Walton Goggins is being dubbed as the new ‘Internet’s boyfriend’, the kind of Gen-Z phrase that makes a Gen X like me want to vomit up my skeleton. But I do fully understand the appeal of his character, Rick, in The White Lotus season 3, the kind of wry, hard-bitten, damaged ageing male with an impossibly buff body that makes women of the internet go weak at the knees.
Men of the internet too. But for men of particular age – middle aged types – he holds particular appeal.
