Are Aimee Lou Wood's teeth in The White Lotus real? Details explored

Aimee Lou Wood recently made a remarkable appearance in the third season of The White Lotus. Previously having risen to fame after appearing on Netflix's Sex Education, The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood has perennially been questioned about her teeth. Over the years, Wood has come to develop her own unique characteristic attributes, and much of it has to do with her teeth and her uniquely British demeanor.

It is a known fact that The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood's teeth are real, and she has time and again emphasized the fact that her teeth have been an integral part of her personality. Wood kickstarted her career doing theatrical productions at home in London before finding resounding success with Sex Education, a show that ran for four seasons.

Wood has previously admitted in interviews that there was a time when her teeth made her lack confidence to the extent that she never considered herself to be up for acting in television shows. Similarly, Wood has also attested the fact that she considers herself to be replete with a British sensibility that often doesn't let her aggressively pursue acting roles.

Here's everything that we know.

The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood, opens up about her teeth

Wood addressed the questions regarding her teeth as a part of her appearance in a detailed 2020 interview with Stylist. When asked if she considered her teeth to be an impediment in her career, Wood answered:

"No, I don’t. It’s completely in my head. It’s a myth I’ve told myself. I had it in my brain that I’m not conventional-looking enough and that’s a mental barrier I’ve had to overcome."

Similarly, when asked about whether her appearance ever played a role in determining her confidence, Wood explained:

"I’d always be super confident when I went to theatre auditions but if it was a TV thing I’d be so shocked when I got a recall. I sometimes thought, ‘Oh, a Channel 4 thing, I might have a chance on there.’ Then Sex Education came along and I was like, ‘Well, what have I seen on Netflix? Everyone has perfect Hollywood teeth.’ And now, of course, I’m getting hundreds of messages from people going, “Oh my god, you’ve got teeth like mine. Now I go to school and people think I’m cool because I look like Aimee.” Instead of it being “Bugs Bunny” or whatever. Because that’s what happened to me. Georgia May Jagger became the face of Rimmel London when I was at school and all of a sudden it went from me being goofy to, ‘Oh, you’re a bit of a model, aren’t you?’ So I want to thank Georgia May Jagger for representing the buck teeth."

Aimee Lou Wood talks about adopting an American attitude

The third season of The White Lotus features a predominantly American cast, including Leslie Bibb, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and so on. As per THR, Wood eventually adapted to this mostly all-American atmosphere in their own way:

"These people live in Holly­wood, 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. All I ever do is take the piss 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."

The White Lotus is exclusively available on Prime Video.
