Description

Actress Aimee Lou Wood, known for her role in The White Lotus, shared her personal journey of using acting as a safe space to process emotions, particularly body image issues. Filming in a swimsuit for the show initially caused her unwelcome body dysmorphia, but she transformed this challenge into a positive experience. After seven months of filming in Thailand, she found it difficult to separate herself from her character, Chelsea. Wood also recently opened up about her autism diagnosis, emphasizing the freedom she finds in being open about her experiences. This journey underscores the deep connections actors can form with their roles, often leading to self-discovery and growth.
