Aimee Lou Wood Says Angelina Jolie Backed Her for Speaking Up on 'Anxious People' Set

Her remarks surface in a Harper’s Bazaar profile ahead of her Women of the Year honor.

Overview

  • Wood says she halted an emotional take after multiple crew members shouted directions and asked for a single voice to guide the scene.
  • She recounts seeing Jolie give her a thumbs up in support, which she describes as affirming her decision to assert boundaries on set.
  • The interview appears in Harper’s Bazaar UK’s December/January issue, with the magazine on sale November 7.
  • Wood is due to receive the Television Actress award at Harper’s Bazaar’s Women of the Year Awards on Thursday.
  • Anxious People is described as a darkly comic hostage drama from Fredrik Backman’s novel, with Wood as a reluctant bank robber and Jolie as an investment banker, a story reported alongside renewed calls for stronger on‑set standards.
