“Aimee Lou Wood’s Bold Response to SNL’s Teeth Jibe: Comedy or Cruelty?”
“Take the win and move on,” one said.
Another wrote, “I liked her better when she wasn’t whiny!”
Landing a role in The White Lotus, alongside co-stars Patrick Schwarzenegger, Leslie Bibb, Parker Posey, and Carrie Coon, was her breakthrough into American Hollywood.
“These people live in Hollywood,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I live in my little flat in South East London, and I’m so British in my sensibility that I wasn’t sure how to handle being around so many people who are so front-footed and confident.”

She said it felt “rebellious” to defy Hollywood’s beauty standards and embrace her look.
“All I ever do is take the p*ss out of myself. Even the way [White Lotus fans] are talking about me and my teeth — that I don’t have veneers or Botox — it feels a bit rebellious,” she continued.
When she was younger, she used to wonder whether she would land roles because she wasn’t “conventional-looking enough.”
“It’s completely in my head. It’s a myth I’ve told myself,” she told a Stylist in 2020. “I had it in my brain that I’m not conventional-looking enough, and that’s a mental barrier I’ve had to overcome.”

Aimee highlighted the role of intimacy coordinators in ensuring that the intimate scenes between the seemingly mismatched couple, with a 22-year age gap, were convincing.
“I love intimacy coordinators, and I think they’re absolutely essential,” Aimee told Elle and explained that she and Walton “designed” their intimate scene together.
“We were like, ‘This is what we think should happen. This is why we think it’s important.’ Because we don’t see a lot of tenderness from Rick to Chelsea the rest of the time,” the actress added.
“Being parodied by SNL is still a milestone, I’d think,” a social media user said
