Aimee Lou Wood Says Angelina Jolie Backed Her After She Spoke Up on ‘Anxious People’ Set

In a new Harper's Bazaar interview, she describes how setting clear on-set boundaries has reshaped her confidence.

Overview

  • Wood said she became overwhelmed during an emotional take and asked for “one direction, one voice and no hand movements” after multiple crew members shouted instructions.
  • She recalled seeing Angelina Jolie give her a visible thumbs up in response, describing her co-star as down-to-earth despite her fame.
  • The actor shared that bikini scenes for The White Lotus reignited body dysmorphia from her teens, and she coped by channeling her character Chelsea’s confidence.
  • She will receive the Television Actress award at Harper’s Bazaar’s Women of the Year event on Thursday.
  • Anxious People, directed by Marc Forster and adapted from Fredrik Backman’s novel, is still in production with no release date and features Jolie, Jason Segel, Joanna Scanlan and Carol Kane.
