‘White Lotus’ Star Aimee Lou Wood On Why She Felt “Ugly” & How Michelle Monaghan & Carrie Coon Helped Her Feel Comfortable With Sex Scenes


Aimee Lou Wood is looking back at her time filming The White Lotus and making some revelations about feeling "ugly" and how her female co-stars helped her feel comfortable with the intimate scenes.

Wood played Chelsea in the third season of the HBO anthology series and, in a new interview, noted that show creator Mike White had to fight to cast her. The Sex Education alum said she was put at ease after talking to her co-stars Michelle Monaghan and Carrie Coon about the explicit scenes and whether they made sense for her character. Viewers discovering her as an actress have commented on her teeth throughout the season, making Wood question if the same amount of attention would’ve been given to that aspect if she were a man.
