Walton Goggins\u2019 fame reached an even higher plane following his appearance in season 3 of \u201cThe White Lotus.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

But with that comes the potential for more backlash. <\/p>\n

Comedian Pete Davidson<\/a>, who knows a thing or two about the highs and lows of fame, issued a warning of sorts to Goggins as he\u2019s riding a popularity high. <\/p>\n

\u201cLook at Pedro Pascal right now. Two years ago, he\u2019s a hardworking, great actor… Everyone was like, he\u2019s worked so hard and has been a struggling actor,\u201d Davidson said last week during an appearance on Theo Von\u2019s podcast,<\/a> adding that then Pascal \u201cfucking blows up so fucking hard.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then a year later, he\u2019s in everything now,\u201d Davidson said, prompting fans to be like \u201d\u2018Go the fuck away, dude.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Next, \u201cthey\u2019re gonna do it with Walton Goggins,\u201d the former \u201cSaturday Night Live<\/a>\u201d star said, adding that fans are \u201cso fast to turn.\u201d <\/p>\n

Goggins heard about Davidson\u2019s comments and responded to them in kind on his Instagram page. <\/p>\n

\u201cI saw this article and had to respond. (Pete was talking about his own experience),\u201d Goggins said on Monday<\/a>, next to a screenshot of an article covering Davidson\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cPete we don\u2019t know each other but I appreciate the heads up,\u201d he wrote, later adding that \u201cAs a 53 yr old I\u2019m acutely aware that every experience has a shelf life. I appreciate so many of you going on this journey with me. I imagine a lot of you (and I don\u2019t blame you) are tired of hearing my homilies. Trust me I\u2019m tired of saying them.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI have a few things coming out that I have an obligation to talk about\u2026 not for me mind you, but to honor all of those that worked so hard to bring these stories to fruition,\u201d he added. \u201cSo if you see something with my name on it I encourage you not to click on it\u2026 unless you want to\u2026 and if you do\u2026I appreciate the support.\u201d <\/p>\n

Goggins went on to share that \u201cbeing included in this headline isn\u2019t a curse it\u2019s a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow lucky am I that this is even a possibility?!!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Goggins, who has been in Hollywood for nearly three decades, seems to have a pretty healthy relationship with fame. <\/p>\n

When asked by The Guardian<\/a> earlier this year if he would \u201cchoose fame or anonymity,\u201d the actor had a perfectly breezy response. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf I can get a reservation at a restaurant that I want to go to, I\u2019ll choose fame,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n
