The White Lotus is one of the jewels in the HBO crown. Each season of the satire follows a fresh crop of fabulously wealthy hotel guests at a luxury resort. Its first season was set in Maui, and the follow-up took place in Siciliy.

Now, a load of beautiful people have jetted off to the chain’s Thailand location. One of the couples in particular have become adored by fans for their off-screen friendship. Obviously, we mean Rick and Chelsea, who are played by Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood, respectively.

The pair play the much-discoursed age-gap couple who had a very “tender” sex scene.

“This is what we think should happen. This is why we think it’s important.” Because we don’t see a lot of tenderness from Rick to Chelsea the rest of the time,” The ex Sex Education star told ELLE. “So we have to make sure that when they’re physical and intimate in that way, that you see the love. We don’t want it to be like a f***** gratuitous [sex scene]. We wanted it to be very tender.’

The internet has picked up this and they have been obsessing over their behind-the-scenes vibes.

Some want to have a White Lotus summer like them

“Need an aimee Lou wood Walton goggins in Thailand for white lotus summer,” one person posted.

Another wrote, “when I say I want what they have.”

Another person simply asked “me and who.”

One person posted, “this is everything and more to me.”

Some obsessed about how much they fancy Walton Goggins

“I would ruin my life for him,” someone wrote.

Others marvelled at their deep working relationship

“I think every single day about that interview where Walton said he and Aimee became very “enmeshed” during filming and that she was “the most important person” to him in Thailand and he “thinks the world of her” it makes me want to scream into a pillow,” one person wrote.

Others thought it was good for The White Lotus to highlight the ‘most beautiful relationships’

Wood is from the Manchester suburb town of Stockport and Walton Goggins is a 53-year-old actor best known for his work on Fallout and the Righteous Gemstones.
