Fallout ended up being a hell of a great series, and I absolutely love Walton Goggins’ performance as The Ghoul, who is a character that isn’t pleasant to look at.
The Ghoul is a freaky-looking character, and the makeup effects were so well done! The makeup was so good, that one day the actor scared the shit out of himself!
During a recent interview with IGN, he talked about the Ghoul’s makeup and what it was like wearing it throughout the show’s production.
Goggins shared the story about how at one point while they were shooting in Namibia, South Africa, when he fell asleep with his makeup on, and when he woke up it was a nightmare.
He explained: “There was one time when we were in Namibia, man, I was so exhausted, and I had this stuff on, and it was these little trailers, whatever they had in Namibia.”
“And I woke up from this very strange nap,” he continued, “and I happened to be sleeping in front of this mirror, and I woke up I was like ‘Oh my god! Goddamn!’ Like it really freaked me out. I scared the shit out of myself is what I’m saying.”
That’s one of those things you wish would’ve gotten caught on camera. What a hilarious reaction that would be to see!
Being completely out of it, and unprepared for that visual, of course Goggins freaked out! The actor got the full effect of what everyone else around him was seeing.
