What did The White Lotus’ Aimee Lou Wood say about her teeth?
Aimee Lou Wood’s teeth have sparked conversation following her debut in The White Lotus Season 3.
In a recent interview with On Demand Entertainment, Wood commented on how her natural teeth make her stand out in American roles. She said, “No Americans have my teeth… They just don’t. I’d have to get veneers.” She recalled an experience while performing in a play in Chicago, where a person noted that her accent was convincing, but her appearance gave away that she wasn’t American.
In The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 1, Chloe, portrayed by Charlotte Le Bon, compliments Wood’s character Chelsea, on her teeth and then asks, “You’re from England, right?” The exchange emphasizes cultural differences in beauty standards.
Previously, in an interview with Stylist, Aimee Lou Wood shared her thoughts on her teeth, revealing that she initially auditioned for Lily in Sex Education because she believed she had a better chance since the character was supposed to wear braces. She recalled thinking, “It’s a Netflix show, I’m not going to get on there with my teeth.”
Wood has spoken about how her teeth have influenced her confidence and perceptions of her own appearance. When asked if her teeth had been a barrier to roles, she said, “No, I don’t. It’s completely in my head. It’s a myth I’ve told myself.” However, she admitted that her teeth “impacted [her] confidence so much” and recalled feeling surprised when she received callbacks for television roles.
She noted that Sex Education changed her outlook as fans shared messages about how her appearance made them feel seen. She also credited Georgia May Jagger’s modeling success for shifting perceptions of prominent teeth, stating, “I want to thank Georgia May Jagger for representing the buck teeth.”
