- LOS ANGELES — Hollywood
actress Aimee Lou Wood, who is receiving a lot of positive response for the
recently released third season of the hit streaming show ‘The White Lotus’, has
called the filming of the show in a luxurious Thai resort akin to participating
in a “social experiment".

- The new season is already drawing praise for Mike White’s
latest exploration of how terribly privileged people can behave in a beautiful
setting, reports ‘Deadline’.

- Aimee Lou Wood, whose breakthrough role came in Netflix
drama ‘Sex Education’, told ‘The Guardian’ newspaper that being ensconced in
The Four Seasons hotel for seven months without a break wasn’t always good for
her.
-
- She said, “Living in a hotel, that we also film in? It was
like a social experiment. In a way I will never, ever forget. I will never have
an experience like that again. It was so extreme. So the fun bits were
unbelievable, so special. The ocean, the landscape, it was majestic. Mike
[White, the director] is a genius. Everyone involved is amazing, it’s just the
circumstances are quite extreme”.
-
- She shared, “One day, I was having my hair done and Miia
(Kovero, the hair and makeup artist) was, like, ‘You need to go home. I don’t
know who I’m talking to any more, Aimee or Chelsea.’ I’d completely abstracted.
Everyone becomes their character to an extent, but I didn’t even know who I
was”.

- As per ‘Deadline, Aimee Lou Wood plays Chelsea, the sunny,
yoga-teacher girlfriend to her older boyfriend played by Walton Goggins,

something about Mike’s writing. Everyone always seems on the edge”.

was her first role straight out of drama school, but won her a BAFTA award for
her performance.
