On March 23, 2014, fans of the hit CBS legal drama, The Good Wife, were left in shock as the show killed off one of its major characters, Will Gardner, played by Josh Charles. What made this plot twist even more remarkable was the fact that the departure had been tightly under wraps, with no leaks or spoilers making their way online. However, it seems that one actor couldn't resist spilling the beans – Alan Cumming, who portrayed the character Eli Gold on the show for all seven seasons.
During a recent press event for his new Peacock series, The Traitors, Cumming confessed to being the least discreet person when it came to keeping secrets about the show. He revealed that he would freely tell people about the shocking death of Will Gardner, even volunteering the information without being asked. From hairstylists to random fans, Cumming didn't hold back from sharing this major plot point. Reflecting on his loose lips, Cumming humorously remarked, 'I told a hairdresser, which is the worst person you can tell a secret to.'
