In his post, Goggins wrote, “Pete we don’t know each other but I appreciate the heads up.” He referenced Davidson’s mention of his own experiences, adding, “We agree on one thing… Pedro Pascal isn’t a good man, He’s a great man. A dear friend of mine.” Goggins, who is 53, acknowledged that each journey has a limited lifespan, expressing gratitude for his audience’s support.

Goggins continued, detailing his commitment to upcoming projects and the dedication of those involved. “I have a few things coming out that I have an obligation to talk about… not for me mind you, but to honor all of those that worked so hard to bring these stories to fruition.” He also encouraged followers to engage with his work, stating, “If you see something with my name on it, I encourage you not to click on it… unless you want to.”

He affixed a positive spin on his inclusion in conversations like Davidson’s, saying, “To me, being included in this headline isn’t a curse it’s a blessing.” He reflected on the opportunities he has had, concluding with a determined tone: “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.”

The Instagram post featured a carousel of images, including Goggins smoking and photos of the Eiffel Tower, enhancing the personal nature of his message.
