9 April 2025<\/time>\n <\/p>\nAimee Lou Wood feels “sad” that her teeth are talked about more than her acting work.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Aimee Lou Wood plays Chelsea in the third series of The White Lotus<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old actress is “really happy” that the prominent gap in her smile is “symbolising rebellion and freedom”, but she feels annoyed that people are constantly talking about “a woman’s appearance” instead of her career.<\/p>\n
She told GQ Hype magazine: “It makes me really happy that it\u2019s symbolising rebellion and freedom, but there\u2019s a limit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole conversation is just about my teeth, and it makes me a bit sad because I’m not getting to talk about my work. They think it\u2019s nice because they\u2019re not criticising.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd, I have to go there \u2026 I don\u2019t know if it was a man would we be talking about it this much? It\u2019s still going on about a woman\u2019s appearance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n‘The White Lotus’ series three star was told by a producer at the end of the first week of filming in Thailand for the hit HBO dark comedy-drama that the show’s creator Mike White had fought for Aimee to play Chelsea.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, she worried that “HBO didn’t want me” because of her “ugly” looks.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained: “Someone told me how much Mike had fought for me. They said, \u2018It had to be you, no matter what HBO said.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\n“It was honestly from the nicest place, but my little head goes, \u2018HBO didn\u2019t want me. And I know why HBO didn\u2019t want me, it\u2019s because I’m ugly. Mike had to say \u2018Please let me have the ugly girl! That was the thing that was in my head.”<\/p>\n
\nHowever, she was quickly assured by Mike that being quirky was not an issue.<\/p>\n
\nAimee said Mike told her: “Don\u2019t get in the way of your weirdness. Be freaky!”<\/p>\n
\nThe dark comedy-drama follows “the exploits of various guests and employees of the fictional White Lotus resort chain, whose stay becomes affected by their various dysfunctions”.<\/p>\n
\nThe star-studded cast – including Patrick Schwarzenegger (Saxon Ratliff ), Parker Posey (Victoria Ratliff) and Sarah Catherine Hook (Piper Ratliff) – set up home at the Four Seasons hotel in Koh Samui for seven months, and Aimee admitted she struggled to grip onto reality and was emotionally drained.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: “I had a slow and steady disintegration of my sanity …<\/p>\n
\n“It was like nothing I\u2019d ever experienced. It did feel like a bit of a social experiment.”<\/p>\n
\nThe long filming schedule for the show made the ‘Toxic Town’ actress realise how much she appreciates a normal, quiet life, admitting: “I want to have a weekend. I want to be with my friends.<\/p>\n
\n“I don’t want to not be thinking about f****** progressing my career for one second, because I don’t even f****** care about progressing my career. So why is all my energy going towards something I don’t care about.”<\/p>\n
