She explains that while it makes filming something of a challenge, it is in keeping with show creator Mike White’s vision for the series.
Now, in the latest series exploring the lives of staff and guests at the White Lotus, Aimee stars as Chelsea, a young woman from Manchester who arrives at the Thai resort with her older American boyfriend, Rick, played by Fallout ’s Walton Goggins.
“At one point, I was having my hair done and the stylist asked halfway through, ‘Am I chatting to Aimee or Chelsea?’ and I said, ‘I don’t even know any more.’ You become a White Lotus guest – because you are living there – so the lines get so blurred.
Aimee Lou Wood stepped out of her comfort zone and upped sticks to Thailand for seven months in order to film the new series of The White Lotus.
The cast took up residence at the Four Seasons hotel, which doubled as the White Lotus, living at the place where they were filming for half of last year.
