yeah, Walt doesn’t act like Pete(mostly in the past). Doubt he’ll suffer the same fate as Peter.

  21. Peter Davidson predicting someone else’s downfall while taking Saudi blood money is certainly a fucking choice.

  24. See the difference between Goggins and Pedro vs. Pete is that the former have actual talent and aren’t douchebags.

  25. People have been saying over exposure for Goggins for a long time. I remember when a sub on here was talking about “not” watching whatever season of Justified it was because they were tired of Boyd Crowder.

    I enjoy him, but I do think he’s a flavor that might not be for everyone all the time.

  26. Predicting the turn coming close to his performance in Saudi Arabia he might be on to something

  27. Pete Davidson?

    The guy whose dad died in 9/11, and is now performing in the Riyadh Comedy Festival?

    That Pete Davidson?

  28. So strange to just randomly say that about other celebrities, and certainly doesn’t help him as far as being a likeable person (referencing Pete Davidson). I’ll say though, I don’t know that Pete Davidson ever really had a fanbase outside women that thought he was hot when he first started getting big/dating Kim Kardashian. I don’t remember people really saying they liked him as an actor or a person.

    Walton Goggins replied to someone saying some pretty rude stuff about him with extreme class, which is why he’s likeable. Pete Davidson always seemed like someone who hated his critics and just kind of cared about himself. People really didn’t build him up and turn on him, he got big with one crowd briefly, and his critics got louder. Then his crowd moved on and his critics stayed loud, and he proved them all right, so people joined their side

  29. Idk if Walton will take money from the same government that killed his dad in a terrorist attack

  30. Been an a fan since he was in the apostle I don’t know the guy has a very likeable quality. His only misstep I can recall was that unicorn sitcom he did.

  31. Pete Davidson is the guy twerking for dollar bills from his father’s killers right?

  32. Why does Pete try and apply his career to others? Dude has like no talent, just goes on SNL and laughs in every scene, and what since then? I’ve never seen this dude in a real movie, not even a real comedy. I’ve never liked Pete, not sure why he thinks him and Walton have nearly anything in common 

  33. We already did when he was doing the Taco Bell commercials and fucking Kim, which the media wouldn’t shut up about it.

  34. Good for him. I loved his acting since his Justified and SOA days. Man has ranged. Hollywood is so fickle you can be the IT person for a while then gone. Why not capitalize on it. Plus celebrities do commercials all the time. I’m sure it’s allot of money if a few hours of work. I would do it.

  35. I already have tbh. Shilling for wal-mart? Some lame, Sydney Sweeney-ass shit dude

  36. Who cares Pete Davidson has to say? Dude is an idiot and not really funny

  37. Pete Davidson, the guy getting paid by Saudi Arabia to perform at their comedy festival?? That guy? Talk about a sellout.

  39. After his performance in The Shield, I will never hate Walton Goggins.

  41. Pete Davidson was projecting because he is doing the Saudi comedy festival. And he’s worried about himself.

  43. i’m not a big walton goggins guy, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend. pete has always been hack and he’s been running out of youth cred. preemptively complaining about the downfall he can see coming changes nothing. cry into your money and go do stand up in saudi arabia, b1tcha$$

  44. Is everyone in this thread stupid? Why is everyone assuming that Pete meant this in a negative manner. Even in his original statement about pedro pascal he was talking about how fickle fans are for turning on such a great guy and how you could work for 30 years, finally start getting amazing opportunities and after a couple of years they’re done with you and want you to go away.

  45. Fun fact: Walton and Lil Nas X graduated from the same high school

  46. The difference is Goggins has been in the game for a LONG time, and has been steadily and steadily and steadily growing his portfolio and his career … and has either been very selective about his projects, or is a good enough actor to elevate every project he’s been in as of late. So the likelihood of fans turning on Goggins would be nearly impossible unless he’s the next Spacey.

    And then there’s Pete Davidson. Who has come up more quickly, but has always had … like … kind of an air about him. And seems to take on every single role he can for a paycheck.

  47. I’m not a big Pete Davidson guy, but he wasn’t hating on Goggins. He was throwing respect to Goggins and Pascal, saying they’re badass and great actors who deserve the fame and recognition. He went on to say how it’s weird that fans will build up love and adoration for someone on their rise up, but, once they’ve “made it”, the fans start to hate on that person. It wasn’t some negative, jealous prediction Pete was wishing upon Goggins. It was an observation on how weird fans are.
