Aimee Lou Wood, known for her role in "The White Lotus", expresses her fatigue over the focus on her prominent teeth rather than her acting. While she acknowledges the positive discourse around her 'imperfection', it often overshadows her character, Chelsea. Wood reflects on the irony of her once-bullied feature now garnering admiration, highlighting the contrasting views she faces, especially from American audiences. Despite positive reactions, she feels the conversation still centers too much on her appearance, prompting her desire to focus more on her performances instead.
It's, like, cool, and now I want to stop f-king talking about it. Can I talk about my character? Why am I talking about my gnashers? It's like now I'm just a pair of front teeth.
I understand what it represents. People feel more confident about their imperfections. It does feel a bit weird that the thing I got bullied for is now the thing that's defining me.
The Americans can't believe it. But they're all being lovely.
They like, dissect my teeth and say what is wrong with it but then at the end go, 'But we don't think she should change a thing.'
